Re: IPL Errors

From Command Line DSPJOBTBL & DSPSYSSTS & WRKSYSSTS ... between them they 
will tell you how many jobs are in your system & some information about their 
types & their activity.  What you need to understand is that jobs that have 
left remnants of themselves on your AS/400, such as unprinted reports, and 
job logs ... all of them contain the statistical data you see when you look 
at the story on them & this data takes disk space & the system needs to keep 
track of it & there are performance issues associated with how many jobs you 
want it to be able to keep track of & how much additional overhead to add 
when you run out of whatever has been assigned.  

At IPL time you are taking back the disk space wasted from allowing for the 
tracking of jobs no longer in the system & refreshing space to track future 
additions, but the numbers have to be large enough to track what you already 
have there & it seems to me from these error messages that you need to review 
whether you have allowed enough.  This particular value QMAXACTLVL is only 
one of a family of activity level settings & you need to look at the whole 
bunch, like in the Work Management Manual.

From Command Line visit WRKSYSVAL & look up what the help has to tell you 
about QMAXACTLVL & what your current settings are.  WRKSYSVAL F4 & *PRINT 
will give you a nice chart of settings you now have vs. IBM defaults with 
flagged which have been changed in your system.

Al Barsa offered a document recently "Everything you ever wanted to know 
about SYSTEM VALUES" from a presentation he gave at COMMON ... it is GREAT & 
would be helpful to you & he seems willing to freely share it with folks in 
this discussion group ... it would be helpful to you in my opinion.

When in doubt, read the documentation, assuming you can find it.
