Use the Environmental Options screen to define host specific details for your application.
When you transmit this screen, the Environmental DMS Options screen is displayed.
The properties and their expected inputs are:
Log Activities
Enter Y to enable logging of system activities (details of non-transaction activities are written to the Log file). Enter N if system activities are not be logged.
By default, the value is N.
Log Transactions
Enter Y to enable logging of transactions (details of transaction activities are written to the Log file). You must also enter Y in the Log Activities property.
Entry N if transactions are not to be kept. By default, the value is N.
Log Size (blocks)
Enter the size (in blocks) of your Log file (the file is blocked 1). The valid range is 1000 through 999999.
Refer to Activity Log for more information on the Log file size.
Expected TPH (x 1000)
Enter the expected number of transactions per hour for your application, in thousands. This value is used by the COMS to calculate your Input queue memory size.
If not entered, a default of 5 (5000 tph) is used.
Protected Input
Enter Y to require COMS to save all input before it is presented to a COMSTP program. This ensures that any input received by the application is not lost due to a Halt/Load. Refer to Disabling COMS Input Protection in Administering Application Builds and Reports for more information.
By default, the value is N.
POF Name
Enter the name of your Protected Output File. This file is used by COMS to manage recovery of output messages to terminals. By default, the file name is the name of your application.
Refer to Using an Alternative to COMS Output Protection in Administering Application Builds and Reports for more information.
POF Family
Enter the pack family for your Protected Output File. The default is the Default pack.
Dup. POF Family
Enter the name of a pack family on which a duplicate copy of your Protected Output file is maintained. Enter spaces if you do not require a duplicate Protected Output file.
WFL Family
Enter the pack family where your application and system software files (including the compilers and DMS II software) reside.
You must make an entry in this property if any of the following apply:
The system software required during the installation (for example, the compilers), is not resident on either the primary or alternate pack family of the WFL usercode family. To address this situation, enter (where pack is the pack family of system software):
DISK = pack ONLYTo ensure all work files are kept on your primary family, enter (where primary is the primary family, and pack is the pack family of system software):
DISK = primary OTHERWISE pack
You are placing some or all of the installed Agile Business Suite Software on to a pack family called DISK.
To address this situation, enter:
DISK = DISK ONLY
Or, if the system software is not on the pack family called DISK, enter (where pack is the pack family of system software):
DISK = DISK OTHERWISE packNote: If an alternate pack is specified, that is used as the alternate pack of the FAMILY statement associated with LSS and the COMSTP programs within COMS, and therefore the alternate pack for files accessed by those programs (for example, WFLs referenced by a Start command).
