These two system values specify the additional number of active jobs and total jobs for which auxiliary storage is to be allocated when the initial number of active jobs and total jobs at restart is reached.
Active Jobs (QADLACTJ)
Specifies the additional number of active jobs for which auxiliary storage is to be allocated when the initial number of active jobs at restart is reached. An active job is a job that has started running but has not ended. This auxiliary storage is allocated whenever the number of active jobs exceeds the storage which has already been allocated. Possible values are 1 through 32767.
The value of 100 is recommended for this system value. Setting this number close to 1 can cause frequent interruptions when many additional jobs are needed. The number should not be set too high because the time required to add additional storage should be minimized.
Total Jobs (QADLTOTJ)
Specifies the additional number of jobs for which auxiliary storage is to be allocated when the initial number of jobs at restart is reached. This auxiliary storage is allocated whenever the number of jobs exceeds that for which storage has already been allocated. Possible values are 1 through 32767.
The value of 100 is recommended for this system value. Setting this number close to 1 will cause excessive interruptions when many additional jobs are needed. The number should not be set too high because the time required to add additional storage should be minimized.
