"Following a security
audit some small changes were made including access
being revoked for a particular file. This change caused
a job to loop and generate spool files which sent the
auxiliary storage soaring. As a last resort, we were
forced to purchase additional disk to give us the
necessary investigation time. Surely there’s a better
way to deal with these types of issues." -IT

QSystem Monitor’s (QSM) real-time DASD growth monitoring
capabilities are ideal for combating the problems raised
in this scenario. Firstly, QSM’s combination of
real-time alerts and thresholds would have highlighted
the escalating situation before it reached any kind of
crisis level. Secondly, managers would have been able to
radically reduce investigation time because they would
have immediately seen the offending, looping job. More
importantly, they could resolve the issue without
endlessly searching subsystems. Finally, this resolution
would have eliminated any need to purchase more DASD for
the system.
