The JOB_START_MINIMUM_MEMORY_MB statement prevents PowerExchange jobs on z/OS from starting if the extended memory available in the JCL control region is less than the value specified in the statement.
When the PowerExchange Listener does not have required memory to start a task, the following events occur:
The PowerExchange Listener logs message PWX-00644.
The PowerExchange Listener suspends the incoming connection request until the required memory becomes available.
After the required memory becomes available, the PowerExchange Listener accepts the incoming connection if the PowerExchange Client has not timed out.

Valid values are between 20 and 100. You should change the value only at the direction of Informatica Global Customer Support. Decreasing the value to 20 might allow more tasks to start before the Listener suspends incoming connections. However, the lower value increases the possibility of memory-related S878 abends. Increasing the value to 100 reduces the risk of S878 abends but also reduces the number of tasks that can be accepted before the Listener suspends incoming connections. The optimal setting should allow the PowerExchange Listener to handle at least 140 tasks without memory abends.
