154.0. "Limit of entries in ZAP$EXCEPTION database?" by TROU07::HANDY (Lyndon Handy-ITU Operations) Fri Oct 21 1994 14:08

What is the limit of the quantity of entries in the ZAP$EXCEPTION database?

A current customer of ours is running ZAP v5.2, and would like to know 
if they could have over 1000 entries in the database.  They have plans to have
over 1000 entries in the exception database, to meet the needs of a very large
computing environment.

If a limit of 1000 entries is imposed, what would it take to formalize the 
customer's request and get ZAP modified/enhanced?

	The exception list is a dynamically created linked list. However, ZAP uses an internal reference to this list which is limited to 65,535 rules. I would not recommend too many rules, as ZAP must scan through this list for each process on the system to determine which rule applies to it each minute. Try to have the list organized so that the most commonly applied rules are in the beginning of the list to improve performance. Keith
