Overview

UCMD Server configuration consists of defining runtime and default values. This section describes the Server configuration options.

Manager Override

A UCMD Manager can specify certain UCMD Server configuration options when it makes its request for command execution to the UCMD Server. The UCMD Manager command line option -server is used to specify UCMD Server options.

Which options are available for UCMD Manager override depend on the UCMD Server platform and release. The configuration options listed below describe the UCMD Manager override option only if applicable. If the option is not listed, than no UCMD Manager override is available.

The UCMD Manager is not notified of override errors. The UCMD Server logs the error and continues processing the request.

Configuration File

The configuration file provides the simplest method of specifying configuration options whose values you do not want changed with each command invocation.

Configuration options are specified in the UCMD Server configuration file. The configuration file name is specified in the UCMD Server component definition. The default file name is UNVPRD511/UNVCONF(UCMDS). This file can be edited manually with any text editor (for example, Notepad or Source Edit Utility (SEU)).
