Cause . . . . . : A minimum pool size percentage was requested
for pool
*MACHINE which will not be used for one of the following reasons:
-- If *MACHINE pool, the pool size is less than 1.4 times the
reserved
size for the pool.
There's other reasons but that's the only one that makes sense for
this
situation.
So, how does handle this "reserved size"?
The syntax of the last sentence makes your question difficult to
understand but the "reserved size" is the amount of space in use by
stuff the system considers should be immediately accessible. In the
machine pool this includes things like buffers for communications
lines, work management objects such as the Work Control Block Tables,
buffers for save/restore operations, common code, and a bunch of
other stuff.
The pool must be large enough for these, effectively permanent, items
plus a bit of work space. The system will not let you set it to a too
small value (and it can't go below 256KB anyway).
I decided to look for the Machine Pool Size calculation that **USED**
to be in the Work Management Guide. Do you think I can find it in
that next to useless Information Centre? Fat chance! I was starting
to think it had finally become useful but every time I venture out of
the tiny part I am most familiar with (i.e., the programming section)
I find that unless I **KNOW** where something is (or am lucky) it's
nearly impossible to find what I want. Perhaps I no longer **NEED**
to know how the machine pool size is determined--the system does it
for me--but that's no excuse not to provide the information so I can
understand what's happening. Might be buried in the help text for
Navigator but why should I have to start that bloated thing to read
information that should be in the documentation.
