Remote Section

This section contains an alphabetic list of the Remote System attributes. The list includes a description of each attribute, its valid values, and the CA Vtape features it supports.

Observe the following:

• Values in the Valid Values enclosed in quotes must be entered with quotes. For example: DsnameLocalVCAT='CAVTAPE.SYS1.VCAT'
• Values in the Valid Values enclosed in parentheses must be entered with parentheses. For example: RoutingCodeCritical=(1,7,9)
• All of the attributes in this list are optional. If commented out or not coded, the documented default will be used.
• Attributes in this section are only loaded when CA Vtape is started. A change to any of these attributes will not take effect until CA Vtape is stopped and started.

ConsoleSuffix=

Specifies the four character string which is used to route normal SVTS commands to remote SVTS subsystems. A local command such as SVTS HELP can be routed to a RemoteSystem by specifying the console suffix in the command:

SVTS.Sxnn HELP 

The console suffix must be 4 characters which uniquely identifies a remote system.

The operator command SVTS D P, displays the remote console suffix. We suggest making the ConsoleSuffix a combination of the SYSTEMID and the CA Vtape subsystem ID.

For example consider a naming convention such as Sxnn:

Where:

X

Equals the CA Vtape subsystem id, that is, 1..8.

nn

Equals the system identifier.

For example:

• S7SA might indicate SVT7 running on SYSA
• S101 might indicate SVT1 running on SYS01
• S3T1 might indicate SVT3 running on TEST1

Valid Values: 4 character name

Section: <RemoteSystem>

Feature: PeerToPeer

IPaddress=

Defines the TCP/IP address of the RemoteSystem's P2P Listener. This address is used to establish outbound and validate inbound connections with the RemoteSystem.

Outbound connections are those connections initiated by the local system when it needs to communicate with the RemoteSystem.

Inbound connections are those connection initiated by the Remote system when it needs to communicate with the local system.

Valid Values: 1 to 48 character RemoteSystem TCP/IP address

Section: <RemoteSystem>

Feature: PeerToPeer

Port=

Defines the TCP/IP port number of the RemoteSystem's P2P Listener. This address is used to establish outbound and validate inbound connections with the RemoteSystem.

Valid Values: 1 to 48 character RemoteSystem TCP/IP address

Section: <RemoteSystem>

Feature: PeerToPeer

RecvTimeOut=

Defines the maximum number of minutes to wait for a remote response. If the remote system does not respond to a request within this value then the connection is closed and the transaction is terminated.

This prevents CA Vtape from becoming non-responsive due to a communications failure or non-responsive RemoteSystem.

Valid Values: 1 to 1440

Default: 5
