Customizing the UIM server
The UIM server is configured during installation.
However, you can view or alter the original configuration of the UIM server permanently by changing the values for variables in the startup and trace members of the configuration file. For information about changing the configuration setting temporarily, see the instructions for operating the UIM server in your product documentation.
You can change the following UIM server configuration options:
- Port number
- Authorization security timeout
- Affinity timeout
- Server-side storage data set (HFS data set)
- Tracing
- Enable/disable network browser command interface
Each UIM server requires a configuration member, called the startup member, that describes the unique characteristics of each server. This member is specified as a parameter in the UIM server configuration file.
The sample library (hlq.SAMP) contains a template for the startup member named #NORMAL. The installation process customizes the #NORMAL member, gives it the same name as the started task procedure, and copies it to the hlq.CONFIG data set.
The following figure shows the #NORMAL member template.
<bmc_parm id="PORT" value="9999" />
<bmc_parm id="AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS" value="1800" />
<bmc_parm id="AFF_TIMEOUT_SECS" value="1800" />
<bmc_parm id="HFS_DATASET" value="hlq.HFS" />
<bmc_parm id="ALLOW_NETCMD" value="YES" />
</bmchttp>
The editable variables in the #NORMAL member are defined in the following table.
Variable | Definition | Accepted Value | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
<BMC_PARM ID='PORT'VALUE= '9999'/> | Port value for the UIM server | Unique numeric value that is between 1 and 65535 | |
<BMC_PARM ID='AUTH_TIMEOUT_SECS'VALUE='1800' /> | Timeout for security authorization | Numeric value in seconds | |
<BMC_PARM ID='AFF_TIMEOUT_SECS'VALUE='1800' /> | Idle timeout period for affinity tasks | Unique numeric value in seconds | |
<BMC_PARM ID='HFS_DATASET'VALUE='hlq.HFS' /> | HFS data set name | PDSE data set name for storing HFS data | |
<BMC_PARM ID='ALLOW_NETCMD'VALUE='YES' /> | Enable or disable network browser command interface | YES (default), NO, or AUTHORIZE |
