OSSINFIL File
OSSINFIL File
This file is used by the STARTOSS utility. It should be created and maintained for each
site’s specific OSS configuration of servers and filesets managed by the OSS Monitor
process.
You should create this EDIT file by using FUP DUP on the OSSINF file. If the
STARTOSS utility cannot locate this file, this file is created from the OSSINF file.
Always edit OSSINFIL to update its content any time you add or remove an OSS
server or fileset. The rules for adding entries to the OSSINFIL file are summarized in
the sample file shown in Figure C-4:
•
Comments must begin with the asterisk (*) character followed by a space. The
sequence asterisk asterisk (**) does not begin a valid comment, but the sequence
asterisk space asterisk (**) does begin a valid comment.
•
FILESET entries must appear in the order of their mount points within the OSS file
system hierarchy.
•
FILESET entries cannot contain the number sign (#) character.
Figure C-4. Example of an OSSINF File
* File: OSS Monitor in-file ( Version 1.0 ) { <--MUST BE FIRST LINE OF FILE}
* This is an in-file for the OSS T0585 utilities STARTOSS and OSSSETUP. The
* OSS Monitor process manages all entries in this file.
* There is no need to refer to any name server or transport agent server.
* Name servers are automatically started when their corresponding filesets
* are started. Transport agent servers are started when a processor is
* reloaded.
* NOTE: Add an asterisk followed with a space in front of a line to prevent
* that server or fileset from being started.
* Format for server entry: SERVER #<name>
* Format for fileset entry: FILESET <name>
* Start the OSS Message Queue Server:
SERVER #ZMSGQ
* Start the OSS Local Server:
SERVER #ZPLS
* Add additional filesets to the end of this file. Starting order
* of filesets must be maintained. An incorrect order can cause
* filesets not to start. Do not use a hash mark (#) in fileset names.
* Start the OSS ROOT, HOME and TEMP Filesets:
FILESET ROOT
FILESET HOME
FILESET TEMP
