BIGPIN Feature: Support Up To 12000 Concurrent Processes.
For Event Types -101 through -211, the program will NOT function correctly with the
BIGPIN feature enabled. You will need to resolve this issue with the appropriate "owner"
before your system can have greater than 8190 processes executing concurrently.
NOTE These programs should work properly as long as the BIGPIN feature is not
turned on. The BIGPIN feature cannot be enabled on Release 7.0, but will be
available in a future Release of MPE/iX.
You will need to determine the correct "owner" for each program that logs a BIGPIN event.
You can find the name of the program that triggered the Event by looking at "Program
File" field in the log record (using LOGTOOL - see above). Based on the name of the
program, try to determine the correct "owner."

Class) systems.
MPE/iX has a feature known as "MAXPIN scaling." The purpose of MAXPIN scaling is to
limit the MAXPIN value on low-end machines to a more appropriate number, and to scale
the size of various OS data structures accordingly. The MAXPIN scaling algorithm
