Customizing Server
Classes
The server classes for TRANSFER are defined through PATHCOM commands in
installation files on the configuration subvolume. There is a file for each component
you define for your TRANSFER system.
To change the configuration, you must put PATHCOM ALTER commands in file
CUSTCNFG on your configuration subvolume. After you have included all the
changes in CUSTCNFG, run the XCNFG program, which incorporates your changes in
the TRANSFER PATHWAY system.
General PARAM
Specifications
The PARAM specifications are applicable to all TRANSFER server classes except
A-NAME (Name server), A-TSCHED (TSCHED server), and the Text server.
An ASSIGN parameter in GTRCNFG specifies the debug log file. You usually specify
this file by including a TRServDebuglog parameter for the server in the DEFINETR
file. The following is a sample ASSIGN statement generated in GTRCNFG for the
G-FILE server:
ASSIGN DEBUGLOG, $S.#GFILE.DEBUGLOG
The debug log is useful for debugging new TRANSFER applications. Requests to and
replies from the server are written to the debug log file. Unexpected failures during
normal TRANSFER operation are reported to the server output file and not to the
debug log file. For debug logging to take place, a debug log file must be assigned for
the server.
Other parameters that you can change through PARAM specifications for the server
classes are listed in Table 7-1, together with the default specifications.
