To configure the delay and block values when retrieving journal entry blocks, do the following:
Note: Prior to configuring the RCVJRNE call delay, carefully read the information provided
in Understanding the data area format and Determining if the data area should be changed.
-
Create the data area on the systems on which the object send jobs are running. Type the following command:
CRTDTAARA DTAARA(installation_library/MXOBJSND) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)Note: Although you will see improvements from the file attribute cache with the default character value (LEN(2)), enhancements are maximized by recreating the MXOBJSEND data area as a LEN(20) to use the RCVJRNE call delays. -
In the above example, 636 blocks were sent but only one of the sent blocks were full. Making changes to the delay multiplier or altering the small or medium block size specification would probably make sense in this scenario. Recommendations for changing the block size values are provided in this section.
CHGDTAARA DTAARA(installation_library/MXOBJSND) VALUE(‘cache_size,10,02,30,01,0100’)Note: For information about the cache size, see Caching
extended attributes of *FILE objects.
