Starting Observe system

To let HULFT accept a request from a remote host, you must start the Observe job first.

The Observe job starts only if the System Environment Settings file (HULENV) is recognized. The job does not start if a parameter error occurred at startup.

At the time of startup, some parameters are handed over from resident jobs to the jobs to start. For details, refer to the explanation on the start and end procedures in Administration Manual.

For the System Environment Settings file, refer to Administration Manual.

Explanation of parameters

Specify this parameter as an alphanumeric character string of 10 bytes or less starting with an alphabet.

OUTPUT=filename

Note

When you start the Observe job, setting the CCSID (Coded Character Set Identifier) to a value other than 65535 may cause incorrect behaviors in the communication to/from the Send Acknowledge job or the Receive Acknowledge job and in the access to records in management information.
If you set the JOBMSGQFL (Job message queue full action) to "*NOWRAP", HULFT resident jobs may not work in some cases when the Job message queue becomes full.
