How to Set a Preferred Medium for VCF Communication

You can use a combination of XCF and CTC paths at any given time when you use the default value of COMPATLEVEL=12.0.

Set your medium for VCF as follows:

• Display the available VCF paths using the following command:

  DISPLAY PATH
  

• Before you start CA MIM:

  Specify the preferred medium for the VCF communication on the MIMINIT member using the following statement:

  MIMINIT VCFPREFERENCE statement
  

• While CA MIM is executing:

  Change the VCFPREFERENCE using the following command:

  SETOPT VCFPREFERENCE
  

  Note: VCFPREFERENCE is enforced when CA MIM initiates the VCF communication from a client system to the master system. Setting VCFPREFERENCE has no immediate effect on the master system.

If CA MIM currently uses the VCF communication, it automatically selects a path according to the current VCFPREFERENCE setting. However, if a path of the preferred medium is not available, CA MIM uses any available path.

Note: See the Statement and Command Reference Guide for more information about VCFPREFERENCE.
