Be sure to verify the contents of your kit with this information. If your kit is damaged or if you find 1-1 Preparing to Install BASEstar Open Server 1.2 Checking the Contents of the Distribution Kit that parts of it are missing, contact your Digital representative. Digital provides a BASEstar Open Server cover letter with the kit, and online release notes in the following files: o SYS$HELP:BSTROVA.RELEASE_NOTES (OpenVMS Alpha) o SYS$HELP:BSTROVV030.RELEASE_NOTES (OpenVMS VAX) Digital strongly recommends that you read both the cover letter and the release notes before proceeding with the installation. 1.3 Required Operating System Components Both the OpenVMS Alpha and the OpenVMS VAX operating systems come with a variety of support options, or classes. Classes include such features as networking and RMS Journaling. For a complete list of the required classes, refer to the BASEstar Open Server Software Product Description (SPD). 1.4 Pre-requisite Hardware Table 1-2 describes the hardware items needed to install BASEstar Open Server. 1-2 Preparing to Install BASEstar Open Server 1.4 Pre-requisite Hardware Table 1-2 Hardware Requirements for Installing BASEstar __________Open_Server______________________________________ Item_________________________________Purpose_______________ RRD40 CD Reader[1] To install from media RRD40 CD Reader, nine-track magnetic tape drive, TK50 or TK70 as appropriate for distribution kit media[2] ANSI-compatible video display To communicate terminal such as the VT300 or VT400 with the Operating series System and respond to prompts. Any VAXstation[2] or terminal that For graphic screen supports the X Window System development. [1]For_OpenVMS_Alpha_only._________________________________ [2]For OpenVMS VAX only. ___________________________________________________________ 1.5 Pre-requisite Software You can install BASEstar Open Server Version 3.0 on: o OpenVMS Version 6.1 or 6.2 The pre-requisite software also includes the following layered products: o DEC TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS o DEC Rdb for OpenVMS (optional) o DECnet OSI (for certain DASes) o OSAK (for MMS DASes only) For further details of these products, including the currently supported version numbers, refer to the BASEstar Open Server Software Product Description (SPD 47.87.xx). The following command displays the OpenVMS operating system version that you are running: $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("VERSION") 1-3 Preparing to Install BASEstar Open Server 1.6 Pre-requisite Licenses 1.6 Pre-requisite Licenses Before you install and run BASEstar Open Server Version 3.0 on a newly-licensed node or cluster, you must first register a License Product Authorization Key (License PAK) using the License Management Facility (LMF). The License PAK may be shipped along with the kit if you ordered the license and media together; otherwise, it is shipped separately to a location based on your license order. If you are installing BASEstar Open Server as an update on a node or cluster already licensed for this software, you have already completed the License PAK registration requirements. Refer to the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual for further information about the License Management Utility. VMSINSTAL checks which license has been installed and installs the required components of the BASEstar Open Server for OpenVMS (VAX or Alpha) kit. If no license is installed, VMSINSTAL only installs the components for the runtime option of BASEstar Open Server, and asks if you wish to continue with the installation. If you respond affirmatively, the IVP is not executed and BASEstar Open Server will not run. However, if a valid license is installed later, you can still run BASEstar Open Server. If you are installing pre-requisite or optional software along with BASEstar Open Server, review the PAK status and install the PAKs for any pre-requisite or optional software before you install BASEstar Open Server. Refer to the BASEstar Open Server Software Product Description for further details of the licenses available for BASEstar Open Server. 1.7 Backing Up Your System Disk At the beginning of the installation, the procedure asks if you have backed up your system disk. Digital recommends that you do a system disk backup before installing any software. If a system failure occurs at a critical point during the installation, some of the files could be corrupted. For further information about backing up your system disk, refer to the section on the Backup Utility in the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. 1-4 Preparing to Install BASEstar Open Server 1.7 Backing Up Your System Disk Also ensure that the VMS Help library is not used during the period of the BASEstar Open Server installation. 1.8 Preparing Your System This section discusses the disk space and the privileges and parameter values that are required for installing BASEstar Open Server for OpenVMS (Alpha and VAX). VMSINSTAL asks if you wish to install DEComni; answer no if you do not wish to do so. Account privileges, quotas, and system parameters vary according to whether or not VMSINSTAL performs the DEComni installation. If you are running a multiversion of DEC Rdb, you must choose the version to be used before installing BASEstar Open Server, by running the following command line: $ @SYS$LIBRARY:RDBVMS_SETVER version_number VMSINSTAL checks for the required values and reports any errors before deciding if to fail. 1.8.1 Account Privileges To install BASEstar Open Server, you must be logged in to the system management account SYSTEM, and have ALL privileges set. If you are not logged into the SYSTEM account and VMSINSTAL will be installing or reinstalling DEComni, the BASEstar Open Server installation procedure warns you that DEComni IVP will not be able to be run. Note that the installation procedure, VMSINSTAL, turns off BYPASS privilege at the start of the installation. 1.8.2 Disk Space Requirements To install BASEstar Open Server, you require at least 109,000 blocks (Alpha systems) or 83,000 blocks (VAX systems) of free disk space (peak block count) on your system disk.

