HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition Mainframe Agent Installation and Configuration Guide (TK981-96005, May 2014)

• In the PREFIX parameter, do not specify any value other than the prefix of the configuration

file. If multiple datasets correspond to the specified prefix (such as the SYS1 prefix), XP7

mainframe agent processing might slow down.

• Do not specify multiple PREFIX parameters for the same prefix. The monitoring processing

of Device Manager or Replication Manager might slow down.

• If you specify multiple PREFIX parameters, it will take time to switch the configuration files

for each prefix during a Replication Manager request. Therefore, if there are many configur-

ation files, we recommend that you aggregate prefixes in the configuration files so that there

is only one PREFIX parameter, to shorten the access time for a request from or a response

to Replication Manager.

• Do not edit the configuration file for the prefix specified for the PREFIX parameter, as this

might cause display issues or errors with the XP7 mainframe agent configuration file information

in Replication Manager.

• The access time for a Replication Manager request or response becomes longer according to

the number of copy pairs defined in the copy group definition file that has the specified prefix.

Therefore, specify the monitoring interval of Replication Manager to fit the environment (the

host capability corresponding to the number of copy pairs).

DEVN(start-device-number,end-device-number) ~ <4 hexadecimal characters>

Specifies a range of devices from which to collect information when filtering the host volume in-

formation to be passed to Device Manager or Replication Manager. Specify the start-device-

number and end-device-number in the ascending order of hexadecimal characters. If the

DEVN parameter has not been specified before, DEVN(0000,FFFF) is assumed.

Notes about Specifying the DEVN Parameter

• To reduce the access time required for requests and replies from Device Manager or Replication

Manager, we recommend that you specify a range of target devices from which information

is collected.

• When you specify more than one DEVN parameter, even if there are duplicate devices, they

are not eliminated, so make sure you avoid specifying such duplications.

LOGLEVEL(output-level) ~ <numeric character> ((0-2)) <<2>>

Specifies the log output level.

Logs are not output. If 0 is specified, it is difficult to determine the cause of a communication

failure or an error that occurs during execution of an XP7 mainframe agent command.

Communication-related messages (YKY300I, YKY301I, YKY304I, and YKY307I) are output.

In addition to the messages that are output when LOGLEVEL(1) is specified, a YKY680I

message indicating an error during execution of an XP7 mainframe agent command is output.

The following table shows the LOGLEVEL specification and the messages that are output.
