Viewing server name

The execute statement in the viewing server JCL contains parameter values that specify the name of the viewing server, a server type value, and optionally, a suffix value. The viewing server name is a one- to eight-character value that is used to identify the viewing server on the online customization panels. Therefore, you must specify a unique value for this parameter for each viewing server you create. Further, the viewing server name must be different than the CICS APPLID you use for CICS local/remote viewing access.

Note

The viewing server name is also used in the SAF resource name generated by the Abend-AID Viewer when external security is implemented. See Security-planning section in the Abend-AID Installation and Configuration Guide for more information.



//AAVIEW EXEC PGM=FDBMMPLU,DYNAMNBR=125,TIME=1440
// PARM=’SERVER1,VIEWER,00’

The server type value must be VIEWER. No other value should be specified. The suffix value identifies the member containing the configuration parameters. The combination of these two fields invokes a search for a member within the common PARMLIB for a name that begins with AAVW from the server type parameter, followed by the suffix. If your server type is VIEWER, and the suffix specified is 00, then the BMC AMI Common Mainframe Services Controller (CMSC) returns the parameters for a member named AAVW00. For example, in the Abend-AID installation sample library hlq.CTL member $65SRVR JCL, using the above convention, specify:

If you do not specify a value, then the BMC AMI Common Mainframe Services Controller (CMSC) returns values from the default member. If you use one of the provided members, the suffix is 00 or ALL. The team supporting the CMSC should provide you with the suffix value. For more information about the CMSC, see BMC Mainframe Services Controller (CMSC) Configuration and Administration in the BMC AMI Enterprise Common Components.
