AS400CFG.cmd Settings

The statements in the AS400CFG.CMD file are described in the following table.

AS400_MAX_SESSIONS = n

Specifies the total number of alert and automation sessions used.

AS400_SESSION_NAME_n = name

Specifies the name of an alert or an automation session defined to the AS/400 Manager interface and (together with the following two status variables) repeats n times where n is equal to the value specified in the variable AS400_MAX_SESSIONS.

AS400_SESSION_TYPE_n = ALR | AUT

Specifies whether the session type is an alert or an automation session.

AS400_sessname_MAX_SYSTEMS = n

Specifies how many AS/400 systems are connected in the session name sessname.

AS400_sessname_NAME_n = sysname

Specifies the AS/400 system name (sysname) for each of the AS/400 systems connected to the session sessname.

The following status variables apply to a single AS/400 system. Each line is repeated from 1 to 5 times, depending on the number of AS/400 systems that are connected to session sessname.

AS400_sessname_TAG_n_0 = m

Specifies the number of AS/400 tag names defined for AS/400 system number n that is connected to the session sessname.

AS400_sessname_TAG_n_m = tagname

Specifies an AS/400 tag (tagname) from 1 through m times for AS/400 system number n that is connected to the session sessname.

AS400_sessname_TERM_n = termname

Specifies a unique terminal ID or LU name (termname) to be used for identifying a terminal session before signon occurs to an AS/400 system.

AS400_sessname_PLIMIT_n = i

PLIMIT variables represent the maximum number of alerts (i) that can be processed from AS/400 system number n in a single pass, and are only defined for alert sessions. An initial default is set in the configuration, but this value can be changed dynamically in response to either the QTIME information or to some other user-determined criteria. The AS400CTL program responds to changes in the PLIMIT variables and adjusts its processing priorities accordingly.

AS400_sessname_TIMER_n = 0

The suspension timer value is set to 0 (zero) at CA Automation Point startup for each AS/400 system controlled by an alert or automation session.

AS400_sessname_RECINT_n = m

RECINT variables contain the time interval in minutes (m) between successive attempts to recover the associated system after a FAILED status occurs for that system.

AS400_sessname_RECMAX_n = m

RECMAX variables contain the number of recovery attempts (m) for the associated system after a FAILED status is recorded for that system.

AS400_sessname_RECCNT_n = m

RECCNT variables contain the current number of recovery attempts (m) that have been initiated for the associated system after a FAILED status has been recorded. A special rule sets the value to 0 (zero) after the system's status returns to ACTIVE.

AS400_sessname_QTIME_n = 0

The alert queue time value is set to 0 (zero) at startup and is only defined for alert sessions.

QTIME variables are maintained by the AS400CTL program and represent, for the latest alert from the relevant system, the difference (in minutes) between the workstation time when the alert is received and the recorded AS/400 time when the alert was generated.

AS400_sessname_LANG_n = yyy

Specifies the national language used by the current AS/400 system. Valid values for yyy are DAN, ENG, GER, SWE, USR, or ENU (English uppercase).

AS400_sessname_ST_n = RSTART | CLOSED

The initial status value is set for each AS/400 system connected to the session (sessname). RSTART indicates that an initialization script should be run for the relevant AS/400 system. CLOSED indicates that AS/400 Manager should ignore the system.

AS400_sessname_CST_n = STRTUP

The copy status value is set at initialization for each AS/400 system connected to the sessname session. The copy status variable is used by AS/400 Manager to record status changes for the CA Automation Point Plot feature.

AS400_sessname_SCRIPT_n = scriptname

Specifies the name of the initialization SCRIPT (scriptname) to be run against each AS/400 system in the session (sessname).

AS400_GLOBAL_GRP_0 = i

Specifies the number of global groups (i) that are defined.

AS400_GLOBAL_GRP_i_N = groupname

Specifies a global group (groupname) for a set of AS/400 systems. Variations of this status variable repeat i times.

AS400_GLOBAL_GRP_i_0 = j

Specifies the number of AS/400 systems (j) belonging to the global group groupname and is specified once for each global group (i).

AS400_GLOBAL_GRP_i_j = sysname

Specifies the name of each AS/400 system (sysname) belonging to the global group number i and is specified j times.
