Configuring ASAPX
6. Start or restart ASAP. Use EMS to verify that all components start successfully:
ASAP START [\<node>]
7. Change application source code to use the ASAPX API procedures.
8. Point your applications to the ASAPX procedure library (ASAPXLIB) or the native
shared-runtime library (ASAPXSRL). Use the ?library or ?search compiler
directive, the LIB runtime parameter, or bind the library into your application object
file.
9. Determine and define objectives for application metrics using the COMMIT and
RANK commands in ASAP.
If you need to reinstall ASAPX later, switch to the volume ASAPX ISV and use the
RUN INSTALL command to invoke the installation macro again. This moves all of the
object files again but does not re-create ASAPXCNF if it already exists in the
destination subvolume.
Configuring ASAPX
The ASAPX Installer creates an example ASAPXCNF file the first time you install
ASAPX in a new destination subvolume. For information on how to configure each one
properly for your environment, see SET Commands on page 2-18.
AGGREGATE Turns on aggregation for an entity. The default is no aggregation.
COLLECTOR Turns on Write-to-Collector mode so each ASAPXMON writes
directly to the ASAP Collector. The default is normal mode.
CPUS The processors in which ASAPX will execute. The default is all
processors.
MAXDOMAINS Defines the maximum number of detail domains to be registered in a
processor.
MAXAGGREGATES Defines the maximum number of aggregate domains that ASAPX
can allocate in a processor.
OBJECT Location of the ASAPXMON object file. The default is
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPXMON.
PRIORITY Priority at which ASAPXMON processes execute. The default is 150.
SWAPVOLS Location of the extended memory segments ASAPX allocates on a
by-processor basis. The default is to allocate swap files for all
processors in $SYSTEM.ZASAPX.
TEST Time interval interpretation is set to rounded instead of exact values.
Testing is always OFF unless you turn it on with the TEST ON
command.
