Changing CAISDI/med SERVER Statement Specifications

To change values that are associated with a given CAISDI/med SERVER statement, issue the following command:

MODIFY CASDIMED,SET SERVER name keyword=value

The SET SERVER statement identifies that a given SERVER is being changed and name identifies the specific SERVER statement. The values to be changed are defined as keyword=value.

The following is an example of the SET SERVER command:

SET SERVER USDSRV01,
    HOSTNAME=XYZHOST1,
    TIMEOUT=30,
   URL_SYMBO>=WS2

For example, to change the CAISDI/soap server Service time-out value for a SERVER named, USDSRV01, issue the following command:

MODIFY CASDIMED,SET SERVER USDSRV01 TIMEOUT=60

The SET SERVER command lets you alter selected specification for an existing CAISDI/med server interface task. Any dynamic changes are reflected as long as the CAISDI/med address space remains active. To make permanent specification changes, update the appropriate SERVER initialization statements in the MEDPARMS data set.

Note: Changing the specifications of a CAISDI/med server interface task causes it to automatically disconnect from its current associated CA Service Desk server and immediately attempt to connect using the altered specifications.

Use this syntax for the SET SERVER command:

SET SERVER server_name
    HOSTNAME=name
    TIMEOUT=seconds
    URL_SYMBOL=name

SERVER

This positional parameter indicates that a CAISDI/med server interface task specification is to be altered.

server_name

This positional parameter is the name of the target CAISDI/med server interface task specifications to be altered. You can use the DISPLAY SERVERS command to obtain a list of the CAISDI/med server names.

HOSTNAME

This keyword parameter defines the CAICCI host name where the CA SOAP Client Service address space is executing.

TIMEOUT

This keyword parameter defines the number of seconds the CA SOAP Client Service address space waits for a response from the CA Service Desk Web service before returning a timeout condition.

The time-out value can be a number between 10 seconds and 3600 seconds.

URL_SYMBOL

(Optional) Used to identify the CA Service Desk server on which you want the tickets opened. If omitted, the SD_URL value from the CAISDI/soap server address space's Environmental Variables is used. You can select an alternate CA Service Desk server by assigning a “symbol” to URL_SYMBOL where URL_symbol is a defined Environmental Variable in the CAISDI/soap server and where its value is a URL identifying the CA Service Desk server. For example, if “URL_SYMBOL=WS2” then Environmental Variable “URL_WS2” must be defined to the CAISDI/soap server with a value which is the URL for the CA Service Desk server. See the CASOAPE Environmental Variables.

The following is an example of the SET SERVER command:

SET SERVER USDSRV01,
    HOSTNAME=XYZHOST1,
    TIMEOUT=30,
    URL_SYMBOL=WS2

Also consider the following example:
