Sernet Keyword Options
This appendix describes keyword options that may be used with a Sernet started task.
General rules for Sernet keyword options:
-
Sernet keyword options may be input in any order.
-
The syntax for Sernet keyword options is flexible. Any of the following formats is acceptable:
keyword(value) keyword(value1,value2),...) keyword=value keyword=(value1,value2,...) -
To preserve lower-case characters in a keyword value, enclose the value in single or double quotes. Examples:
NTFYURL=’tt_server.serena.com:8080/zmfws/...’ NTFYURL="tt_server.serena.com:8080/zmfws/..."
When keyword options are coded in a file for input to a Sernet started task, these additional rules apply:
-
One or more keyword options may be coded in a single record.
-
Multiple keyword options are separated by spaces, commas, semicolons, or any combination of these.
-
A slash (/) or asterisk (*) marks the start of a comment, and the rest of the record is ignored.
apl
| Purpose | Starts a Sernet application and/or specifies a TCP/IP port number. |
| Application(s) | All |
| Format | apl[=port] |
| Valid Values | apl - CMN or ZMF: ChangeMan ZMF and ChangeMan SSM - SYN or SSM: ChangeMan ZMF Client Pack - XCH or CLP: ChangeMan ZDD or ChangeMan ZMF for Eclipse port: Number between 1024 and 65535. These apl values require a port number: - XCH or CLP If port number is not specified, cross memory services are used instead of TCP/IP. Do not use the same port number for multiple applications. |
| Default Value | There is no default value for apl. If port number is not specified, cross memory services are used. |
| When Required | Always |
| Comments | Formats from previous versions of Sernet are compatible, but APPC application name is ignored. apl=([APPCaplname],port) |
| Examples | CMN= or ZMF= 6000: Starts ChangeMan ZMF with port 6000 CMN or ZMF: Starts ChangeMan ZMF using cross-memory services only |
| SYN or SSM: Starts ChangeMan SSM XCH= or CLP=5000: Starts ChangeMan ZMF Client Pack (ChangeMan ZDD or ChangeMan ZMF for Eclipse) with port 5000 |
...
ALREPORTPROC
| Purpose | Specifies an override to the default name of the monthly activity reporting process. |
| Application(s) | ChangeMan ZMF |
| Format | ALREPORTPROC=(procname) where procname is the name of the desired reporting proc. |
| Valid Values | Any valid proc name |
| Default Value | Omitting this parameter is the same as ALREPORTPROC=(SERALREP) |
| Comments | The ZMF instance will attempt to start this proc just after midnight on the first day of each month. Note the proc has an include (SERSORT) which must be available for JES to find. Output goes to the dataset allocated under the SERPRINT ddname, a PDS/PDSE which must be preallocated with RECFM=FBA,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0. Note also the space requirements - there will be 1 member of this PDS for each month so set aside 1 track for the directory by setting it to 45, 10 cylinders should be able to hold a decade's worth of activity records. If successful then the activity log is cleared and therefore will only hold a maximum of one months activity data. Member names in output are of the form #yyyymmx where # is constant, yyyy is the year, mm is the month, and x is the subsystem ID. |
...
ASID
| Purpose | Specifies an override to the default maximum number of concurrent address spaces and time-out minutes. |
| Application(s) | ChangeMan ZMF |
| Format | ASID=(n,m) where:n Maximum number of concurrent address spacesm Time-out in wall clock minutes |
| Valid Values | n Numeric, maximum 256 concurrent address spaces m Numeric, maximum 255 wall clock minutes |
| Default Value | Omitting this parameter is the same as ASID=(16,20) |
| Comments | The maximum number of address spaces is checked when an application needs to start an address space for an asynchronous operation. An example of an asynchronous process that uses a separate address space is ChangeMan ZMF ISPF file tailoring for install JCL. |
| Sernet periodically checks the list of address spaces that it has started, and if an address space runs longer than the time-out limit, it is terminated. Such an address space may be in a loop or have some other problem, and it can prevent another address space from starting when the maximum number of address spaces is reached. | |
| The ASID time out limit is similar to the TIME parameter for an ordinary job except it is wall clock time, not CPU time. The elapsed run time for an address space is calculated as the difference between the store clock (STCK) value taken when the address space was created and the store clock value taken when the check is made. | |
| The maximum number of address spaces is 256, and the maximum number of time-out minutes is 255, but whatever you input is displayed in SERPRINT. If you enter a number of minutes greater than 255, a time-out limit of 255 is used, which is 4 hours 15 minutes. |
...
