We are attempting to tune our MAX_FILES parameter to an appropriate level without going too high.

If we do a simple analysis through a worst-case logic path (though many layers of called programs in our code) we can come up with some pretty high counts (> 1500).

However it's nearly certain that is not ever happening in real world use. Is there any utility or trace that can watch this value dynamically to determine the peak high water mark on open files?

ACUCOBOL-GT is integrated with a software management tool that allow you to do this.
Its name is Appmind, http://www.appmind.com/
Let me know if you want to know more about this.

Gisle,

Based on what I see on the website for Appmind, it appears that a lot of cool things can be monitored with this tool. Is AcuCobol integrated with Appmind in a way that we would be able to more easily diagnose MAVs, system crashes, leaking memory, etc? What other benefits do you see Appmind giving AcuCobol developers - especially in the Windows world?

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Gisle,
can You give me more info's about wich AppMind tool is integrated, and about it must be installed and configured to use it?
Bye Giovanni.

I've been trying to manage an open file count number for years. I'm in a character based environment, is AppMind even applicable to me (and on AIX so I suspect not). How can you get that kind of information with out it?

Fellow COBOL'ers,

Appmind is an application management tool which is integrated with ACUCOBOL-GT.

I am sorry, but I really have to ask you to talk with your account managers at Acucorp sales for further details and follow up.
As you certainly understand, I do not have the resources to follow up on all of you in a proper manner for this.

I took a look at it but it's way overkill for my purposes.

To the other people looking at open files, I've never perfected it, but I have used the debugger file trace files with a unix script to count when files are opened/closed to get a number of open files.
