Define CIA Real-Time Component Options

You can use a set of CIA real-time component options to control execution of the CIA real-time component. Because they are optional and should be set only if directed by CA technical support, you can follow these steps and establish the options member for when it may be needed, or you can bypass the definition of options completely.

To define CIA real-time component options

1. Copy data set member CIAPARMS in CAI.CAK0JCL0 into the procedure or parameter library that is designated according to your installation standards. This member could be SYS1.PARMLIB, SYS1.PROCLIB, or another library that your installation uses.

   CIAPARMS is an optional data set member and contains the options used to control the start up and execution of the CIA real-time component.

2. Edit data set member CIAPARMS to modify the CIA real-time component options to conform to your installation standards. Begin each option in column one. An asterisk in column one denotes a comment.

   The CIAPARMS DD statement in the CIARTUPD started task procedure JCL must point to this data set member.

Sample CIA Real-Time CIAPARMS Member

The following is a sample of how CIA real-time component options are specified in the CIAPARMS data set member:

CIA Real-Time Component Option Descriptions

The CIAPARMS member in CAI.CAKOJCL0 holds the options that control the startup and execution of the CIA real-time component. The following options are supported:

[GTRACE]

(Optional) Activates the general trace facility (GTF) option to write trace entries to the active trace file. This option requires GTF to be active for USRP entries with an ID of X'035'. If you do not specify a value for this option, GTF tracing will not be active at component initialization.

Note: We recommend not activating GTF tracing unless instructed to do so by CA Technical Support.

[TRACESIZE=262144|nnnnnnn]

(Optional) Specifies the size, in bytes, of the internal trace table. Any value entered not on a kilobyte boundary will be rounded to the next higher kilobyte. If you do not specify a value for this option, the default is used.

Range: 32768 to 1048576

Default: 262144 (256 Kilobytes)

Note: We recommend not specifying this option unless instructed to do so by CA Technical Support.
