Global General Parameters
A global general parameter is all instances of this parameter. It may be for this
component, for the class as a whole (if component is blank), or for any class (if both
class and component are blank). All value sets found by the following generic key
searches are returned:
Parameter Retrieval Library Services
In the context of an I process, the frame performs the following steps in its startup
procedure:
1. The frame calls _STARTUP^MODE.
_STARTUP^MODE is a user-written procedure that provides the frame with:
•
The COMPONENT name for configuration parameter retrieval searches. The
component name is usually the name of the subsystem the I process handles.
For I processes that handle more than one subsystem (such as the SCP I process)
the component name is an arbitrary name chosen by the developer of the process
(for example, COMM is the component name for the SCP I process).
•
A value indicating whether the I process is running in test mode or production
mode.
•
A value indicating whether a COMPONENT value in the startup message
should be accepted as an overriding value.
2. The frame then calls a frame procedure which:
•
Opens $RECEIVE.
•
Reads the startup message.
•
Reads $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.DSNM (if indicated).
•
Opens the appropriate configuration file.
