You can control the Inventory Scavenger and the History Scavenger
by specifying the parameter values for the Run control time interval and
the Run control start time using the "CICS® VR server
scavenger settings" window. The specified parameter values are used to
control the scavenger runs for the next time the CICS VR server address space is started.
To set the CICS VR
server address space scavenger parameters:
- Select option 8, CICS VR Settings, from the "CICS VR
main menu" window to open the "CICS VR settings menu" window.
- Select option 4 from the "CICS VR settings menu" window to open
the "CICS VR
server scavenger settings" window.
- Set the time interval and the start time for the Inventory
Scavenger and the History Scavenger using
the window below:

The CICS VR
server address space schedules the scavenger runs starting with start time,
if the start time is not a blank character string and it is greater than the
current time when the CICS VR server address space is started. The scavenger
then runs periodically once in each time interval. Otherwise it starts with
the next time interval after the CICS VR server address space is started
and then again periodically once in each time interval.
- Inventory scavenger
- The installation default settings for the time interval parameter and
the start time parameter respectively is a value of 24 and a blank character
string. The default setting means that the inventory scavenger runs once a
day starting on the next day after the CICS VR server address space is started.
A value of 0 for time interval means that the CICS VR
server will not schedule any runs of the inventory scavenger.
- History scavenger
- The installation default settings for the time interval parameter and
the start time parameter respectively is a value of 1 and a blank character
string. The default setting means that the history scavenger runs once an
hour starting on the next hour after the CICS VR server address space is started.
