Description

Limits DBIDs when using IOS Branch Entry.

Usage

During initialization Model 204 calculates a default number of Disk Buffer I/O control blocks (DBIDs). If you are using IOS Branch Entry, this default number may be unnecessarily high. Use the MAXSIMIO parameter to allocate a smaller number of DBIDs.

Using a lower MAXSIMIO value when you are also using IOS Branch Entry limits the number of DBIDs allocated and results in storage savings. If you are not using IOS Branch Entry, an explicit MAXSIMIO setting is ignored and the value calculated by Model 204 is used instead.
