Socket number warnings

Socket number warnings

If the number of sockets continues to increase past 80 %, IMS Connect issues a new HWSS0772W message at a default increment of every 5 % increase in the number of sockets. When the number of sockets reaches the maximum allowable number, IMS Connect refuses any new connections and issues message HWSS0771W.

You can set the warning threshold by using the WARNSOC parameter on the TCPIP statement of the IMS Connect HWSCFGxx PROCLIB member. You can set the warning increment by using the WARNINC parameter on the TCPIP statement.

To prevent insignificant fluctuations in the number of sockets from flooding the console with messages, until the warning mechanism is reset, IMS Connect issues a HWSS0772W messages only once for the warning threshold and only once for each warning increment thereafter.

IMS determines the reset threshold by subtracting either twice the value of the WARNINC parameter or 5 % from the value of the MAXSOC parameter, whichever results in a lower reset threshold. When the reset threshold is reached, IMS Connect resets the warning mechanism and issues message HWSS0773I.

By default, IMS Connect resets the warning mechanism when the number of sockets falls to 70 % of the value of the MAXSOC parameter, which is the default value of the MAXSOC parameter less 10 %, which is two times the default value of the WARNINC parameter.
