MAXRECALLTASKS: Specifying the maximum number of active recall tasks

Explanation: MAXRECALLTASKS(nn) is an optional parameter specifying the number of active recall tasks DFSMShsm can concurrently process. For nn, substitute a decimal number from 1 to 15 for the number of concurrent recall tasks DFSMShsm can process.

SMS relationship: Parameter has the same meaning when applied to SMS-managed or non-SMS-managed DASD volumes or data sets.

SETSYS default: If you specify a value larger than 15, the SETSYS default for nn is 15.

DFSMShsm default: If you do not specify this parameter on any SETSYS command, the DFSMShsm default for nn is 15.

Note: The MAXRECALLTASKS parameter is utilized in the processing of deletes initiated by secondary space management.
