The following IXLCONN parameters define the common requirements
of the cache, list, and lock structures. Parameters specific to each
structure type are explained in
other topics.
- STRNAME
- Specifies the name of the structure to which you want to connect.
- STRSIZE
- Specifies the size of the structure in 4K blocks. The size specified
in the CFRM policy is the maximum size for allocation of this structure.
To allocate a smaller size structure, use this IXLCONN keyword.
- CONDATA
- Specifies connector data to be passed to your exit routines.
- STRDISP
- Specifies the disposition of the structure when all connections
are released.
- CONDISP
- Specifies the disposition of this connection in case of the connection's
abnormal termination.
- CONNAME
- Specifies the name of this connection.
- ALLOWREBLD
- Specifies whether this connection allows user-managed structure
rebuild to be initiated for the structure.
- ALLOWALTER
- Specifies whether this connection allows structure alter to be
initiated for the structure.
- ALLOWAUTO
- Specifies whether this connection allows system-managed processes
to be initiated for the structure.
- SUSPEND
- Specifies whether this connection can tolerate suspension of work
units during system-managed processing for a structure.
- RATIO
- Specifies whether this connection allows the ratio of entries-to-elements
to be changed if the structure is altered.
- MINENTRY
- Specifies the minimum number of “in-use” (list) and “in-use and
changed” (cache) entries that are to be available at the completion
of structure alter processing.
- MINELEMENT
- Specifies the number of “in-use” (list) and “in-use and changed”
(cache) elements that are to be available at the completion of structure
alter processing.
- NONVOLREQ
- Specifies whether the connector to the structure requires that
the data in the structure be both nonvolatile and failure-independent.
- CONLEVEL
- Specifies a connector's level to be passed to peer connections
in the event exit.
- CFLEVEL
- Specifies the requested level of the coupling facility in which
the structure is to be allocated.
- CONNECTIVITY
- Specifies the scope of system connectivity to a coupling facility
in which the structure is to be allocated.
- EVENTEXIT
- Specifies the address of your event exit.
- COMPLETEEXIT
- Specifies the address of your complete exit.
- ACCESSTIME
- Specifies the length of time that you can tolerate not having
access to the structure while SVC Dump holds serialization on the
structure.
- MAXTIME
- Specifies the maximum amount of time that you can tolerate not
having access to the structure.
The IXLCSP service can be used to assist you when defining certain
IXLCONN parameters. See Using the IXLCSP Service to Determine Structure Size or Attributes.
