SET SERVER
Quotation marks are required. If you omit this attribute, the default is “N”.
STARTUP string
specifies the character string that is sent to a Guardian server process in the startup
message. Leading blanks are ignored. If you want embedded blanks to be read as
part of the startup string, enclose string in quotation marks. If the string includes
quotation marks, they must be doubled.
TIMEOUT number { HRS | MINS | SECS }
specifies the maximum amount of time a link manager, such as a LINKMON
process or TCP, uses for the I/O operation to the server process.
TIMEOUT must be a value from 0 through 18 HRS, 0 through 1092 MINS, or 0
through 16383 SECS. If you omit this attribute, there is no timeout on the server I/O
operation. That is, the link manager waits indefinitely for the server I/O operation to
complete.
A SERVERCLASS_SEND_ call that times out returns Pathsend error
FESCSERVERLINKCONNECT (904) and file-system error 40. A SCREEN
COBOL SEND operation that times out has a server I/O error 12 reported in the
SCREEN COBOL TERMINATION-STATUS special register.
The TIMEOUT attribute is not active until the first open procedure has completed.
The initial open of a server process by a LINKMON process has an automatic 5
minute timeout period; the initial open of a server process by a TCP has an
automatic 10 minute time-out period.
TMF { ON | OFF }
specifies whether servers in this server class can lock and update data files audited
by the TMF system.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF.
The LINKMON process does not perform checkpoint operations; it automatically
retries I/O errors in the same way as the operating system retries them. The TCP
“N” Any local or remote user
“C” Any member of owner's community (local or remote user having same
group ID as owner)
“U” Any member of owner's user class (local or remote user having same
group ID and user ID as owner)
Note. For distributed server classes, this attribute must be set to ON.
ON allows servers to lock and update audited files. The LINKMON or TCP
process opens the servers with a syncdepth of 0.
OFF does not allow servers to lock and update audited files. The LINKMON or
TCP process opens the servers with a syncdepth of 1.
