Entering User Phantom Maintenance Parameters

Use the User Phantom Maintenance to set user-level controls on the number of phantom processes this user can be running or queued at any given point in time.

When a user initiates a phantom process and the system or user thresholds have been reached, the system queues the phantom process. The process waits until resources become available to continue execution. To maintain system stability, you can also set a limit on the number of processes that can be queued.

Note: See Controlling the Number of Phantoms Running to set system-level controls.