It also describes installation preparation, preliminary steps, and provides an overview of cluster installation. 5.1 Overview The BASEstar installation procedures allow you to customize each BASEstar system by installing only those system components you want for the target system. You can install BASEstar software on a single node or on a cluster system, provided the cluster member nodes share the same system disk. The main BASEstar installation procedure is mandatory for all BASEstar systems and installs basic application integration features, such as application synchronization and control and distributed name services. The main installation procedure has options, including the ability to install the BASEstar menu interface, BASEstar data management capabilities and BASEstar external data support. 5.2 Main Installation Options Since the processing requirements for each node within your manufacturing system are distinct, the first step in installing BASEstar software is to determine which BASEstar components should be installed on each system. 5-1 Before Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 5.3 Installation of the Device Connection Management Software 5.3 Installation of the Device Connection Management Software BASEstar device connection management software is installed after the main BASEstar installation procedure is complete. In order to communicate with plant equipment, BASEstar device access software (DAS) must also be installed for the industrial control devices used at each BASEstar site. Consult the manufacturing system designer or user group to understand which, if any, of this additional software must be installed. The BASEstar device connection management installation procedure will conditionally install its menu interface component if the BASEstar menu system was installed during the main installation procedure. The device connection management installation procedure also includes installation of BASEstar device access software for RS- 232 devices, DECnet and TCP/IP networks, and the DECdevice device communication module. Refer to the BASEstar Open Guide to DCM-Modeled Device Connectivity for information on how to configure and use these DAS modules. 5.4 Distribution Kit The DCM software is available with the BASEstar Open kit, as the following software savesets: o BCCM033 - BASEstar application integration software o DCMM033 - BASEstar device connection management software BASEstar technical documentation is available in either a development media kit or a run-time media kit. The run-time kit contains Volumes 1 and 2 of the documentation, and the development kit contains Volumes 1 to 4. 5.5 Pre-requisite Hardware Refer to Section 1.4 for more information on the hardware required for the installation of DCM with BASEstar Open. 5.6 Pre-requisite and Optional Software Refer to Section 1.5 for more information on the software required for the installation of DCM with BASEstar Open. 5-2 Before Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 5.7 Pre-installation Steps 5.7 Pre-installation Steps Perform these tasks before installing BASEstar software: 1. Ensure OpenVMS, Version 5.3 or higher is installed on the system. OpenVMS VAX Version, 5.3 or higher must be installed on each system planned for installation of BASEstar software. 2. Ensure DECnet software is configured on your system. DECnet software must be configured in order to install BASEstar software. 3. Install the BASEstar Open product license. Before you install and run the DCM software on a newly licensed node or cluster, you must first ensure that valid license for BASEstar Open has been installed. Table 5-1 shows the statuses of the licenses listed during the main BASEstar installation. Table_5-1_BASEstar_Licenses________________________________ License__________Availability______________________________ BASESTAR Available BASESTAR-RT Available BASESTAR-CU Available BASESTAR-LTD No longer available BASESTAR-RT-LTD No longer available BASESTAR-G Not yet available BASESTAR-RT-G Not yet available BASESTAR-USER____Not_yet_available_________________________ When performing a DCM installation, it is necessary to preload the licenses you want to use to authorize the use of DCM on the target node. A new license called BASESTAR-CU has been added for BASEstar Version 3.2. This license allows you to license a BASEstar system 5-3 Before Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 5.7 Pre-installation Steps based on the maximum number of logical points residing on the target system. At installation, the BASESTAR-CU license is checked for its presence and the installation procedure verifies that the number of logical points is less than the number licensed at startup. If the BASEstar parameter BCC$MAX_POINTS exceeds the number of units specified in the BASESTAR-CU license, the system cannot be started. 