Displaying Configuration Attributes
Catalog Configuration
retaindepth The number of online dump and associated audit dump 
generations that are to remain in the TMF catalog, as 
specified in an ALTER CATALOG command. 
released { off | on } Tells whether a dump tape’s status changes to Released 
(On) or Scratch (Off) when the tape is marked for deletion.
roundrobin ROUNDROBIN attribute setting. If ON, the catalog is 
searched in round-robin fashion, so that all tapes in the 
catalog are used before any are re-used. If OFF, the 
catalog is searched in the standard way, so that the first 
available tape after the beginning of the tape list is used.
Last Reel Name (identifier) of tape reel, if TMF has been started and a 
tape has been assigned. Otherwise, this field displays the 
following information:
•
“None” if TMF has been started but no tape has been 
assigned.
•
“TMF not started” if TMF is stopping or stopped.
This field only appears if ROUNDROBIN is ON, and is not 
generated when the OBEYFORM option is used in the 
INFO TMF or INFO CATALOG command.
BeginTrans Configuration
TRANSCOUNTTHRESH 
(integer1, integer2)
The upper and lower limits at which the number of active 
transactions in the system automatically disables and 
reenables new transactions. When the transaction count 
reaches integer2, new transactions are disabled. When 
the number falls below integer1, new transactions are 
reenabled. 
TMFLIBMEMTHRESH 
(integer3, integer4)
The percentages of processor memory allocated to TMFLIB 
that can be used before TMF disables or reenables new 
transactions. When the memory used reaches integer4, 
all new transactions are disabled. When the memory used 
falls below integer3, new transactions are reenabled. 
TMPMEMTHRESH
(integer5, integer6)
The percentages of processor memory allocated to the 
transaction management process (TMP) that can be used 
before TMF disables or reenables new transactions. When 
the memory used reaches integer6, new transactions are 
disabled.  When the memory used falls below integer5, 
new transactions are reenabled. 
TRANSPERCPU
(integer7, integer8)
The number of transactions that can be started in the 
processors on which the TMP is not running (integer7), 
and the number that can be started in the processors on 
which the TMP is running (integer8).
