Re: PTF needed?

First, let's divorce the two issues.  Interactive threshold has nothing to
do with these two system values.

These two system values were added in V4R4 as a further warning after the
CPF0907 message that is sent when you exceed the DASD ASP threshold as set
in SST/DST.  Besides getting another warning message, for this threshold,
you can specify an action.  The values listed below are the shipped
defaults.  Some BIG ASS customer convinced IBM to invest in these two new
system values, but I'm not sure that it was a wise investment.

Here are our values:
QSTGLOWACN: *MSG
QSTGLOWLMT: 5.0000

WRKSYSSTS shows the System storage used:  48.58%

We've got plenty of DASD, so I don't think that that is the problem...

Tom, this actually controlled via two system values.  We skipped from V4R2
to V4R4 and they showed up there.  The values are QSTGLOWACN  *STG
Auxiliary storage lower limit action and QSTGLOWLMT  *STG     Auxiliary
storage lower limit.  The help text will give you all of the details.
Maybe Mr. Barsa can shed even more light on this.  I know that we set the
QSTGLOWLMT to 25%.  It will not stop your system just lets you know that
you need either to contact IBM and by more DASD or you need to cleanup your
system,

Hope this helps.

We recently upgraded our 720 from v4r3 to v4r5.  Now we're seeing lots of
messages telling us that we've our interactive threshold (never happened
at v4r3 or earlier).  Anyone know of a PTF to address this issue?
