Set Server Parameters

To set parameters for the usage of the Server, use the online dialog shown below:

Using this dialog, you can define all parameters necessary to complete the installation and fine tune the Server.

From the Main Menu, select the Parameters option to display the Parameters Menu.

On the Parameters Menu, select option S1 to display the Server General Parameters panel shown following.

Use this panel to define general parameters for the Server.

Field Name	Description
DSN of the library for the dynamic JES/SMF user exits or “LNKLST"	Enter the data set name of the library for the dynamic JES/SMF user exits. The value you define must be a valid data set name or special keyword “LNKLST”. The default is LNKLST which means that LINKLIST/LPA/STEPLIB is used to locate the Server exit routines. Customization of this field is only required when one of the following statements is true: During evaluation of the Server, you do not want to add the authorized library CAMAT.PMA.CEETAUTH, to the LINKLIST concatenation to prevent an IPL. Quickfetch or PMO is being used and the Dynamic Exits Facility of MVS cannot locate exit routines in the LINKLIST concatenation. To instruct the Dynamic Exits Facility not to search the LINKLIST for the Server required exit routines, change the default parameter, LNKLST, to the name of the authorized library CAMAT.PMA.CEETAUTH.
Calling Position of user-exits	Define the order that the Server requests that its dynamic exits are called by exit processing services, as follows: FIRST (recommended) - requests that the exits are called before any other exits are called SYSTEM - specifies that the exits can be called in any order relative to other exists in the system LAST - requests that the exits are called after any other exits FIRST is recommended because some other exits might not follow the SMF guidelines, which can result in lost/corrupt data or the blocking of calls to the exits that should follow them. The exits do follow the guidelines and execute only a few instructions; therefore, they are ideal candidates for being called first.
Additional 8 Subsystem IDs for relevant jobs to watch	Enter up to 8 additional subsystems in which other jobs or Servers should be observed.
Alert refresh interval	Enter the alert refresh interval in minutes. The Server waits this number of minutes before obtaining new alerts from the alert file. The default is 60 minutes.
SERVER runtime interval	Enter the Server runtime interval in hours. The default is 24 hours.
Monitor retry limit	Define the number of times that the Server will retry an unsuccessful start measurement command to the measurement monitor program.
Internal reader class to submit job APCYJLNA by the STC	Define the internal reader class to be used by the Server when submitting job APCYJLNA. This value must be a valid installation-defined character. The default is A.
MSG level for SERVER log	Enter a valid message level class for the Server log. The value must be 0, 1, 2, or 3. The default is 3 to output all messages.
