Description
This parameter indicates a system-wide MP/204 processing option and applies only to z/OS.
This parameter is ignored when Model 204 is not running with MP/204 enabled.
| Setting | Meaning | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| X'01' | A thread should continue spinning on an MP lock even if it appears that the task holding the lock cannot be dispatched. | In many situations, continuing to spin provides better performance than doing an operating system wait for the lock to free up. |
| X'02' | A thread should stay on the maintask after getting a critical file resource. | To improve performance at an MP/204 site that is encountering a lot of task switching (a high STDEQ system statistic) and a lot of critical file resource conflicts. |
