Customizing the
CONFIG File
The CONFIG file is shipped with the Flow Map Host object file. This is a template
configuration file that should cause a reasonable diagram to be created for most
systems. The CONFIG file is in EDIT format and all entries are free format, each
beginning with a single word command. Each line is 80 characters long, and text can
wrap around onto continuation lines. The file can be used as it is or customized to
more accurately reflect the data you wish to retrieve. The CONFIG file appears below:
!============================================================================
!
! This is a CONFIG file template for Flow Map Host T8658D20-18MAR94.
!
! This information may require considerable customization, but the
! configuration is complete and will usually produce valid and useful output.
!
! See the Flow Map manual for a full description and discussion of command
! syntax and usage.
!
! Useful tip - A more complete Flow Map will usually be possible if the
! SET ALLOW-TRANSIENTS statement below is changed from NO to YES. This
! is likely to cause FMH to take longer to execute and may well increase
! the number of objects and connections created - but the final result is
! likely to be more accurate. The best method for reducing the quantity
! of objects and connections is to finely adjust the THRESHOLD values.
!
!============================================================================
!
! Establish global variables.
!
SET APPLICATION-NAME 'Tandem Application' ! Application name
SET PROGRESS YES ! Display progress messages
SET ALLOW-TRANSIENTS NO ! Reject all transient entities
SET TRANSIENT-PERCENT 70 ! Define transience at 70%
SET DISCARD YES ! Do not retain PROCESS and DISKFILE objects
SET APPLY-THRESHOLDS YES ! Apply any defined thresholds
!
!============================================================================
!
! Defines thresholds for all object types.
!
