CA Datacom/AD DBSIDPR Values for CA 7

The DBSIDPR module provides information that is needed for applications using CA Datacom/AD, such as CA 7, to connect to the correct CA Datacom/AD started task (MUF). DBSIDPR also provides processing options for handling that connection.

We recommend the following settings:

DELAY68 and DELAY85

The DELAY68 and DELAY85 options determine how connection attempts are handled when the CA Datacom/AD MUF is not available. We recommend setting both of these values to 0 (zero) to let CA 7 manage the connection attempts. Setting these options to non-zero values sometimes delays certain CA 7 functions, such as a shutdown.

CONNECT_ALLOW_PRIORITY

CONNECT_ALLOW_PRIORITY determines what communication methods are used to connect with the MUF. We recommend specifying (LOCAL,XCF) to try local (cross-memory) first, then XCF.

TARGET_MUF_LIST

TARGET_MUF_LIST specifies the name of the MUF to which we are trying to connect. Use the same value from the CXXNAME keyword.

TOGROUP

TOGROUP identifies the name of the XCF group to use for communication with the MUF. The CXXNAME, which is unique in the SYSPLEX, is a good value to use.

Assemble DBSIDPR values, including changes for DELAY68, DELAY85, XCF access, TOGROUP, CONNECT_ALLOW_PRIORITY, and the TARGET MUF LIST. The DBSIDPR assembly and link are steps in the CA Datacom/AD INSTJCL(AXCUS01) member. You must replace the 7CHAR_CXX_NAME shown in the following sample with your choice of a seven character long CXXNAME that is unique to each MUF in your environment. Coordinate the values with other products using this CA Datacom/AD MUF:
