Make the following configuration settings in the DATAEXCHANGE/CONFIG file on the MCP host:
Port: This is the port on which the DE MCP Service is running.
Host: If there are multiple NIC cards, then it may be necessary to have the Agent start up on a particular IP address. To do this, create an entry "HOST = nnn.nnn.nn.nn".
Audit Files: If you want to provide an alternate location for the audit files, create an entry “ALTAUDIT = <PACK NAME>” .
Notes:
You must first copy the audit file from the original location or from its backup location to the new pack.
You can use the command NA DATAEXCHSERVICE STATUS to display the alternate audit location.
If the audit files are not located on the mentioned pack, then Data Exchange notifies that it is waiting for the audit files.
Site Audit:If you need to provide a different location for the audit files, create an entry “SITEAUDIT= <PACK NAME>. This setting overrides the audit pack location set in the DASDL.
AuditFlush: This is the time in milliseconds the Agent will wait to process the Audit Block. The default value is 1500, minimum value is 5, and maximum value is 60000.
You can use % symbol to add comments to the CONFIG file. For example, % This is a comment.
If the Agent needs to run on a different port than the default port of 8299, create a DATAEXCHANGE/CONFIG<x> file with an entry PORT = nnnn.
Always restart the MCP Agent after making any changes to the CONFIG file.
The Data Exchange trace messages and the diagnostic information are available in the Sumlog, under DEXCH. You can turn on tracing using the command NA DATAEXCHSERVICE TRACE ON and turn it off using NA DATAEXCHSERVICE TRACE OFF.
