Setting Configuration Parameters
Setting Configuration Parameters
There are five ways to set the configuration parameters: 
1. Within the USER^INIT^CONFIG^PARAMS user exit (called during process 
initialization), assign parameter values to TSCODE globals. This method may be 
used with static or dynamic parameters.  Use the internal DEFINE names listed in 
the second column of Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.
For example, to specify the restart time delay, assign a value to the name 
auto^restart^delay^time:
PROC USER^INIT^CONFIG^PARAMS;
BEGIN
 auto^restart^delay^time := 10000; 
To turn on the trace facility, assign 1 to the name auto^trace^flag:
PROC USER^INIT^CONFIG^PARAMS;
BEGIN
 auto^trace^flag := 1; 
2. Before running GDSX, use TACL PARAM commands to assign values to external 
parameter names. This method may be used with static or dynamic parameters. Use 
the external parameter names listed in the first column of Table 2-2 and Table 2-3.
For example, to specify the restart time delay, enter the following command at a 
TACL prompt:
> PARAM RESTARTTIME 10000
remote^change^flag sg^security.<13> 0 0–1
access^group sg^security.<14:15> 1 (group) 0–3
