UserId overflow protection

Proceed as follows to check the SYSLOG-FGG disk space:

1. Switch on automatic size monitoring either in the UTM generation using MAX...,SYSLOG-SIZE=size or by administration (e.g. using the administration command KDCSLOG SIZE= size). In both cases, a value > 0 must be specified for size.

2. Create the SYSLOG-FGG using the following command:

   /CREATE-FILE-GROUP                                      -
   /   GROUP-NAME = filebase.SLOG                          -
   /  ,GENERATION-PARAMETER = *GENERATION-PARAMETER(       -
   /      MAXIMUM = n                                      -
   /     ,OVERFLOW-OPTION = CYCLIC-REPLACE  or REUSE-VOLUME )
   

The file generations are cyclically overwritten so that a maximum of n generations are cataloged in the FGG. In addition, it may happen that another (older) file generation occupies storage space internally in the BS2000. With size monitoring, each generation has a maximum of size UTM pages.

This means that the maximum space occupied by the SYSLOG-FGG is less than or equal to: (n+1) * size * (size of a UTM page).
