Session Control Parameters

XCOM.SES is a file used by the XCOMD CA XCOM Scheduler service to control the maximum number of sessions available for locally initiated queued transfers for each remote system. When CA XCOM Data Transport is installed, the XCOM.SES file is placed in the directory $XCOM_HOME/config by default where $XCOM_HOME is an environment variable.

You can set a maximum number of partners that can be described in this file by specifying a number in the MAX_SESSIONS_ENTRIES global parameter. For example, if you specify MAX_SESSIONS_ENTRIES=50, you can have up to 50 lines in this file, each one specifying the name of the remote system.

You limit the number of sessions available for CA XCOM Data Transport transfers by setting a parameter in the xcom.ses file for each connection to the remote CA XCOM Data Transport partner. If a session is not available for immediate use, the transfer is queued for subsequent execution.

To specify a remote system, as indicated in the example in this section, replace connection_profile with the destination address or name specified by the user in the remote system parameter (REMOTE_SYSTEM, REMOTE_SYSTEM_RF, REMOTE_SYSTEM_SJ, or REMOTE_SYSTEM_SR).

Note: CA XCOM Data Transport reserves memory for information about the number of sessions for each destination based upon the connection_profile entries in this file.
