Responding to WTOR buffer shortages

When WTOR message buffer use reaches 80 percent of the limit specified at IPL, the system issues the following message:

IEA230E WTOR BUFFER SHORTAGE - 80% FULL

If the problem continues and WTO buffer use reaches its limit, the system issues the following action message:

IEA231A WTOR BUFFER SHORTAGE CRITICAL - 100% FULL

When the system notifies you that the WTOR buffers are 80% full, you should reply to the WTOR messages that are outstanding. If any of the WTORs have rolled off the screen (console roll mode is DEL=R), use the DISPLAY R,R command to retrieve the text of the outstanding requests.

To raise the limit of WTOR buffers for the duration of the IPL, issue the CONTROL M,RLIM command. If WTOR buffer use often reaches 80 percent of the limit, the limit for WTOR messages specified at IPL might be too low to handle the WTOR message traffic in the system. Your system programmer should code the RLIM parameter on the INIT statement in the CONSOLxx member to raise the WTOR buffer limit for the next IPL.
