IMS TM - General

  Use this page to configure IMS TM support for this enterprise server.

  Note: You can use the resolved value of an environment variable in any fields for the entry of file or directory paths. To do this, prefix the environment variable you want to include with a dollar ($) sign; for example:

      $production\programs

  where production is an environment variable.

  If you want to use a dollar sign as part of the value, rather than as an indicator of an environment variable, you must escape the dollar sign character with a backslash(\); for example:

      \$production\programs

  In this case, $production will not be replaced by the value of the environment variable.

Message queue

  Use these fields to define the attributes of the IMS message queue.

  Top

Name

  Specify the path to use for the message queue. The default is ESDEMO/IMSMESGQ.dat in the enterprise server's workarea directory.

  Top

Maximum blocks

  Specify the maximum number of blocks to be used to store the message queue. The value must be in the range 4 through 63488. The default is 32.

  Top

Queue buffer count

  Do not change this setting this unless advised to by Micro Focus.

  Top

Cold start

  Choose what happens when you next start this enterprise server:

  - None - No information is deleted.
  - Stats only - Only statistics are deleted.
  - Definitions and stats - Resource definitions and statistics are deleted.
  - Everything - All information (including the message queue) is deleted.

  Top

MFS path

  Specify the location for the files produced by MFSGENs.

  Top

MFS attribute bias

  Choose how attributes are assumed to be defined for transaction programs running on this enterprise server:

  - Binary - The programs define attributes as binary values, for example:

        05 ATTRIBUTE-VARIABLES.
           10 CURSOR-ATTR    PIC X(2) VALUE X"C0C1".
           10 ERROR-ATTR     PIC X(2) VALUE X"C0C9".
           10 OK-ATTR        PIC X(2) VALUE X"00C1".
           10 PROT-ATTR      PIC X(2) VALUE X"00F1".

  - Character - The programs define attributes as characters, for example:

        05 ATTRIBUTE-VARIABLES.
           10 CURSOR-ATTR PIC X(2) VALUE "{A".
           10 ERROR-ATTR PIC X(2) VALUE "{I".
           10 OK-ATTR PIC X(2) VALUE " A".
           10 PROT-ATTR PIC X(2) VALUE " 1".

    This setting only has an effect on programs compiled using the ASCII character set; it is ignored for programs compiled using EBCDIC.

    Where you specify Character, Enterprise Server will automatically translate the values of MFS attributes to those that would be used if the program were compiled as EBCDIC. For example: the hexadecimal 7B41 value produced by assigning '{A' to an attribute and compiling with ASCII, will be converted to the correct C0C1 value. Where you specify that attribute values have been coded as binary data, Enterprise Server will take no action.

MFS null character

  Specify the character to use as the MFS NULL character. You can enter the value in character or hexadecimal form. The default is X'36'.

  This setting only has an effect on programs compiled using the ASCII character set; it is ignored for programs compiled using EBCDIC.

  Top

Keypoint frequency

  Specify how many thread requests are to be processed before a keypoint is generated. This must be in the range 0 through 65535. The default is 64. Specifying 0 indicates that keypoints are only generated when the enterprise server starts and shuts down.

  Top

Persist

  Check this to specify that the action you specified in the Cold start option occurs each time this enterprise server starts.

  Top

Trailing space

  Check this to specify that you must add a trailing space when entering transaction names in this enterprise server.

  Top

Application path

  Specify the location of the transaction programs running on this enterprise server.
