Setting resource limiting testing intervals

Resource limiting testing intervals may be set to change the frequency of threshold testing from previously defined resource limits or rules.

The benefit of this feature is that, properly set, it can reduce the amount of CPU usage attributed to resource limiting (RLIM) processing.

These are the types of RLIM testing intervals:

Time-based interval settings allow you to specify the period of time that must pass between threshold tests. This interval is specified in seconds, and may be set for any number up to a period of one week (614800 seconds).
Command-instance interval settings allow you to specify the number of CICS EXEC or database calls that must be made between threshold tests. Any number of EXEC or database calls may be specified.
Once RLIM has been activated, a non zero setting for any of the interval types will cause that interval to be applied to all transactions. Also, any previous settings are ignored if a new setting is specified. Setting all interval types to 0 will result in the defaults being used.
