Step 4: Edit DEFINE Files The next step is to edit the DEFINE files and look for values that must be replaced or
changed to produce the new configuration.
DEFINETR File Modifications
First, the system manager goes through the DEFINETR file for Base TRANSFER and
makes the following changes:
Sets TRUserDSV to the name of the DSV for the TRANSFER software:
$DISKX.TRANDSV in the example.
SetsTRGuardianUserId to a user ID for the test system. In the example, this ID is
1,30.
Changes TRPwayHomeTerm and TRProcessServHomeTerm to the name of the
test system home terminal—$MYTERM in this example.
Specifies the $DISKA.TRANNAME subvolume for the TRNameFilesSubvolume
parameter.
Specifies the $DISKB.TRANDATA subvolume for the TRANSFER data files. The
parameter names start with TRProfileFile.
Changes TRTareqTerms from 2 to 1. Because this is to be a test system used for
debugging both clients and agents, it is important to have only one TAREQ TERM,
to facilitate using INSPECT.
Because the test system will have a user-written agent, the system manager sets
TRAgentTclprog to the name of the SCREEN COBOL object library in which the
user-written agent resides: $DISKA.TRANEXT.CUST.
Sets TRextobjsEnabled to NO. Comments out TRExtobjsVolume00,
TRExtobjsFileSecurity, and TRExtobjsSubvolPrefix. The test system will not
require the external objects capability.
Changes the process names according to the naming conventions established: All
process names for TRANSFER begin with TX, all process names for PS MAIL 6530
begin with TM, and multiple occurrences of a process have names ending in a
number.
To change the process names from the defaults to the unique names established
for the test system, the system manager can do one of two things:
Modify the ?LET command at the beginning of the DEFINETR file, as follows:
?LET INITIALS = TX
This method has the advantage of making the process names easier to change
later.
Search for the string [INITIALS] and replace every occurrence with the string
TX. This method has the advantage of making the configuration file easier to
read.
