Specifying the number of hash table slots

The number of hash table slots that IMS builds for a statically defined resource depends on the total number of resources; you can specify additional slots.

The number of hash table slots built by IMS for a statically defined resource (such as LTERMs, physical terminals, and users) is one-eighth the total number of the resource. To specify additional slots required for a resource created dynamically (conversations, LTERMs, physical terminals, and users), as a rule-of-thumb use one-eighth of the estimated total number of a dynamic resource. You might need to adjust this value. For information about setting the number of slots for specific hash tables, see the LHTS, NHTS, and UHTS parameters in IMS procedure and DCC procedure.
