External Monitoring Interface

Structure of the INI File emi.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))

AE and Java components only:

Logging to standard output can be enabled by setting the value to CON:

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/log_##.log

logCount =

number of log files being kept on disk

Default: 10

password =

password

for External Monitoring Interface: password for the login into the Automation Engine

Default:

reconnect =

Reconnect interval.

When a connection to the AE cannot be established, the EMI will retry in periodic intervals defined here.

Default: 10

client =

Client number of the AE system which will be monitored.

Default: 0

user =

User name, whose context the monitoring will run in.

Default: MONITORING

connection =

Connection Parameter: Address of the endpoint used to connect to the AE system.

Default: jcphost:8443

connectionPollInterval =

Interval in seconds in which the EMI will poll available JCPs and store their endpoints in the JCPLIST section.

Default: 10

trustedCertFolder =

The path to the folder where additional trusted certificates are stored (optional). Certificates must be PEM encoded.

Default:

[ 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))

AE and Java components only:

Tracing to standard output can be enabled by setting the value to CON:

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/trace_##.txt

trccount =
