Customizable parameter

Keyword for the SET command

Description

Allow Suspend / Resume (Y,N, or E)

ENABLE| DISABLE| DISABLE(ESSONLY)

N or DISABLE- Do not suspend and resume IMS BMP, IFP, DLI, and DBB jobs (the BMC Application Director for IMS product will not suspend and resume the job even if it has been enabled in the job.)

Y or ENABLE- Only suspend and resume IMS BMP, IFP, DLI, and DBB jobs without connections to IMS ESSs

E or DISABLE(ESSONLY)- Suspend and resume all IMS BMP, IFP, DLI, and DBB jobs (includes jobs with and without connections to IMS ESSs)

Allow STO REG n CANCEL command (Y or N)

CANCEL (YES|NO)

Specifies whether Application Director can issue the following commands to terminate the connections for jobs that are waiting on IMS ESS calls so that the jobs can be suspended and resumed.

  • STO REG nnnn ABDUMP
  • STO REG nnnn CANCEL

If you specify Y or CANCEL(YES), you must also:

  • Have specified E for Allow Suspend/Resume (E specifies that Application Director can suspend and resume jobs with and without connections to IMS ESSs)
  • Specify a value greater than 0 for the ESS Wait Limit (The limit specifies how long you want it must wait before it can issue the command. If you specify 0, the command is never issued.)

If you specify N or CANCEL(N), the value for ESS Wait Limit is ignored. The limit is ignored because you specified that you do not want the command to be issued.

ESS Wait Limit

ESSLIMIT(nnn)

Specifies the amount of time that Application Director must wait for an IMS ESS call to complete before it terminates the IMS BMP, IFP, DLI or DBB job’s connection with the IMS ESS.
