Appendix B JCWs
The following JCWs can be used in DeskMon to customize the operation of
the product for specific sites. Each JCW is listed with a description of
its function, its possible values, and its default value. All the JCWs
are set in the DESKMON.MAILJOB.HPOFFICE job. If you want to change the
values of the JCWs then edit this file.
DMSTATSTIME
The frequency, in minutes, with which the HP DeskManager STATSFIL is
scanned by DeskMon. The default (when DMSTATSTIME = 0) is 5 minutes.
DMPREVENTNULLCOMMENT
Tells DeskMon to ignore entries in the HP DeskManager STATSFIL which have
nothing in the comment field. (Entries with no comments often do not
contain sufficient information for meaningful reporting.) The JCW may
have the following values:
0 Report all relevant entries (default value).
1 Ignore entries with nothing in comment field.
DMTELLTIMESTAMP
Used to put a time stamp in TELL messages. The JCW may have the
following values:
0 No time stamp (default value).
1 Time stamp only.
2 Date and time stamp.
DMDQUEUE
Causes the DeskMon process to remain in the D queue (by default the
DeskMon process will automatically move to the C queue). Putting DeskMon
in the D queue may delay message reporting. The JCW may have the
following values:
0 Allow in C queue (default value).
1 Remain in D queue.
DMALWAYSDS
Used to increase data communications performance of DeskMon depending on
local NS and DS reporting configurations. The JCW may have the following
values:
0 A value of 0 is the default. First try making the connection using
an NS socket. If an NS connection cannot be made, check if the
remote node name is eight characters or less with no periods (.).
If so, try using DS.
1 Check the remote node name is eight characters or less with no
periods (.). If so, use DS for the connection without trying NS.
NOTE NS is significantly faster and more efficient to report errors due
to the use of NSIPC socket connections. DS connections must
establish a remote session and invoke a PTOP application.
DMDSLINEOPTION
Used to control how long DS lines are kept open. This JCW may have the
following values:
0 A value 0 is the default. Once a DS connection has been
established, the line remains open (along with the user logon)
until DeskMon is shut down on the system making the connection.
1 Establishes a connection for each DeskMon message and terminates
the connection as soon as the message is transmitted. This option
minimizes the time used on the line, but results in a high overhead
for opening and closing DS lines and logging on and off the HP
3000.
2 Keeps all connections indefinitely open except for telephone lines,
which timeout (using the DMDSTIMEOUT JCW).
3 All DS lines timeout. This option closes a connection if there is
no activity on the line for the time specified using the
DMDSTIMEOUT JCW.
DMDSTIMEOUT
The timeout value in seconds for the DS connections. This JCW is only
referenced if the DMDSLINEOPTION JCW has a value of 2 or 3. The default
value for DMDSTIMEOUT is 0.
DMTRACE
The DeskMon equivalent of MAILTRACE which enables procedure level
tracing. The output of the trace is sent to DMLOG, which by default is
on the LP device. DMTRACE can be set to either 0 (the default value)
which disables tracing, or 1 which enables tracing.
DMTRACE should only be enabled if directed by a Hewlett-Packard
representative.
DMREPORTABORT
This JCW is used to indicate the status of the DeskMon reporting process
at termination, whether it was successful or not, and is detected by the
controlling job, DMON. A value of 0 (default) indicates successful
completion, and a non-zero value indicates an abnormal termination.
