TCP/IP Stack Optimization, Trace Levels for the OpenVMS Enterprise Option

Page 59 highlights

OpenVMS Enterprise Option Configuration TCP/IP Stack Optimization The configuration of the TCP/IP stack can affect client agent performance. Typically, the TCP Send and Receive quotas are set to 4096. Set these values to the largest value allowed by the specific stack installed on the OpenVMS system. Trace Levels for the OpenVMS Enterprise Option Occasionally, based on instructions from Computer Associates Technical Support, you may need to change the level of activity that is logged for the OpenVMS Enterprise Option. Because tracing levels can affect backup performance, do not change the values unless you receive specific instructions from Computer Associates Technical Support. Level Description ASO$TRACE ASO$TRACE_AST This controls the trace depth of the client agent. Valid values are -1 and 0 to 0xFFFFFFFF. Setting the ASO$TRACE value to -1 logs the most detail. This is a toggle. If defined, Asynchronous System Traps (ASTs) are traced. ASO$TRACE_IDENT This is a formatting parameter. The recommended value is between 0 and 5. The default is 3.

OpenVMS Enterprise Option Configuration
TCP/IP Stack Optimization
The configuration of the TCP/IP stack can affect client agent performance.
Typically, the TCP Send and Receive quotas are set to 4096. Set these values
to the largest value allowed by the specific stack installed on the OpenVMS
system.
Trace Levels for the OpenVMS Enterprise Option
Occasionally, based on instructions from Computer Associates Technical
Support, you may need to change the level of activity that is logged for the
OpenVMS Enterprise Option. Because tracing levels can affect backup
performance, do not change the values unless you receive specific instructions
from Computer Associates Technical Support.

Traps (ASTs) are traced.
