New Features
EMS FastStart has the following new features:
•
The token ZEMS-TKN-SUPPRESS-DISPLAY is now supported. Viewpoint and the
EMS distributors use this token to select whether a specific event is displayed. A
new field in the egen-record (suppress-display) was added to support this token. See
Section 6, Building Your Application for Event Generation.
•
The token ZSPI-TKN-MANAGER is now supported. This token specifies the
process name of a particular subsystem process. A new field in the egen-record
(subsystem-manager) was added to support this token. See Section 6, Building Your
Application for Event Generation.
•
EMS FastStart now supports template facilities. See Section 4, Preparing the
Application Configuration File.
•
The following data types were added: ZSPI-DDL-TIMESTAMP, ZSPI-DDL-
TRANSID, ZSPI-DDL-SSID.
•
EMS FastStart now supports the C language. EMS FastStart includes a version of
the ATM example written in the C language. See Section 3, Installing and
Configuring EMS FastStart.
•
EMS FastStart has a new ACF format. See Section 4, Preparing the Application
Configuration File.)
•
SAVE-DDL--DICTIONARY on page 4-4 key word was added. This is useful in
saving the DDL dictionary. The DDL dictionary is needed for creating the

The parameter specifies if the DDL dictionary created in the subvolume
specified by the USER-SUBVOL parameter will be saved. Valid parameter
values are YES (save the dictionary) and NO (do not save the dictionary; purge
it). This dictionary will contain all the definitions for ZSPIDDL and ZEMSDDL
plus your own subsystem definitions (tokens and events). This dictionary is
required if you want to use the EMS Template Services and create templates for
your application.
•
USER-DDL--FILE on page 4-4 key word in ACF has been added so that you
can include your own DDL definitions during the compilation of EMS FastStart
DDL.
The parameter specifies the name of a user defined DDL source file. Valid
parameter values are file-name (a valid DDL source file) and NOT-USED (do
not source a file). The content of this file will be sourced at the end of the MAIN
DDL file and added to the dictionary. You may use this file to source your event
