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).
