Increasing the size of the WLM couple data set

You must use a series of SETXCF commands to add a new, larger couple data set as the primary WLM couple data set. During this processing you may encounter a message from XCF (IXC250I) indicating your new couple data set is too small. The message indicates which subrecords had insufficient space. If this occurs you must reallocate the new couple data set with a larger size.

From the Definition Menu in the ISPF application, choose Utilities. In the Utilities pull-down, choose 4. Allocate couple data set. Record the values that you see in that panel. Then choose 5. Allocate couple data set using CDS values. Record the values that you see in that panel. Now compare the two sets of values and choose the highest from each category. For example, if the two panels showed the following values:

   Allocate couple data set         Allocate couple data set using CDS values

    Service policies . . _5                Service policies . . 10
    Workloads  . . . . . _40               Workloads  . . . . . _35
    Service classes  . . _35               Service classes  . . _30
    Application                            Application
    environments . . . . 100               environments . . . . _50
    Scheduling                             Scheduling
    environments . . . . _80               environments . . . . _50

Then you should use the highest values in each category, in this case 10, 40, 35, 100, and 80, to allocate your new couple data set.
