Setting System Parameters 

To ensure that a new Silhouette job can run on all systems, determine the
job and session limits set for each primary system and each secondary
system.  Increase each of these limits by one to ensure Silhouette can
run.

   1.  Determine the system job/session limits by entering:

            :SHOWJOB STATUS 

            8 JOBS:
            0 INTRO; 2 SCHEDULED
            0 WAIT: INCL 0 DEFERRED
            6 EXEC; INCL 4 SESSIONS
            0 SUSP
            JOBFENCE= 5; JLIMIT= 6; SLIMIT= 15

   2.  Increase the existing job limits (JLIMIT) by one and the session
       limit (SLIMIT) by the number of communication lines defined in the
       configuration file.  Based on the above example, to increase the
       job limit by one and the session limit by one, enter:

            :LIMIT 7, 16 

   3.  At your earliest convenience set the Communications Subsystem (CS)
       configuration for the Intelligent Network Processor (INP) connect
       timeout.  For high system availability use a short value (30 for
       hardwired and as short as possible for dial connections consistent
       with dial facilities, is recommended).  The process for doing this
       is different for MPE V/E and MPE XL.

       a.  If you using MPE V/E, run the SYSDUMP program to view the
           current configuration:

                :SYSDUMP $NULL 

                ANY CHANGES? YES [[Return]]

           Press [[Return]] until the question I/O CONFIGURATION CHANGES?
           appears, then answer YES. Press [[Return]] until the question
           LIST CS DEVICES? appears, then answer YES to view the
           configured value.  To retain the current value, press
           [[Return]].  To change the connect timeout, enter a new value.
           For additional information on the SYSDUMP program refer to the
           MPE V System Operation and Resource Management Reference 
           Manual (32033-90005).

       b.  If you are MPE XL, run the SYSGEN program to view the current
           value.  Use the MISC Configurator >SHOW SESSION command to
           view the current LOGONTIMEOUT value:

                :SYSGEN 
                sysgen>MISC 
                misc>SHOW SESSION 

           To change the value, enter the command:

                misc>SESSION LOGONTIMEOUT 

           The range for configuring LOGONTIMEOUT is between 10 and 600
           seconds.  For additional information on the SYSGEN program
           refer to System Configuration (32650-90042).

   4.  Determine how many users will need to access the logfile and, if
       necessary, modify the current system configuration.  The process
       for doing this is different for MPE V/E and MPE XL.

       a.  If you are using MPE V/E, run the SYSDUMP program to view the
           current configuration:

                :SYSDUMP $NULL 

                ANY CHANGES? YES [[Return]]

           Press [[Return]] until the question SYSTEM TABLE CHANGES?
           appears.  Answer YES to view the configured value for MAX
           NUMBER OF USERS PER LOGGING PROCESS. To retain the current
           value, press [[Return]].  To change the maximum number of
           users per logging process, enter a new value.  The maximum
           number of users allowed per logging process for MPE V/E is
           256.  For additional information on the SYSDUMP program refer
           the MPE V System Operation and Resource Management Reference 
           Manual (32033-90005).

       b.  If you are using MPE XL, run the SYSGEN program to view the
           current configuration.  Use the LOG Configurator, >SHOW
           command to view the current number of users per logging
           process:

                :SYSGEN 
                sysgen>LO 
                log>SH ULOG 

           To change the number of users per logging process, enter the
           command:

                log>UL USERSPERPROC xx 

           The maximum number of users allowed per logging process on MPE
           XL is 128.  For additional information on the SYSGEN program
           refer to System Configuration (32650-90042).
