Specifying Servers, Nodes and Ports

By default, when you run MFDAS from the command line it uses the server, node, and port most recently specified by the Drag and Drop interface. However, you can specify different settings to be used by the MFDAS command line by setting the MFA_SERVER_PARMS environment variable before running mfdas.exe. The format of this environment variable is as follows:

SET MFA_SERVER_PARMS=MFSRV:name,MFNODE:node,MFPORT:portnum

where:

name: This is the name of the server to use. The example below specifies a server called MVSSRV.
node: This is the URL or IP address to use. The example below specifies a URL of MVS.SERVER.COM.
portnum: This is the port number to use. The example below specifies port number 6000.

Example:

SET MFA_SERVER_PARMS=MFSRV:MVSSRV,MFNODE:MVS.SERVER.COM,MFPORT:6000
