ASAP 3.2 Server Manual

HP NonStop ASAP Server Manual Page 59 of 381
Any system with an active ASAP database should have a properly configured
ASAPCONF file in the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM location, in addition to any user
configuration files located on other subvolumes. When the CI cannot locate the
ASAPCONF file, ASAP uses the default values you define with the SET command
(see the SET Command).
ASAP searches the current default subvolume, then $SYSTEM.SYSTEM for the
configuration file. If ASAP does not find the ASAPCONF file, the four most important
values to specify from the ASAP CI and to use when creating the ASAPCONF file are:
 The SET DB command for defining a location for ASAP database files
 The VOLUME command for defining the location of the ASAP object file locations
 The SET RATE command for defining the availability sample rate interval
 The SET RETAIN command for defining the database maintenance option
This example creates a new configuration file named
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPCONF. If you used the ASPSETUP Full Install on this node,
the ASAPCONF can be found on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.
1 >COMMENT Create and setup the ASAPCONF file.
2 >EDIT $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPCONF; ADD
CURRENT FILE IS $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ASAPCONF
1 SET DB $DATA.ASAPDB.DB !Set database name
2 VOLUME $DATA.ASAPDB !Set ASAP subvolume
3 SET RATE 5 !Set sample interval
4 SET RETAIN NONE !Set cleanup option
3 >FUP SECURE $SYSTEM>SYSTEM.ASAPCONF, “Nxxx“
After confirming the settings in the ASAPCONF file, you can run ASAP on your
system.
You can use the ASAP configuration wizard, ASAPWIZ, as an alternative to manually
creating an ASAPCONF file. To use the configuration wizard, change your volume to
the ASAP installation subvolume and type RUN ASAPWIZ. The wizard determines the
latest copy of ASAP installed on your system and prompts you with specific questions
to properly configure ASAP in your environment.
