So far, thanks to all who have replied. I'm going over various numbers and need some clarification. In the CMS Pool Planning guide, Estimate Max Pool Size, the formula is: maximum enrolled users = 300 * (# system defined users / # system active users) If I understand the definitions correctly #system defined users is number of users in USER DIRECT file. For us that number is 750 (but to CMA, I'm going round up to 1000), #system active users is the number of users logged on. On an average we have about 200 users logged on. So, plugging in the values to the formula above: 1500= 300 * ( 1000 / 200 ) So the MAXUSER statement should be 1500 ? If so, I'm way low, currently 300. Do I understand the formula and definitions correctly?

Although it's buried, the 51010 reason code is mentioned in Chapter 5 of the CMS File Pool Planning, Administration, and Operation manual: What Happens When the Limit is Reached: Logical catalog space is reserved during file pool generation. FILESERV GENERATE processing uses the MAXUSERS value to estimate and set the maximum logical catalog space. Whe n the server runs out of logical space, it displays a warning message on it s console and continues processing. Depending on their use of the file pool, users may receive error messages (DMS1146E) and error return codes (with reason cod es 51010 or 51020). When the logical catalog space is exhausted, you need to increase the MAXUSERS value for the file pool. Follow the instructions in Chapter 11, "Regenerating a Repository File Pool," on page xxx. Thanks, Sue
