Server Assigns and Parameters
Server Assigns
Table A-1 is a partial list of the SET SERVER ASSIGN values that are supported by
ViewPoint servers. You can use these values to modify your ViewPoint configuration.
The default values are shown in parentheses.
You can change server assign values for a cold startup of ViewPoint by changing the
Pathway configuration file PATHDEFS. You add new server assigns or replace existing
server assigns in the PATHDEFS file and then cold start ViewPoint, as described in
Section 7, Installation, Configuration, and Startup
.
You use some assigns to supply the same file name to several server classes. When
changing file assigns, all occurrences of the assign must be changed. A list of all server
classes that implement each assign follows the definition of the assign.
Unqualified file names assume the default volume of the server, which is the ViewPoint
data subvolume assigned at installation.
Default server assign values need not be included in PATHDEFS, though you can
specify default server assigns for documentation. To specify a nondefault server assign
value, you must add a SET SERVER command to the appropriate server class. For
example, to assign the EMS log file to a system other than the installation default, add
the following command for the ZVPT-EVNT-COLL server class:
SET SERVER ASSIGN PRIMARY-COLLECTOR, \NCN.$0
