Choose System and Subsystem Names

The CA-L-Serv "system name" identifies the system where a copy of CA-L-Serv is running. When CA-L-Serv executes on multiple CPUs each CA-L-Serv in the complex identifies each of its partners through the system name that is specified at startup. By default, if no system name is specified at startup, CA-L-Serv uses the system SMF ID. We recommended that you use this default value. To override the default system name, use the SYSNAME= parameter in the CA-L-Serv startup procedure.

The CA-L-Serv "subsystem" name identifies the address space where CA-L-Serv is running. The Assoaiated products, such as CA Endevor Software Change Manager use the CA-L-Serv subsystem name to indicate the copy of CA-L-Serv with which they want to interact. When CA-L-Serv executes on multiple CPUs, all CA-L-Serv regions in the complex must share the subsystem name.

Most of the sites can use the default subsystem name LSRV. However, if you run multiple copies of CA-L-Serv on any system, assign a unique subsystem name to each copy. To do this, change the value for the SSNM= parameter in the CA-L-Serv startup procedure.
