Changing ViewPoint Configuration
you add the CALL-EXTRAS-DELETE parameter to the attributes of the ZVPT-EVNT-
COLL server, as shown:
SET SERVER PARAM CALL-EXTRAS-DELETE "TRUE"
Before you call either the ZVPT-EXTRAS or ZVPT-EXTRAS-DELETE program units,
you must be sure they are compiled and available in your object library. You can use
SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP) to check the contents of this library.
Adding a Custom Server
There are several situations in which you might want to add a custom server to your
ViewPoint application, for example, a custom status server or any server associated with
a ZVPT-EXTRAS program. (Refer to Section 6, Customizing ViewPoint
for a
discussion of Extras screens and custom status servers.)
You add a custom server to your ViewPoint application by adding all the necessary
commands to your PATHDEFS file. For example, adding the following commands to
the PATHDEFS file that is supplied with ViewPoint achieves two results: defines the
attributes of the custom server, ZVPT-USTA-DISPLAY, described in Appendix D,
Sample Custom Status Server and adds the custom server to the ViewPoint application.

Remember, for each of these results, you must stop ViewPoint and then cold start it
again to run ViewPoint with the changed configuration. You can use the PATHCOM
ALTER command to make changes to a running ViewPoint application. To do this, you
first freeze and then stop the TCP, program unit, or server you want to alter; make the
change; and then thaw and restart the TCP, program, or server. Changes made this way
are not, however, retained if you stop and then cold start ViewPoint. To make changes
permanent, you must change the PATHDEFS file.
Note. If PATHTCP2 runs at a high PIN, you must make sure that your custom status servers
support high-PIN openers.
