IBM Enterprise Console manual Configuration File, AdapterCdsFile, JobDescription

A backup copy of each of these files also resides in the CFG_MSG file in library QTMETECA01.

Before starting the event server and an AS/400 message adapter, check the configuration file to determine if it defines the preferred adapter behavior.

Configuration File

The configuration file for the AS/400 message adapter defines the behavior of the adapter, which runs as a job on the AS/400 system.

A configuration file is created during the installation of the AS/400 message adapter. The name of this file is /QSYS.LIB/QUSRSYS.LIB/CFG_MSG.FILE/MSGCFG.MBR. The configuration file can contain the keywords described in “Configuration File” on page 9, as well as the following custom keywords:

AdapterType Specifies the type of resource to be monitored. The default value is MSGQ, meaning that the adapter monitors a message queue.

AdapterCdsFile

Specifies the CDS file to be used for the AS/400 message adapter. This file can reside in either the QSYS or IFS name space, but the path must be specified in IFS notation, for example:

/QSYS.LIB/mylib.LIB/myfile.FILE/mymbr.MBR

The default is the following:

/QSYS.LIB/QUSRSYS.LIB/CFG_MSG.FILE/MSGCDS.MBR

BufEvtPath Specifies the path and name of the buffer file for the AS/400 message adapter. The default path is /etc/Tivoli/tec, and the default buffer file name is the value specified for the adapter name on the AS/400 command (STRTECADP), used to start the adapter.

Note: If an AS/400 message adapter attempts to open a buffer file that is in use by another adapter, the adapter (which runs as a batch job) attempting to open the file ends.

JobDescription

Specifies an AS/400 job description that is to be used when starting the adapter. The default is QGPL/QDFTJOBD.

LanguageID Specifies the AS/400 language ID in which the AS/400 messages are to be sent to the event server. The default value for this keyword is ENU. If a value is specified for this keyword, the AS/400 secondary language must be installed for that language ID.

MsgQueue Specifies the AS/400 message queue to poll. The complete name needs to be specified. The message queue must exist when the adapter is started. If the message queue is cleared while the adapter is active, the adapter starts with new messages that are written after the message queue was cleared. The value of this field must be in the following format:

mylib/mymsgq

The default is QSYS/QSYSOPR.