ASIDS4RECALL
| Purpose | Specifies the maximum number of address spaces that SerNet will create for the purpose of data set recalls. |
| Application(s) | ChangeMan ZMF |
| Format | ASIDS4RECALL=n where: n Number of address spaces. The valid range of values is 2-16. The default is 4. |
| Comments | You can use the ASIDS4R operator command to dynamically adjust the ASIDS4RECALL setting. See Appendix E, Modify Commands. The value that you specify for ASIDS4RECALL is independent of the ASID setting. |
ASINITi
| Purpose | For an initiator, specifies an override to the default maximum number of concurrent address spaces and the job classes assigned to an initiator. |
| Application(s) | ChangeMan ZMF |
| Format | ASINITi=(n,c) where: i Initiator number n Maximum number of concurrent address spaces that can be created c Job classes assigned to the initiator |
| Valid Values | n Numeric, maximum 256 concurrent address spaces |
| Default Value | |
| Comments | The address space limit is checked when an application needs to start an address space for an asynchronous operation. An example of an asynchronous process that uses a separate address space is ChangeMan ZMF ISPF file tailoring for install JCL. The maximum number of address spaces is 256, but whatever you input is displayed in SERPRINT. |
AUTOMESSENGER

| Valid Values | - NO: Do not append the Messenger JCL - YES: Append the Messenger JCL unless it is already present - NOTIFY: Append the Messenger JCL if a NOTIFY=userID parameter is found within the first four JOB statement images and the Messenger JCL is not already present. If these conditions are met, also comment out the NOTIFY=userID. |
| Default Value | Omitting this parameter is the same as AUTOMESSENGER=NO |
| When Required | |
| Comments | The Messenger JCL fragment is delivered in SERCOMC.CNTL($SERNTFY) on the Sernet distribution tape, and it is copied to a public PROCLIB. Treatment of JOB statement parameter NOTIFY=userID specified in the keyword parameter AUTOMESSENTER may be overridden by code in exit program SEREX002. The Messenger JCL fragment contains these statements: // EXEC $SERNTFY //* //* //* |
CCSID
| Purpose | Specifies the Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) of text data that is stored in the ChangeMan ZMF server for clients that send and receive UNICODE request and response messages. |
| Application(s) | ChangeMan ZMF |
| Format | CCSID(37) CCSID=37 |
| Valid Values | Any valid CCSID. The default is CCSID(37) which is US EBCDIC and should suffice for most customers. Japanese customers who use DBCS CCSID 00939 should specify CCSID=00939. |
| Default Value | CCSID(37) |
| When Required | When the ChangeMan ZMF server has been localized for a CCSID other than US EBCDIC |
| Comments | In ChangeMan ZMF, Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) data can be in three places: - Package title - Programmer name - Inside a component When clients such as TeamTrack send XML requests to the MVS server, they send UNICODE XML. The server on MVS converts the incoming XML to its local CCSID as specified in the CCSID startup parameter. When sending XML responses to the clients that sent UNICODE, the server converts the XML from its local CCSID to UNICODE. This process preserves any DBCS characters that may be contained in the XML. |

| Default Value | Omitting the keyword lets users run no matter how long their session is inactive |
| When Required | Use of this parameter to enable an automatic detach is recommended. |
| Comments | A ChangeMan ZMF edit-in-stage session using ISPF edit turns off the timer for TIMEOUT. The inactivity limit set with z/OS parameter JWT(0100) in SYS1.PARMLIB(SMFPRM00) takes precedence over TIMEOUT and will end your TSO session with ABEND=S522 even if you are in a ZMF edit-in-stage session. However, if your ZMF administrator sets application parameter EDIT STAGING RECOVERY MODE ON to YES, you can recover the temporary file containing your edited text. |
