Sample Configuration File

A sample configuration file is provided in the CBY3OPTN file, member name CAHFDCFG. A definition of each of the generic statements is provided in the next section. For setting the product-specific statements, see the section that contains information about the product you are using.

Standard CAHFDCFG Control Statements

These generic control statements are required for all products.

SET SERVER

The Server ID acts as a main identifier for the server on the network. All servers within a given network must have unique IDs. In this example, the SERVER ID has been defined as DRASSVR. The value defined in the Server ID field has no correlation to any other system identifier. It is a user-defined field with a maximum length of 8 bytes.

SET THREADS

The value defined in the THREADS parameter determines how many concurrent tasks are started to process work in the CA DRAS region. This is a tuning parameter, and increasing the count can improve server throughput if excessive delays are observed. Increasing this count cannot necessarily improve the throughput if the value has already been increased to the optimum setting for your system and workload. If performance improvement cannot be obtained by increasing the value in this field, contact your local technical support center for further assistance. The default is 12.

SET LANGUAGE

The language parameter specifies that data are generated in the chosen language.

SET CLIENT TYPE

Indicates the operating system of the client software. The default value of (WINDOWS) must be used.

SET CLIENT TRANSLATION

This setting tells the DRAS server how the EBCDIC to/from ASCII code page translation is performed.

ON (the default setting) indicates:

OFF indicates:

SET LONGWAIT

Indicates the number of minutes a user can be inactive before a session time-out occurs.

SET MESSAGE SUPP

Specifies the level of messages written to the DRAS log. If message suppression is ON, informational messages are not written to the log.

For definitions of the Message and Access Repository Name control statements for your particular product, see one of the following:

Note: The SET MESSAGE DEST control statement is obsolete and must NOT appear in the configuration file. CA DRAS does not start if it finds this statement.

Configuring CA DRAS for CA View

The following section provides the information to configure CA DRAS for cooperative viewing from a CA View Report Repository.

Modify BY3CJST for CA View

The following JCL has been customized for CA View.

Note: If CA Deliver is in use at your site and has been installed in a separate load library, it is necessary to add that library into your STEPLIB DD concatenation for CA DRAS. CA View needs access to CA Deliver load modules.
