AMS Application Server Parameters

PROCEDURE
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, and MFAAMS for the AMS application server address space. Specify a JCL procedure name of up to eight characters.
JOBNAME
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, JOBNAME="MFAE" will result in jobnames MFAE0001, MFAE0002, etc. 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.
MAXIMUM
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. 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 MAXIMUM value (by 1) when you observe frequent queueing of client requests.
MINIMUM
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.
