Server Parameters

Table A-2 is a partial list of the SET SERVER PARAM values that are supported by

ViewPoint servers. You can use these values to modify your ViewPoint configuration.

The default values are shown in parentheses.

You can change server parameter values for a cold startup of ViewPoint by changing the

Pathway configuration file PATHDEFS. You add new server parameters or replace

existing server parameters in the PATHDEFS file and then cold start ViewPoint, as

described in Section 7, Installation, Configuration, and Startup

Default server parameter values need not be included in your PATHDEFS file, though

you can, if you choose, add parameters with default values for documentation. To

specify a nondefault value for a server parameter, you must add a SET SERVER

PARAM command to the appropriate server class. For example, to reposition the EMS

event distributor to collect events sent while the ViewPoint application is stopped

temporarily, enter the following command for the ZVPT-EVNT-COLL server class:

SET SERVER PARAM REPOSITION "TRUE"

TANDEM-DETAIL (eventtd)

identifies the file containing Compaq-provided text for the probable cause and recommended

action for events.

Servers: ZVPT-EVNT-DETL

TERM-TO-TACL (termtacl)

identifies the file used during ViewPoint invocation to provide a mapping from the physical

terminal to the TACL server port name.

Servers: ZVPT-TACL-SWCH

TMF-SERVER ($system.system.tmfserve)

identifies the program file used during status collection to start the server process that

provides the TMF transaction rate.

Servers: ZVPT-STAT-COLL
