Enterprise Server Communications Environment Variables

Environment variables for configuring the input and output and the display.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the Enterprise Server feature is enabled.
CCITCP2
Instead of using the CCI Configuration Utility to set the TCP address of the machine running the CCITCP2 registration daemon the environment variable "CCITCP2" can be used instead. This may be useful if you need different processes on the same machine to contact different registration daemons.

Syntax

set CCITCP2=hostname

Parameters

hostname is the TCP hostname or dotted decimal IP address of the machine running the CCITCP2 daemon you wish to contact from that session.

Comments

The environment variable value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility. To restore a process to using the value set by the Configuration Utility simply set the environment variable to an empty string, such as

set CCITCP2=

Alternatively, if this environment variable is set system-wide (by creating a system variable in the system environment settings, or by using a CONFIG.SYS file) then this value will always take precedence over any value set using the Configuration Utility.

CCITCP2_PORT
The port that is being used for the registration process.

Syntax

set CCITCP2_PORT=port
Parameters
  • port The port on which the CCITCP2 registration program operates.
CCITRACE
Part of the process to enable CCI tracing is to specify the degree of information that will be traced, which can be done by setting the CCITRACE environment variable as follows:

Syntax

CCITRACE=filename [options]
Parameters
  • filename The name of the log file you want the trace output to go to. If you do not specify this parameter, the log file ccitrace.log is created in the current directory with all options set to their default states.
  • options Any, or all, of the following:
/F or -F logs the details of CCI API calls to the trace file. The default is OFF, unless a filename any other trace option is specified, in which case it is always ON.
/P or -P logs the details of protocol-level calls to the trace file. The default is OFF. If this flag is OFF, then only the details of the CCI user-level API will be traced. If this flag is ON, the level of function tracing may be greatly increased.
/D or -D logs the contents of all buffers passed to and from the CCI functions. The default is OFF. Data tracing may not be allowed if the application has been coded to prohibit data tracing for security reasons.

So to create a CCI trace file with the default name of ccitrc1.trc (with matching ccitrc1.idx file) which traces CCI API function flow, along with the underlying protocol function flow, but with no tracing of the user data passed to these calls, the value of the CCITRACE environment variable would be /P.

The CCI.INI file can also be used to control trace options, but any values specified by the CCITRACE environment variable will take precedence.

ES_CAS_API
Indicates whether casout or cassub has been executed by a call and not from the command line.
ES_CONSOLE_LOG
Sends console messages to the Windows Event Log.
ES_CSKL_NO_MSG_CONSOLE
Stops CSKL writing messages to console.log.
ES_ESMAC_DISP_MAX_OVERRIDE
The number of items displayed in the ESMAC catalog view or lines displayed in a SYSOUT file from the job list view.
ES_LEGACY_ECI
Indicates that Enterprise Server must use Micro Focus ECI instead of IBM CTG.
ES_MAX_CATALOG_LINES
Restricts the number of entries displayed in ESMAC catalog view, and the default is 5000.
ES_MEM_STRATEGY
Selects the types of memory processes supported.
ES_OTMA_TIMEOUT
The time that an OTMA client should wait for an answer.
ES_SEP_DORMANT_TIME
Allows override of Transient SEP dormant time.
ES_SERVER
Server name (used if no -r switch is specified on casstart or casstop).
ES_SYSOUT_HOLD
The status of the SYSOUT files are set to Out Hold.
ES_USR_DFLT_ESMAC
Allows you to override the default user when no user is logged on for ESMAC authentication.
ES_ESM_DISABLE_DFLTUSER_ESMAC
Allows you to disable the default ESMAC user in order to increase the security of your server. Disables the DEFAULT button on the logon screen and forces users to always enter a valid userid and password.
ES_WS_RUNAWAY_TIMEOUT
Time in seconds that the client will wait for a response from the web service. Valid values are 0 to 65535 seconds.
ISPPROF
The location of ISPF dialog profiles.
JAVA_HOME
Specifies the location of the JDK.
MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT
Specifies the format to use for floating point data items. Possible formats are IBM hexadecimal and IEEE.

Syntax

SET MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT=fpstatus

Parameters

fpstatus Which format to use for floating point data items. This must be one of:

  • true Specifies that IBM hexadecimal format floating point data items are to be used.
  • false Specifies that IEEE format floating point data items are to be used.

Setting MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT to anything other than true has the same effect as setting it to false.

The setting of this environment variable can be overridden by the NATIVE-FLOATING-POINT directive.

MF_AMODE31ONLY
Indicates that all programs are AMODE(31).
MF_CHARSET
Specifies the system character set (ASCII or EBCDIC).
MF_USESCA5
Specifies that the server should use version 5 of the Open Service Component Architecture.
Values:
  • ON (Default)
  • OFF
MFCODESET
Specifies which translation tables to use.
Values
  • On UNIX platforms (requires ):A pre-defined country code:
    Important: To specify a Euro codeset, meaning that it includes the Euro symbol (€), prefix an "E" to the appropriate country code listed below. A country code with no "E" prefix indicates a non-Euro code.

    Character sets marked with an asterisk (*) are capable of mixed single-byte and double-byte character conversion. EBCDIC CCSIDs in these rows indicate the mixed-byte CCSID first, followed by the single-byte, then double-byte Code Page Global Identifiers (CPGIDs) in parenthesis.

    Other EBCDIC CCSIDs in parentheses reflect a 'non-Euro, Euro' pair for appropriate country codes.

    For database applications using a DBMS server on Windows, use the table above.

    For Windows and UNIX database applications accessing a UNIX database created with single-byte character sets 819 or 923, use the following table:

If you are not using UK or US language settings, you must also set the codepage in your PC environment settings:

  • Right click My Computer.
  • Select Properties.
  • Click Advanced system settings.
  • Click Environment Variables.
  • Under System Variables click New.
  • Enter MFCODESET as Variable name and XXXX as Variable value, where XXXX is your chosen codepage.
MFCSCFG
Specifies a configuration file to be used by the Client/Server Binding client program.

Syntax

SET MFCSCFG=filename

Parameters

filename The name of the configuration file.

Example

SET MFCSCFG=/home/mydir/mfclisrv.cfg

Comments

The value of MFCSCFG is overridden by any value defined in the command line. If neither of the above yields a filename, the default filename mfclisrv.cfg is assumed, and is searched for in the current directory. If that in turn is not found, the default settings for the configuration entries are used.

MFEXTMAP
Location of a mapper file.
MFLOGDIR
Specifies a directory to be used by Client/Server Binding for log files.

Syntax

SET MFLOGDIR=dirname

Parameters

dirname The name of the directory for log files.

Example

SET MFLOGDIR=/home/mydir/logs

Specifies a configuration file for Language Environment (LE) runtime options.

Syntax

SET MFLECONFIG=filename

Parameters

filename The file containing the LE runtime options you want to use.

MFPRELOAD_USE
Calls MFPRELOAD to improve perfomance.
