This appendix lists all the environment variables that are available on UNIX, and describes how to specify them.
| Environment Variable | Summary |
|---|---|
| CCITCP2 | Locates TCP/IP registration program |
| CCITRACE | Specifies the level of CCI tracing |
| COB_LIVE_RECORD | Specifies the path (optional) and filename prefix for the live recording file (.mfr file) created by the Live Recorder feature.
Note: The live recording file must be replayed on the same operating system as it was created.
|
| COB_LIVE_RECORD_SIZE | Specifies the amount of memory (in MB) that is used to store events that are to be written to the live recording file. This
can help aid performance during recording.
When the limit is reached, the buffer is cycled so that the oldest events are removed to make space for the most recent events. The default value is 268. the minimum value is 67, and the maximum value is dependant on your environment (available memory, bitism, etc...). You may need to experiment with this value to find the most optimal setting, but for 32-bit systems, a range between 500 and 1000 is adequate. For example: COB_LIVE_RECORD_SIZE=756 Note: This is not the actual size of the live recording file that is stored on disk, as the event log is compressed when writing
to the file.
