Connect for Websphere MQ

Structure of the INI File UCXBMQSC.ini

Parameter Name Description
[ GLOBAL ]
system =

AE system name

The name can consist of a maximum of 8 characters. Allowed are the upper-case letters A to Z, numbers and "_".

System names must not contain the character "_" if you use a z/OS agent in combination with the SMF technique. By default, the job Includes convert "_" to "#". Should you intend to use "_" despite of this fact, you can bypass this situation by specifying the system name in the Event Monitor with "#".

Default: AUTOMIC

language =

The Language(s) in which the log messages are displayed.Always a pair of languages separated by comma enclosed in brackets.

if a message text is not available in the primary language the secondary language will be taken.

Values

  • E: english
  • D: german
  • F: french

Default: (E,D)

logging =

Full file name pattern for log file names

$$ is replaced by the purpose of a Process (CP or WP or JWP or DBSERVICE). No replacements in other components

* is replaced by the 3 digit number of a Worker Process.

## is replaced by the log file sequence number after the existing log files' corresponding numbers have been raised by one during startup of the component.

z/OS components only:

If you comment this parameter, this log file is stored in JES. Also refer to the parameter logpurgeclass= which is described below.

The following parameters can be added if the log is written to a dataset (after the dataset name and separated by semicolons):

"recfm" = (all 27 z/OS plus * and A record formats are valid)

"lrecl" = (0, each positive number up to 32760 and X for each reclen)

"blksize" = (0, each positive number up to 32760)

"space" = ([CYL,TRK],(prim,sec,directory))

For relative path indications the system uses the installation directory when creating files.

For BS2000/OSD Operation System the name may be specified with or without User ID. If without User ID the log file is written to the user ID under which the component has been started

Default: ..\temp\ucxbmqcc_log##.txt

logCount =

number of log files being kept on disk

Default: 10

helplib =

name of the message text library

may have different names dependent on platform rules.

Default: uc.msl

helpcache =

Availability of the messages and language dependent strings.

Values

  • ALL: The complete message file is held in the RAM.
  • NONE: Always read from the hard drive.
  • CONTROLS: All language dependant strings that are necessary in order to display the dialog program are held in the RAM (not relevant for the Automation Engine).

Default: ALL

loglevel =

Level of the message output in the log file

Values

  • 0: No messages in the trace file. Furthermore, no trace file will be created.
  • 1: Normal trace file.
  • 2: Detailed trace file. All available trace information is displayed.

Default: 1

MaxJobs =

Maximal number of requests which can be run simultaneously.

Default: 10

execTimeOut =

Boundary of maximum run time in seconds for processing a script through the Automation Engine. If run time is exceeded, a timeout error is sent to the reply queue.

Default: 300

[ TRACE ]
file =

The path and the file name of the trace file.

Any file name for a text file with several place holders for current system information:

$$ is replaced by server process type (WP or CP) in the context of a server process.

* is replaced by the three-digit process number in the context of a server process.

## is replaced by 00 after the available trace files' corresponding numbers have been raised by one during startup of a trace.

xxx is replaced by the three-digit abbreviation of the respective unix version (unix agent only).

z/OS components only:

The following parameters can be added (after the dataset name and separated by semicolons) if the log is written to a dataset:

"recfm" = (all 27 record formats of z/OS plus * and A are valid)

"lrecl" = (0, each positive number up to 32760 and X for each reclen)

"blksize" = (0, each positive number up to 32760)

"space" = ([CYL,TRK],(prim,sec,directory))

Currently the External Monitoring Interface (EMI) does not produce any trace regardless of the settings here.

For BS2000/OSD the name might be specified with or without user ID. If without the trace file is written to the user ID under which the component has been started.

Default: ..\temp\ucxbmqcc_trc##.txt

trccount =

Number of stored trace files

Default: 10

trclevel =

trace level

Values

  • 0: no
  • 1: typical
  • 2: all

Default: 0

[ TCP/IP ]
cp =

Address of the communication process in the AE system to which the component should connect.

Allowed formats:

DNS Name:Port number

TCP/IP Address:Port number

Default: cphost:2217

connect =

The time interval in seconds for the reestablishment of connections after a loss of connection.

For the Automation Engine: reconnect between Server Processes

For Agents: reconnect to the Engine

For the zOS Event Monitor: reconnect to the Agent

For the Proxy: reconnect to Automation Engine or Server Proxy

For Agents: This parameter is only effective until the first successful logon to the AE system. Afterwards, you can use the parameter RECONNECT_TIME in the host characteristics.

For z/OS Event Monitor: The Console command "MODIFY ..., EX=<addr>,:<port> serves to facilitate a new connection immediately. In this case, the attempt to re-connect to the specified agent is made immediately. A reconnection is established, even if the Event Monitor already has a connection to another agent. A new connection is then established. The old connection is ended if the new connection has successfully been established.

Default: 300

[ MQSERIES ]
ConnName =

Connection name and port number of the WebSphere MQ Queue Manager Server.

The contents are equivalent to setup values when the MQSC DEFINE CHANNEL command is used.

Format: <mqsrv>:<port>

<mqsrv> = Connection name

<port> = Port number of the connection

Default: MQSRV:1414

QMgrName =

Name of the queue manager.

Default:

QueueName =

Name of the request queue (SIQ).

Default: UC4CInputQueue

SvrconnChannelName =

Server connection name of WebSphere MQ Queue Manager.

The parameter is only analyzed when the ConnName= Parameter is also used.

Default: SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN

UseLibrary =

Type of connection to MQSeries

Values

  • C: Client
  • S: Server

Default: C
