Default versus small environment
Privileged support runs under one of two environments:
- Default environment
- By default, this mode is activated when all preconditions are satisfied. Use this mode for large installations that might require several privileged jobs to run when a resource shortage occurs. Activation rules require more free resource than is required for small environment. Privileged resource reservation is also larger.
- Small environment
- Use this environment for small installations with limited resource that is defined. Also, when a shortage occurs, only a few privileged jobs are allowed to diagnose and correct the situation. At the most, 10 privileged jobs can be started at once within the MAS when using the small environment.
This mode requires you to take action. The Default environment must be turned off with the
$TLIMITS command. For example:
Then, turn on small environment with the $TLIMITS command. For Example:
The $DLIMITS command can be used to determine which environment is active. Both environments share all of the privileged capabilities as described.
