Adding a rule
-
Log on to MFA Compare and Synchronization Monitor:
- From Eclipse, on the Run menu, select .
- From an Enterprise Developer command prompt, enter mfmonmx2.
-
On the main toolbar, click
(Add new rule).
The Check Data Set Type dialog box appears.
-
Type the name of the data set to synchronize, set the organization type (if required), then click
OK.
If the data set is valid, the Add Rule dialog screen appears.
-
Click the box below
Sync Mode and select one of the following:
- BOTH - changes on either the mainframe or the workstation are synchronized
- UPLOAD - only changes on the workstation are synchronized to the mainframe
- DOWNLOAD - only changes on the mainframe are synchronized to the workstation
- MONITOR - mimics the BOTH setting without changes being made
- Click Binary Data Transfer to transfer PDS data sets in binary format.
- In the Member Type field, specify the type of member contained in an Endevor, Panvalet or Librarian container, if appropriate.
-
If required, click
Advanced and select one or more of the following options:
Note: These options apply to all active rules.
- Delete workstation file if mainframe member is deleted - during synchronization, if a member has been deleted on the mainframe, it will also be deleted on the workstation.
- Delete workstation folder if library is deleted - during synchronization, if a library has been deleted on the mainframe, the workstation folder is also deleted if it contains no other synchronized members.
- Handle embedded hex in MF MDECONV format - uses the MDECONV technique to deal with embedded hex values, that is, all translated hex values less than x'1f' have a null character inserted before the hex value, and the COBOL run-time system handles these embedded hex values.
- Suppress embedded hex warning messages - pop-up messages when a non-printing character is received from the mainframe are not displayed; an entry is recorded in the log file instead.
-
If required, click
Filters, then add a simple or advanced filter:
- To add a simple filter, in the Simple Filter field, enter a filter (for example AA* filters only on data sets that start AA), then click OK.
- To add an advanced filter, click Use Advanced Filters, Add Filters, click the required filter and select how the filter should work (Include or Exclude), then click OK.
- In the Directory field, enter the path of a workstation directiory to use for synchronization.
- In the File Extension field, enter the extension that will be applied to each member synchronized to the workstation.
-
Click
OK.
The rule appears on the main screen.
