Policy Definitions for Message Limits
SA z/OS allows you to limit the number of messages that can be captured for an individual automation resource (APL, MTR), MVS component defaults (MDF), system defaults (SDF), or application defaults (ADF). In absence of a custom default value, that limit is zero.
To set the captured message limit, specify a value in the Captured Messages
Limit field in the following policy items respectively.
- To set the limit for an individual APL instance or class, use the APPLICATION INFO Policy Item for Applications (APL).
- To set the limit for an individual MTR, use the MONITOR INFO Policy Item for Monitor Resources (MTR).
- To set the default limit for resource MVSESA, use the MVSESA INFO policy item for MVSCOMP Defaults (MDF).
- To set the default limit for a system, use the AUTOMATION OPTIONS Policy Item for System Defaults (SDF).
- To set the default limit for all APLs, use the policy item for Application Defaults (ADF).
Exceptional messages have their own limit that can be specified by setting the Exceptional Messages Limit field in the AUTOMATION OPTIONS policy item for System Defaults (SDF). The default is 300.
