LANDP Common Definitions

LANDP common definitions specify information that may be used by more than one workstation. Common definitions are placed in the COMMON.SPC file in the EHCCUS directory. Most LANDP servers require some common definitions. For further information on the LANDP customization stage see chapter 3 of the LANDP Installation and Customization manual.

Common Vectors

Common definitions are arranged into vectors. A vector is essentially a group of related parameters. An example of a common vector for the Store for Forward server is shown below:

  SFORWPRF  NAME=SFFPRF01,
DATASETS=10,
SEPSESS=N,
MAXACC=200,
SHFLPRF=SFPROF01,
DBDPATH=C:\TELLER\SFORW\,
SPLIT=1024,
KEY02=REC1FL03,
KEY03=REC2FL02

As you can see above, the vector name is specified first, followed by a comma-separated list of parameters. You should put a space before the vector name.

Deciding which Common Vectors to use

When customizing a particular LANDP server, you should first consult the table 'Vectors - a quick reference' on page 44 of the LANDP Installation and Customization manual to find out which (if any) common vectors the server needs. You are then given the appropriate page of the manual that explains the meaning of the common parameters.

Validating Common Definitions

Once you have specified your common vectors, you must validate them to make sure they are correct. For more information on the VALSPEC utility see chapter 7 of the LANDP Installation and Customization manual.
