Server server_name

The [Server server_name] section contains information describing a CA IDMS system. The Server server_name section can contain the following parameters:

AlternateTask=task_code

Identifies an alternate task defining the resource limits and timeout values for a session. The default is CASERVER. The task named must be defined as a task on the CA IDMS system generation TASK statement. For more information about resource limits for external user sessions, see the CA IDMS System Generation and CA IDMS System Operations guides.

Node=via_node_name

Specifies an intermediate node to route the connection to the target system. The system identified by via node must contain a RESOURCE table entry for the system identified by node name. Use this option when the system containing the tables to be accessed does not directly communicate with CAICCI.

Resource=node_name

Identifies the value of SYSTEMID as specified in the system generation parameters of the target system. If a node name is not specified, CA IDMS Server uses the first eight characters of server_name to identify the target system.

Version=0|1

Specifies the version of the CA IDMS Server mainframe component installed on the CA IDMS CV.

0—Indicates Version 4.2 or earlier.

1—Indicates Version 4.3 or later. This is the default setting.

Note: Version 4.3 or later of the CA IDMS Server mainframe component supports password encryption using a proprietary algorithm. When this option is set to 1, the password is encrypted prior to being transmitted over the network. This encryption process is not affected by any other encryption applied by technologies such as SSL. All currently supported releases of CA IDMS releases 14.0 SP4, 14.1 SP4 and all subsequent releases contain a Version 4.3 or later mainframe component and therefore support a setting of 1. For CA IDMS releases prior to 14.0 SP4, set this option to 0.
