Configuring RDF
SWAP Parameters
The PRIMARYSWAP and BACKUPSWAP parameters specify the data stack swap
volumes for RDF processes on the primary and backup systems, respectively.
For example, if you want to configure $SYSTEM as the backup swap volume and
$GOLD as the primary swap volume, issue the following commands:
]SET RDF PRIMARYSWAP $GOLD
]ADD RDF
Note that in this example you do not need to issue a SET RDF BACKUPSWAP
command because $SYSTEM is the default.
LOGFILE Parameter
The LOGFILE parameter specifies the name of the EMS collector to which all RDF
command, event, error, and warning messages are to be directed.
The following commands specify the EMS collector $CTD25 as the RDF log file on
both the primary and backup systems:
]SET RDF LOGFILE $CTD25
]ADD RDF
The collector on the primary system receives log messages from the extractor and
monitor processes (plus RDFCOM messages that are logged in message 835).
The collector on the backup system receives log messages from the receiver, purger,
and all updater processes (plus RDFCOM messages that are logged in message 835).
SOFTWARELOC Parameter
The SOFTWARELOC parameter specifies where the RDF software is installed on both
the primary and backup systems. The default is $SYSTEM.RDF.
PRIMARYSWAP The volume specified by the PRIMARYSWAP parameter applies
to all RDF processes running on the primary system (the
monitor and the extractor).
BACKUPSWAP The volume specified by the BACKUPSWAP parameter applies
to all RDF processes running on the backup system (the
receiver, purger, and all updaters).
Note. In many cases, it is best to specify a volume other than $SYSTEM for the swap volume
on the backup system, particularly if the RDF configuration is large or if you require high
performance.
