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 specified at startup. By default, if no system name is specified at startup, CA-L-Serv uses the system SMF ID. It is strongly recommended that you use this default value. However, if you need to override the default system name, you can 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. Associated 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 same subsystem name.

Most 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.
