Distributed Configuration Parameters

CA SYSVIEW distributes user modifiable parameters. To override or alter the distributed parameters, use the Config Client or update the VKGPARMS parmlib member in the Vantage parmlib data set.

F gmiaddr,SYSVIEW Command—Modify the Component Task

The following are the distributed parameters and their defaults:

SVSRVJOB

Specifies the name of the CA SYSVIEW user interface address space with which the CA GMI address space communicates. Only specify SVSRVJOB when running multiple CA SYSVIEW user interfaces and you want to connect to a specific jobname.

Default: Blank. The CA SYSVIEW component of GMI discovers the local CA SYSVIEW user interface address space. CA SYSVIEW uses the first discovered interface when you are running multiple interfaces.

SVSRVSYS

Specifies the CAICCI system name where the CA SYSVIEW user interface address space is located.

Default: Blank. The CA SYSVIEW component of GMI discovers the local CA SYSVIEW user interface address space.

Note: If you point to a CA SYSVIEW user interface on an alternate system, the SYSLOG and OUTPUT commands only work if the GMI system and the remote CA SYSVIEW user interface system are in a JES2 shared spool configuration.

SYINTVL

Specifies the interval time in seconds that the CA SYSVIEW component of GMI verifies the status of the CA SYSVIEW user interface server. The interface is checked each interval. If the user interface is not available, GMI issues a message during each interval until the user interface becomes available.

During GMI and CA SYSVIEW component initialization, the CA SYSVIEW user interface must be available to define the CA SYSVIEW objects. If the CA SYSVIEW user interface address space is not available during initialization, the CA SYSVIEW component under GMI checks for its availability each interval. When it becomes available, the component defines the CA SYSVIEW objects at that time. After initialization, the component uses this interval to verify the status of the CA SYSVIEW user interface. The component issues a message when the interface is no longer available.

Default: 120

Minimum: 30

Maximum: 600

SVTIMOUT

Specifies the time in seconds the communication code waits for a response from the CA SYSVIEW user interface address space before timing out the request.

Default: 30

Minimum: 30

Maximum: 120

SVOVRINF

Controls whether to include CA SYSVIEW Overview information in the information area of the user interface.

Note: Overview information is not available for the SYSLOG and OUTPUT objects.

Valid Values:

Default: N

The following are the distributed debugging parameters and their defaults:

SVDBGREX

Turns on REXX debugging, which generates messages that can be used for debugging the CA SYSVIEW component.

Only specify a value of Y when directed by CA Technical Support.

Valid Values:
Default: N
SVDEBUG

Specifies the debugging level to generate messages that can be used for debugging the CA SYSVIEW component.

Only specify a value other than zero when directed by CA Technical Support.

Valid Values: Zero through five

Default: Zero (0)

SVEXTSEC

The SVEXTSEC parameter only governs the RACROUTE CLASS name that is used. The name does not have to match the actual security product that is installed.

Specifies the external security product:

If the Vantage/GMI parameter SECURSCR is set to Y, the user ID of the user that creates a script is saved. When Vantage/GMI executes a script, the Vantage/GMI address space must have the authority to change the security context of the corresponding user session.

The CA SYSVIEW API does a RACROUTE call to validate that the Vantage/GMI address space user ID is authorized based on the following:

SVEXTSEC  RACROUTE  RACROUTE
Value     Class     Entity (Resource Name)
--------  --------  -------------------------------------
RACF      FACILITY  SV.XAPI.ALTUSER.ccisyst.ssid.jobname
TOPS      CAGSVX    SV.XAPI.ALTUSER.ccisyst.ssid.jobname
ACF2      SYSVIEW   SV.XAPI.ALTUSER.ccisyst.ssid.jobname
ccisyst

The CAICCI system name of the system where the SYSVIEW user address space is running. The default configuration is that CA GMI and CA SYSVIEW are on the same system, so ccisyst would be the local CAICCI.

ssid

The subsystem name for SYSVIEW on the ccisyst system.

jobname

The job name of the SYSVIEW user address space.

SVLOGLVL

Specifies the API debugging level, which generates messages that can be used for debugging the CA SYSVIEW component.

Only specify a value other than four when directed by CA Technical Support.

Valid Values: One through seven

Default: Four
