BCAM-CONNECTION SM2 monitoring programs

The last value in the list of ranges specifies the overflow limit. All monitored variables that exceed this limit are included under the last range. The bucket parameters in BCAM can be specified by both SM2 and other applications. It is also possible to disable monitored data acquisition entirely.

The SET-BCAM-CONNECTION-PARAMETER statement contains the *UNCHANGED operand value. This causes SM2 to leave the bucket parameters set in BCAM as they are, and to adopt these values for its own monitoring program definition.

If the SET-BCAM-CONNECTION-PARAMETER statement is used to define alternative bucket parameters, then these will also be set in BCAM when you start the monitoring program. If you modify the bucket parameters in BCAM during the monitoring process, the new parameters will also apply to SM2.

If monitore- data acquisition is disabled in BCAM during monitoring, SM2 will reenable it using the parameters defined in SM2.

Connection-specific parameters

A connection is defined by an NEA name or a port number, the type of connection, and the host name. A connection set is understood as a number of connections defined by speci- fying these objects.

The objects may be specified using

–a fully qualified name (name),

–a partially qualified name (name*), or

–or an unqualified name (*ANY, *LOCAL, *REMOTE, *BOTH).

Using an unqualified name may lead to fluctuations in the number of connections in a connection set during monitoring. The BCAM-CONNECTION screen shows the number of connections of the connection set which are currently being monitored. A connection set is defined by specifying a list of up to 16 name definitions. You can specify either NEA appli- cation names or port numbers, but not both.

You must also specify the type of connection:

*LOCAL	Only connections within the host
*REMOTE	Only remote connections
*BOTH	All connections

Another distinguishing feature used to select connections is the names of the hosts between which the connection exists. It is possible to define up to 32 connection sets.
