Generic Fileshare Configuration

This may also be described as Record Level I/O especially when the Fileshare Server is running on a mainframe system.

The section CCI Configuration in the protocol specific CCI Configuration for Applications section below, describes the prerequisite CCI configuration for each protocol, which must be completed prior to its successful use with Fileshare.

Once the underlying protocol support has been configured correctly for use with CCI the following CCI parameters in Fileshare must be configured as described below:

• Communication Module Parameter

  This is specified using the FSCOMMS environment variable or the Fileshare Server /CM parameter or the /CM parameter in the FHREDIR.CFG Fileshare Client configuration file.

• Server Name Parameter

  This is specified using the FSSERVER environment variable or the Fileshare Server /S parameter or the /S parameter in the FHREDIR.CFG Fileshare Client configuration file.

  Specify the Server Name of the Fileshare Server as described in the section Server Name guide for the CCI Configuration being used.

  For example,

  SET FSCOMMS=Server-Name 

  or in FHREDIR.CFG:

  /S
  				Server-Name

• Machine Name Parameter

  This is specified using the /MA parameter in the FHREDIR.CFG Fileshare Client configuration file. Note that the /MA parameter must be on the same FHREDIR.CFG text line as a matching /S parameter.

  Specify the Machine Name as described in the section Machine Name guide for the CCI Configuration being used.

For example, in FHREDIR.CFG:

/MA Machine-Name /S Server-Name

Note that Fileshare has a limit of 64 characters for the /MA parameter.
