Configuring RDF
After issuing the ADD commands (but before starting RDF), you can change some
parameter values in the configuration file by issuing ALTER commands.
Setting Global Parameters
The SET RDF command establishes values for global parameters that apply either to
the entire RDF system or to all updater processes. These parameters and their default
values are:
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).
Note. Instead of issuing SET and ADD commands interactively within an RDFCOM session,
you can create and execute an RDF configuration command file. The first time you configure
RDF, you can either configure it interactively or use the text editor to create a command file.
After you have configured RDF, you can easily create a command file from the existing
configuration file as explained under Creating a Configuration Command File
later in this
section. You can then use that command file whenever you need to reconfigure RDF. Refer to
Appendix B, Additional Reference Information for a sample configuration file.
