Chapter 3. Operating NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS - IBM

This name is used:
� To identify your NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS in the checkpoint records that
the servers write during file transfers when receiving. Using this name
enables any server running within your network node to process a transfer
restart.
� As a default for the node name of the local recipient of the file-transfer
report, if no node name was specified in the request.
You can use this name when you define your local NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS
in your own server group table. The other installations in your network can
also use this name when they define your NetView FTP in their server group
tables. The relationship between NFTPNAME and the server group table are
shown in Chapter 7, “Setting Up a Server Group Table” on page 85.
You must specify NFTPNAME, the name can be up to eight alphanumeric characters
long, starting with a letter.
Maximum Number of Servers
MAXSRV defines how many servers can be started on a system. The queue
handler rejects any attempt to start a server if this limit has already been
reached.
MAXSRV can have any value between 1 and 99. The default value is 20.
┌─2�─┐ ►►──MAXSRV= ─┴─n──┴─────────────────────────────────────────────►◄ Server Prefix
SRVPREF is a common prefix for the names of the cataloged procedures for
your servers. This enables the operator to specify only the numeric suffix when
starting and stopping a server from the console. SRVPREF can be up to six
alphanumeric characters, following the rules for such names in MVS.
The default prefix is FTPSRV.
┌─FTPSRV─┐ ►►──SRVPREF= ─┴─name───┴────────────────────────────────────────►◄ Delay Time
DELAY defines the minimum amount of time that requests are to be left in the
request queue after they have been given the status finished.
If the queue handler rebuilds the request queue and encounters a finished
request for which the delay time has elapsed, it deletes it from the request
queue.
Keeping a request in the request queue lets the user query the file-transfer
request even after the corresponding file transfer has finished. Specifying a
long delay time can lead to the request queue filling up. The delay time is
specified in hours, and can be from 0 to 999. The default value is 48.
