Description
This parameter limits the number of snaps which can be issued with any given snap title. That is, it prevents some bug from using up the snaps available as specified by the SNAPLIM parameter.
The *SNAP snap title is not subject to SNAPLIMD, thus:
- When the *SNAP command is issued, each snap thus created is considered unique, and will not be suppressed due to SNAPLIMD.
- When the BUMPSNAP command is issued, each snap thus created is considered unique, and will not be suppressed due to SNAPLIMD.
Note that
- When a snap is suppressed due to exceeding the SNAPLIM parameter, the SNAPID parameter is incremented.
- If that is not the case (that is, if the SNAPLIM parameter is less than the SNAPID parameter), if there have already been at least as many snaps actually produced for the given snap title as the value of the SNAPLIMD parameter:
- The snap is suppressed and the SNAPID parameter is not incremented (otherwise, the purpose of SNAPLIMD would be circumvented).
