BCAM-CONNECTION SM2 monitoring programs
The last value in the list of ranges specifies the overflow limit. All monitored variables that
exceed this limit are included under the last range. The bucket parameters in BCAM can be
specified by both SM2 and other applications. It is also possible to disable monitored data
acquisition entirely.
The SET-BCAM-CONNECTION-PARAMETER statement contains the *UNCHANGED
operand value. This causes SM2 to leave the bucket parameters set in BCAM as they are,
and to adopt these values for its own monitoring program definition.
If the SET-BCAM-CONNECTION-PARAMETER statement is used to define alternative
bucket parameters, then these will also be set in BCAM when you start the monitoring
program. If you modify the bucket parameters in BCAM during the monitoring process, the
new parameters will also apply to SM2.
If monitore- data acquisition is disabled in BCAM during monitoring, SM2 will reenable it
using the parameters defined in SM2.
Connection-specific parameters
A connection is defined by an NEA name or a port number, the type of connection, and the
host name. A connection set is understood as a number of connections defined by speci-
fying these objects.
The objects may be specified using
– a fully qualified name (name),
– a partially qualified name (name*), or
– or an unqualified name (*ANY, *LOCAL, *REMOTE, *BOTH).
Using an unqualified name may lead to fluctuations in the number of connections in a
connection set during monitoring. The BCAM-CONNECTION screen shows the number of
connections of the connection set which are currently being monitored. A connection set is
defined by specifying a list of up to 16 name definitions. You can specify either NEA appli-
cation names or port numbers, but not both.
You must also specify the type of connection:
*LOCAL Only connections within the host
*REMOTE Only remote connections
*BOTH All connections
Another distinguishing feature used to select connections is the names of the hosts
between which the connection exists. It is possible to define up to 32 connection sets.
