Detect and Prevent DASD Growth:
"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."

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.
