Feedback

   AUTOGEN feedback minimizes the necessity to modify parameter
   values or system file sizes. Feedback allows AUTOGEN to
   automatically size the operating system based on your actual work
   load. Sizing is the process of matching the allocation of system
   resources (memory and disk space) with the workload requirements
   of your site.

   Feedback is information about how various resources are used
   by the system's work load. This information is continuously
   collected by the operating system executive. Because the
   system collects feedback when exception events occur, feedback
   collection does not affect system performance.

   You control how AUTOGEN uses feedback by specifying an execution
   mode when you invoke AUTOGEN. When run in feedback mode, AUTOGEN
   analyzes this information and adjusts any related parameter
   values.

   AUTOGEN collects feedback during the SAVPARAMS phase by executing
   the image SYS$SYSTEM:AGEN$FEEDBACK.EXE. AUTOGEN writes feedback
   information to the file SYS$SYSTEM:AGEN$FEEDBACK.DAT. This file
   is then read during the GETDATA phase.
