Any issues with many unused spoints/qset?

AC202603032340 over 6 years ago

Are there any issues with having an arbitrarily large and mostly unused set of spoints/qset in an EXTSEOUT run? I'm thinking of possible downstream issues.

Here's a scenario that would lead one to defining a large set of spoints/qset:

Can't use AUTOQSET

EIGRL with a frequency range

Unknown # of RESVECs

I have had up to a hundred unused before without any issues (I just tested using 10000 SPOINT's and at least there isn't a limit in the generation run)... the unused ones ought to get autospc'd in the downstream. The only issue I can think of would be ID conflicts if taking up too many available unique ID's!

Also, as a good practice, use the MANQ option to make sure the downstream QSET SPOINT ID is the same as the upstream (otherwise it can be an internally generated ID).

Sounds good. I assumed as much but wanted to hear some other opinions. Thanks for your insights.

Just a follow up note on this topic. I was doing some EXTSEOUT runs today and noted that having a very large set of spoints/qset led to slow run times. E.g. small set of spoints/qset job took 8 minutes, but when I had a large range of spoints/qsets defined (90000000 THRU 99999999) the same job with no other differences ran for more than 2 hours before I killed it.
