Field level entries – INN100-002

Powertech System Parameters

Field	Description	Valid Entries	Needed?
Data Queue	All data queues used for audit trail processing are named in the format "IDTLOGQ" + "x" where "x" is one of the characters A..Z or a number 0..9.	Single character suffix	Yes
Maximum size of each queue entry	This field, in bytes, specifies how large to make each entry of the data queue. Note that one audit trail entry from a trigger or journal is roughly equal to 240 bytes plus (2 x RecordLength of file) If a data queue entry length is too small for several files, it will always be skipped for either larger queues or the overflow file, so this could negatively impact performance.	Size in bytes	Yes
Maximum Entries	This corresponds to the SIZE() parameter on the CRTDTAQ command. A number may be placed here, or one of the special values MAX16MB or MAX2GB. Prior to V5R1, 16 Mb was the maximum size of a data queue, so those with V5 or above are recommended to use the *MAX2GB parameter.	Number or special value	Yes
Initial number of entries	Equivalent to second sub-parameter to the SIZE() parameter. See the help associated with CRTDTAQ for a detailed explanation	Initial entries to create room for	Yes
Comments	Up to 260 characters can be used to describe this entry in more detail.	Any narrative alphanumeric explanation	No, but recommended
