Dear Scrooge - DASD is too cheap to fret about. Your solution could end up costing you more.
Gross abuse is really a management issue anyway. That said, I wonder if one could code up some clever JES purge commands. Job mask=evil user, greater than x% spool, over y days old, etc. My $0.02 (before taxes) The best of the holidays to you, yours, and theirs. May 2010 be the best year ever for us all. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 10:07 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: JES SPOOL "quota" by user? OK, I'm being Scrooge. But we have a person here who loves to use the JES2 SPOOL as a report repository. Most likely due to it being "easy" and not needing to bother with estimating his dataset size requirements. So, what would people think about being able to put a quota on JES2 SPOOL space by userid? Of course, scheduled jobs (test, model office/q&a, and prod) would need to run under an exempt userid. And I guess STCs should be exempt also. What about TSO logons? And what should happen when the quota is exhausted? An abend? An I/O error reported to the job?
