Starting Infoprint Server with sufficient memory

When you use the print transforms, the amount of available memory for Infoprint Server must be at least 256 megabytes. To make sure that sufficient memory is available:

• In the Infoprint Server AOPSTART JCL procedure, specify a region size of at least 256 megabytes in the REGION parameter on the EXEC statement. If the REGION parameter is not specified, the default region size defined for your installation is used.
• Make sure that the maximum address space size for Infoprint Server is at least 256 megabytes.

  You can set the system-wide maximum address space size in the BPXPRMxx member or with the SETOMVS command.

  Examples:

  1. This statement in the BPXPRMxx member sets the maximum address space size to 256 megabytes:

     MAXASSIZE(268435456)  /* 256*1024*1024 = 256MB    */ 

  2. This command sets the maximum address space size to 256 megabytes:

     SETOMVS MAXASSIZE=268435456

  3. This command checks the MAXASSIZE value from the operator console:

     d omvs,o

  You can set the maximum address space for Infoprint Server higher than the system-wide maximum in the ASSIZEMAX parameter of the RACF® ADDUSER and ALTUSER command for the user that starts Infoprint Server. The ASSIZEMAX value overrides the MAXASSIZE value.

  If you enter the Infoprint Server aopstart command from the z/OS® UNIX command line during a TSO session, the SIZE parameter on the TSO/E LOGON panel determines the maximum region size for an address space. Specify a SIZE parameter of at least 256 megabytes.

  If you start Infoprint Server using the aopstart command, the z/OS UNIX ulimit command can limit the maximum size of the Infoprint Server address space.

• The z/OS IEFUSI user exit can modify the region size of an address space. IBM® strongly discourages you from altering the region size of address spaces in the OMVS subsystem category.
