MUF Startup Options

These MUF startup options are new for Version 12.

DYNAMIC_EXTEND_MSGS

Use the DYNAMIC_EXTEND_MSGS startup option and console-like command to select either r11-style dynamic extend messages (DB01701 and DB01703) or the new style messages for Version 12. If you have automated actions dependent on r11 message numbers and style, you can set those messages to print as in r11. The new message numbers and style in Version 12 provide more information. When using the new style, you can get the counts as cylinders (smaller numbers) or tracks. Any counts, however, that are not in full cylinders are always given in tracks.

LIMITED_INSTALL_MUF

The LIMITED_INSTALL_MUF startup option blocks options that can cause known conflicts. A normal MUF execution automatically performs many actions for efficiency and ease of use. However, there are times when some actions could be unwanted because of conflicts they could cause. For example, in an upgrade to a new release, LIMITED_INSTALL_MUF could be used to avoid conflicts and allow user actions that require a MUF to be enabled but not ready for production work. Normal startup activities include MUF requiring and automatically opening the temporary CBS index. However, if the CXX was renamed (INIT CXXNAME=) while MUF was down, a conflict could be caused if the CBS database is not VIRTUAL. LIMITED_INSTALL_MUF specified as YES could prevent that conflict by not automatically opening the CBS temporary index.

SQL_KATAKANA_CODE_PAGE

The SQL_KATAKANA_CODE_PAGE startup option and console-like command specifies which code-page CA Datacom should use to interpret any incoming Katakana characters in SQL statement syntax. This option is relevant only when Katakana language usage has been activated using the DBUTLTY CXXMAINT function and default code page 290 is incompatible with the terminals or software in use.

X_DUMP_SIP_ERROR

The X_DUMP_SIP_ERROR startup option is a debugging tool that is occasionally required to assist CA Support in the analysis of Multi-User startup option errors. Use X_DUMP_SIP_ERROR only if Technical Support requests it.

X_MSB_MSGS

Use the X_MSB_MSGS startup option and console-like command to monitor MUF activity for debugging purposes. You can set the option during the enabling of the MUF or at any time later using the console facility. Every MUF performs a check approximately every 2 minutes to validate users and set the Dynamic System Table MUF_RATES values for the previous 2 minutes. If the X_MSB_MSGS option is set to YES, additional processing issues zero to four messages, based on MUF activity.

X_RESTART_DETAIL

Use the X_RESTART_DETAIL startup option to change the way restart reprocessing works for this release as compared to the previous release. You can also use it to change what is reported in the restart reprocessing report.
