RMS_CONPOLICY

   RMS_CONPOLICY specifies the policy to be used for dealing with
   high-contention write-shared files. This dynamic parameter can
   be used to ensure fairness between lock conversions and new lock
   requests.

   Possible values are the following:

   Value          Explanation

   NEVER          (Default) Never use the higher overhead option
                  to improve fairness for any write-shared files
                  accessed on the system; minimal overhead.
   SOMETIMES      Use this option for fairer bucket access (but
                  higher overhead) to any write-shared files with
                  global buffers enabled that are accessed on the
                  system.
   ALWAYS         Use this option for fairer bucket access (but
                  higher overhead) to all write-shared files
                  accessed on the system.

   You can set this system parameter with the DCL command SET RMS_
   DEFAULT/SYSTEM/CONTENTION_POLICY=value and display the parameter
   with the DCL command SHOW RMS_DEFAULT.

   RMS_CONPOLICY is a DYNAMIC parameter.
