Understanding the Startup Prerequisites

Before you can start an instance of the Gateway, you must do one of the following:

•	If the Data Object Broker is on z/OS, the server must be identified to the Data Object Broker. To do this, define Gateway resources to the Data Object Broker’s resource management repository file.

•	If the Data Object Broker is on Windows, set up National Language Support, if necessary. Refer to TIBCO Object Service Broker National Language Support for setup and configuration information.

Default Resource Settings (z/OS only)

Use the Resource Management option (option 3) available from the Administration control group of the TIBCO Object Service Broker Administration Menu. You need to use the Resource Details (PF5) and the Resource Schedules (PF10) screens to specify the connection attributes. To get to the Resource Detail screen, you must first specify a type (SERVERTYPE) and group (SERVERID) on the Resource Type screen.

The following table illustrates the attributes for SERVERID=DEFAULT:

 

Resource Details				Resource Schedule
INTERMEDIATE ROLLBK	EARLY RELEASE	LAST USER REUSE	COMMIT LEVEL	ONLINE ONLY
N	Y	N	0	N

 

• If you are accessing IMS data using the CICS interface, the ONLINE ONLY default is Y. The Group ID is the server ID for the Gateway, or job name if USERTYPE=LOCAL. • You can get the Resource Manager to dynamically assign a name that is a combination of the resource type and the group name. This is done using the wildcard facility of the Resource Manager.

Default Settings

The settings of the fields are affected by the values of the following gateway parameters:

•	RESPONSEMODE

•

FSLEVEL

•

USERTYPE

Depending on the values you set in Specifying Gateway Parameters, you must specify the following defaults:

If Gateway Parameter …	Then …
RESPONSEMODE=SYNC	EARLY RELEASE must be set to N.
RESPONSEMODE=ASYNC	EARLY RELEASE must be set to Y.
FSLEVEL=1	COMMIT LEVEL must be set to 1.
USERTYPE=ONLINE	ONLINE ONLY must be set to Y.
USERTYPE=ANY	ONLINE ONLY must be set to N, since the default if using the CICS interface is Y.
USERTYPE=LOCAL	ONLINE ONLY can be set to Y or N.
