Re: What happens when the ASP threshold value in System Service Tools is exceeded?

Hi, Rob:

I see this topic mentioned briefly on page 141 of this Redbook:

AS/400 Disk Storage Topics and Tools SG24-5693

http://www.readbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245693.html

Since SNADS (and SNDNET for e-mail) use "distribution queues" and a "store-and-forward" approach, with guaranteed delivery and two-phase commit logic, it is understandable why these services would be stopped when DASD space becomes scarce. I imagine that this still holds true.

Does that help?

Second, I am talking about a single ASP shop.

Now, I seem to remember back when we were still running SNADS that some
items would shut down if this was exceeded. Is there some place where
this is documented? All I read now is that some system message is sent.
Perhaps they considered SNADS shutting itself down was independent. That
SNADS was doing it's own checking for that system message and shutting
itself down.

So, I repeat, is there someplace where it is documented what the
ramifications of exceeding this value are?
