General Enterprise Server Environment Variables

The following environment variables are applicable to all components of Enterprise Server.

ES_CAS_API

Indicates whether casout or cassub has been executed by a call and not from the command line.

ES_CONSOLE_LOG

Sends console messages to the Windows Event Log.

ES_CSKL_NO_MSG_CONSOLE

Stops CSKL writing messages to console.log.

ES_ELAPSED_DISPATCH_SECONDS

Enables you to specify how frequently casmgr will check for JOBs in the waiting state, in seconds (s), and then start them. The default value is every 5 seconds.

ES_ESM_DISABLE_DFLTUSER_ESMAC

Allows you to disable the default ESMAC user in order to increase the security of your server. Disables the DEFAULT button on the logon screen and forces users to always enter a valid userid and password.

ES_ESMAC_DISP_MAX_OVERRIDE

The number of items displayed in the ESMAC catalog view or lines displayed in a SYSOUT file from the job list view.

ES_LEGACY_ECI

Indicates that Enterprise Server must use Micro Focus ECI instead of IBM CTG.

ES_MAX_CATALOG_LINES

Restricts the number of entries displayed in ESMAC catalog view, and the default is 5000.

ES_MAX_HTTP_OUT [14]

Specifies the maximum size (in bytes) of the HTTP response sent by Enterprise Server.

Note: Previously, this was only controlled by the HTTP Out field on the ESCWA ES Control page.

ES_MEM_STRATEGY

Selects the types of memory processes supported.

ES_OTMA_TIMEOUT

The time that an OTMA client should wait for an answer.

ES_SEP_DORMANT_TIME

Allows override of Transient SEP dormant time.

ES_SERVER

Server name (used if no -r switch is specified on casstart or casstop).

ES_SYSOUT_HOLD

The status of the SYSOUT files are set to Out Hold.

ES_USR_DFLT_ESMAC

Allows you to override the default user when no user is logged on for ESMAC authentication.

ES_WS_RUNAWAY_TIMEOUT

Time in seconds that the client will wait for a response from the web service. Valid values are 0 to 65535 seconds.

ISPPROF

The location of ISPF dialog profiles.

JAVA_HOME

Specifies the location of the JDK.

MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT

Specifies the format to use for floating point data items. Possible formats are IBM hexadecimal and IEEE.

Syntax

SET MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT=fpstatus

Parameters

fpstatus Which format to use for floating point data items. This must be one of:

• true Specifies that IBM hexadecimal format floating point data items are to be used.
• false Specifies that IEEE format floating point data items are to be used.

Setting MAINFRAME_FLOATING_POINT to anything other than true has the same effect as setting it to false.

The setting of this environment variable can be overridden by the NATIVE-FLOATING-POINT directive.

MF_AMODE31ONLY

Indicates that all programs are AMODE(31).

MF_CHARSET

Specifies the system character set (ASCII or EBCDIC).

MF_USESCA5

Specifies that the server should use version 5 of the Open Service Component Architecture.

Values:

• ON (Default)
• OFF

MFCODESET

Specifies which translation tables to use.

Values

• On UNIX platforms (requires ):A pre-defined country code:
  Important: To specify a Euro codeset, meaning that it includes the Euro symbol (€), prefix an "E" to the appropriate country code listed below. A country code with no "E" prefix indicates a non-Euro code.

  Country Code (MFCODESET)	EBCDIC CCSIDs	Language
  AUTOMATIC AUTO		Operating system default - sets country code based on CBL_GET_OS_INFO
  DEFAULT		Set to 0437 (US English) on Windows, or 0081 (Japanese Katakana Extended) on Japanese Windows.
  0031	37, 1140	Dutch

  Character sets marked with an asterisk (*) are capable of mixed single-byte and double-byte character translation. EBCDIC CCSIDs in these rows indicate the mixed-byte CCSID first, followed by the single-byte, then double-byte Code Page Global Identifiers (CPGIDs) in parenthesis.

  Other EBCDIC CCSIDs in parentheses reflect a 'non-Euro, Euro' pair for appropriate country codes.

  For database applications using a DBMS server on Windows, use the table above.

  For Windows and UNIX database applications accessing a UNIX database created with single-byte character sets 819 or 923, use the following table:

  Country Code (MFCODESET)	EBCDIC CCSIDs	Languages
  1140	37,1140	Dutch US English Portuguese
  1141	273,1141	German (Austrian) German
  1142	277,1142	Danish Norwegian
  1143	278,1143	Swedish Finnish
  1144	280,1144	Italian
  1145	284,1145	Spanish
  1146	285,1146	UK English
  1147	297,1147	French
  1148	500,1148	International (Latin 1)

If you are not using UK or US language settings, you must also set the codepage in your PC environment settings:

• Right click My Computer.
• Select Properties.
• Click Advanced system settings.
• Click Environment Variables.
• Under System Variables click New.
• Enter MFCODESET as Variable name and XXXX as Variable value, where XXXX is your chosen codepage.

MFCSCFG

Specifies a configuration file to be used by the Client/Server Binding client program.

Syntax

SET MFCSCFG=filename

Parameters

filename The name of the configuration file.

Example

SET MFCSCFG=/home/mydir/mfclisrv.cfg

Comments

The value of MFCSCFG is overridden by any value defined in the command line. If neither of the above yields a filename, the default filename mfclisrv.cfg is assumed, and is searched for in the current directory. If that in turn is not found, the default settings for the configuration entries are used.

MFEXTMAP

Location of a mapper file.

MFLOGDIR

Specifies a directory to be used by Client/Server Binding for log files.

Syntax

SET MFLOGDIR=dirname

Parameters

dirname The name of the directory for log files.

Example

SET MFLOGDIR=/home/mydir/logs

MFLECONFIG

Specifies a configuration file for Language Environment (LE) runtime options.

Syntax

SET MFLECONFIG=filename

Parameters

filename The file containing the LE runtime options you want to use.

MFPRELOAD_USE

Calls MFPRELOAD to improve perfomance.

MFRU_NOINHERIT

Determines if processes are registered in shared memory during initialisation of the run-time system. COBRT105 errors can occur during initialisation if a very large number of COBOL processes are running and there are no available slots in the shared memory segment - setting this variable to Y or TRUE skips the registration process. However, when set to Y, various run-time settings (switches, shared memory, console window settings, etc...) are no longer inherited by any child processes.

When the variable is not set (which is the default), the registration process is not skipped.

Syntax

SET MFRU_NOINHERIT=Y|TRUE

The default is that the variable is not set.

MFSUB

Specifies whether to use SUBI or ASUBI.

MFSYSCATDIR

The location of the system catalog directory.

MFUSER

Default user ID.

MFUSERCAT_LOC

The fully-qualified name of the SMS dataset.

MULTMFENTMAP

Specifies whether special characters such as < and & are replaced with the equivalent HTML entities (for example &lt; and &amp;).

OOSW

OO run-time switches.

USER

Default user name.
