| <ASGROUP=ENDV>
|
Signals the beginning of the application server definition for Mainframe Access Endevor support. The group name must be ENDV.
Specify ENDV.
|
| ASPROC
|
The name of the started task JCL procedure that can be used to start address spaces for this group. Sample JCL procedure MFAAS
provides the basic JCL for an application server address space. Refer to the section
Endevor in the appendix
External Library Management Systems
to learn how to customize this JCL for Endevor support. Specify a JCL procedure name of up to eight characters.
|
| ASJOB
|
The jobname prefix to be used for address spaces that are started for this group. For multiple-instance address spaces this
is a prefix of 1 to 4 characters and Mainframe Access Server will pad this prefix to a full 8-character jobname by appending
a 4 to 7 digit sequence number. For example, ASJOB=MFAE will result in jobnames MFAE0001, MFAE0002, etc. Endevor support multiple-instance
address spaces to allow concurrent execution of client requests. The sample prefix MFAE can be changed to meet the needs of
your installation. If you do change the suggested prefix you will need to review the security subsystem definition for the
Mainframe Access started tasks. The configuration process uses a generic STARTED task definition (the generic name specified
during Quick Configuration is MFA*.*) that covers generated jobnames such as MFAExxxx, in addition to the MFA (the MFA Server
control region) and MFAS (the MFA Server for Data Connect) started task names. Specify a jobname prefix of up to four characters.
|
| ASSERVER
|
Specifies the name of the processing module for requests sent to the application server. Specify DACALL.
|
| ASMINIMUM
|
Specifies the minimum number of address spaces that Mainframe Access server will start for a multiple-instance group during
initialization. Specifying zero delays address space activation until the first client request is received. Specify a minimum
value from zero up to the ASMAXIMUM value.
|
| ASMAXIMUM
|
Specifies the maximum number of address spaces that Mainframe Access server will start for a multiple-instance group. Additional
address spaces beyond the minimum will be started in response to transaction load, up to the maximum allowed by this specification.
Endevor support can effectively utilize multiple address spaces to meet the concurrency requirement demanded by your transaction
arrival rate. The sample suggests an initial value of 2 and this can be increased as your transaction load increases. Mainframe
Access server issues messages (to the XDBOUT data set) when a client request must be queued to wait for an available processing
address space. Increase the ASMAXIMUM value (by 1) when you observe frequent queueing of client requests. Specify a value
from 1 to 10.
|
| ASGROUP
|
Specifies a numeric ID that can be used in client requests to identify this application server group. The Mainframe Access
Endevor clients do not use the ASGROUP ID feature. Specify 0.
|
| <END>
|
Signals the end of this application server definition.
