BMP parameters

You can access the following figure when you select Option 3 – BMP Parms from the Parameters Selection Menu.

Important

Fields blanked out on the screen default to their associated values in the current environment IMS environment definition. All changes to the fields remain in effect and are saved from session to session.

If you allocate the DFSRESLB, DFSVSAMP, or RECON DDs before invoking File-AID for IMS/ISPF, it does not attempt to allocate or de-allocate them. File-AID for IMS/ISPF also does not validate the data sets that you allocated to DDs.

Changes here override the current environment defaults. When selecting another environment using Option E, you have the option to retain the current setting or restore environment defaults (see Retain environment modifications).

Use the RESTORE command to remove override values and use environment defaults.

Important

Some fields are cleared (blank) while others actually display the default settings for the current environment.

The following section describes the fields on the File-AID for IMS– Modify BMP Parameters screen:

BMP PARMS

BMP parameters are passed to DFSRRC00 (the IMS region controller). File-AID for IMS/ISPF generates REGIONTYPE, PGMNAME, and PSBNAME and concatenates them in front of your parameters. This field is display only and reflects the values specified in the individual fields below.

IN

Specify the input transaction code.

OUT

Specify the output transaction code.

OPT

Specify which option to enable when the IMSID or ALTID system is not available. Valid entries are N=ask operator, W=Wait, or C=Cancel.

SPIE

Specify whether to allow SPIE established by the application program. Valid entries are 0=AllowSPIE or 1=Negate SPIE.

TEST

Specify whether to validate addresses in the call list. Valid entries are 0=do not validate or 1=validate.

DIRCA

Specify the dependent region interregion communication area size.

PRLD

Specify whether to pre-load the list suffix, DFSMPLxx.

STIMER

Specify whether to gather processor time statistics. Valid entries are 0=No or 1=Yes.

CKPTID

Specify the checkpoint for the restart of the program.

PARDLI

Specify whether the parallel DL/I option is enabled. Valid entries are 0=enabled or 1=disabled.

CPUTIME

Specify the task timing option. Valid entries are 0=none or 1 through 1440=maximum time in minutes.

NBA

Specify the initial number of fast path buffers for DEDB.

OBA

Specify the overflow number of fast path buffers for DEDB.

IMSID

Specify the IMS subsystem ID.

AGN

Specify the application group name.

SSM

Specify the subsystem member suffix for external subsystems.

PREINIT

Specify the pre-initialization list suffix, DFSINTxx.

ALTID

Specify the alternate IMS system.

LOCKMAX

Specify the locking limit, which overrides PSB LOCKMAX. Valid entries are 0=none or 1through 32,767. This value locks in units of 1,000.
