Each product PROFILE EXEC performs three functions:
- Issue SPOOL commands to ensure that product consoles and printers are properly defined.
- Link to the VMANAGER 1FF minidisk as 1FF and access it as filemode Z. (The link must be defined in the directory entry of the product service virtual machine.)
- Invoke PROFRUN, the product start-up program used by all product service virtual machines.
Each system administrator PROFILE EXEC has three responsibilities:
- Links to the VMANAGER 1FF minidisk as 1FF and access it as filemode Z.
- Links to the VMANAGER 195 minidisk as 1FE and access it as filemode X.
- Invokes VMADMIN, the system administrator start-up program.
You can modify the PROFILE EXEC, but the modified EXEC must still link and access the VMANAGER 1FF minidisk at 1FF as filemode Z, and must invoke PROFRUN or VMADMIN.
- Each product directory entry must contain these records:
IUCV ALLOW
OPTION MAXCONN nnnnn
The variable nnnnn has a value of 1 to 65535. For example, for CA VM:Account, CA recommends that this number equal three times the number of logged-on users. See the default product directory entry in the product specific Installation Guide publication. - Each product CONFIG (configuration) file specifies site-dependent controls and options for that product. Information such as interface parameters, tape management options, and user exits are contained in the configuration file.
- All products except CA VM:Sort, CA VM:Backup HiDRO, and CA VM:Spool V/Seg Plus must add a PRODUCT VMSISERV VMANAGER record to their configuration files. This record allows VMANAGER to perform product maintenance.
