SET SERVER Command
TIMEOUT number { HRS | MINS | SECS }
specifies the timeout value that 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 16,383 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 SET SERVER 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.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
TMF { ON | OFF }
specifies whether servers in this server class can lock and update data files
audited by the TMF subsystem.
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
performs checkpoint operations, but does not automatically retry I/O errors; this is
done by the operating system.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
VOLUME volume-spec
For GUARDIAN processes, specifies the server class default volume and
subvolume names to be passed to the server process in the startup message.
This value is also used by the PATHMON process for the VOLUME attribute of
_DEFAULTS DEFINE.
For OSS processes, specifies the server class default Guardian volume and
subvolume used by the PATHMON process for the VOLUME attribute of the
_DEFAULTS DEFINE.
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.