4. Verify minimum run-time system parameters. Table 5-2 describes the system parameter values recommended for the minimum run-time BASEstar configuration. Table_5-2_BASEstar_Minimum_System_Parameter_Values_________ MODPARAMS.DAT_Entries______Minimum_Value___________________ GBLSECTIONS 250 GBLPAGFIL 4,096 GBLPAGES 18,000 CTLPAGES 60 LOCKIDTBL 2,048 RESHASHTBL 512 MAXPROCESSCNT 35 BALSETCNT 33 VIRTUALPAGECNT 25,000 MAXBUF 4,096 SCSSYSTEMID________________________________________________ Since these values represent minimum BASEstar run-time system parameter settings, you may need to adjust their values as required for systems larger than the minimum BASEstar hardware configuration or for systems running software in addition to BASEstar applications. For example, if you are using BASEstar library management and need to use large libraries, use the following steps to adjust the system parameter GBLPAGES: 5. Stop interactive processes and disable logins. 5-4 Before Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 5.7 Pre-installation Steps Ensure that all BASEstar users have logged out and no other users can log in to the system during the installation. To disable users from logging in, enter: $ SET LOGINS/INTERACTIVE=0 Re-enable logins after the installation is complete. Refer to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual for more information on logins. 6. Stop batch queues. To stop the batch queues, enter: $ STOP/QUEUE/NEXT batch_queue_name 7. Stop the BASEstar system. If performing an upgrade of existing BASEstar software, ensure the current version of the system is not running. Stopping the BASEstar system also stops device connection management and all user-written BASEstar applications. To stop the BASEstar system, enter: $ BSTAR STOP SYSTEM 8. Check VMSINSTAL requirements. VMSINSTAL requires that the system account used to install BASEstar software have a minimum of the following quotas: o ASTLM=24 o BIOLM=18 o BYTLM=18,000 o DIOLM=18 o ENQLM=30 o FILLM=20 If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation, it notifies you and asks if you want to continue the installation. In some instances, you can enter Y to continue. To stop the installation process and correct the situation, enter N or press Return. Then correct the problem and restart the installation. 9. Back up the system disk. 5-5 Before Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 5.7 Pre-installation Steps Back up the system disk before installing the BASEstar software. This backup is a protection in the event of disk corruption or accidental changes or deletions during installation. The procedure for backing up the system disk is described in the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual. 10.Review release notes. To read or print out the release notes included in the BASEstar distribution kit, invoke VMSINSTAL in the following manner: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL BCCM033 mtcu: OPTIONS N Release notes included with this kit are always copied to SYS$HELP. Additional Release Notes Options: 1. Display release notes 2. Print release notes 3. Both 1 and 2 4.

Continue with instructions in this chapter for installing additional BASEstar software or consult Chapter 7 for post- installation tasks. 6-13 7 _________________________________________________________________ After Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager This chapter describes the Device Connection Manager post- installation tasks. 7.1 The Device Connection Manager Post-installation Procedures When you have completed the Device Connection Manager installation procedures, log in to the system manager's account and perform the following steps: 1. Delete BASEstar Ada files if not needed (optional). Certain Ada declarations files are rather large; if no Ada programming will be done at your site, you may want to delete the file SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]BCC_.ADA (~1400 blocks) and the ILAN*.ADA files in that same directory. 2. Back up the system disk. Back up the system disk after installing BASEstar software. The procedure for backing up the system disk is described in the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual. 3. Edit the system startup procedure. If you want BASEstar software to automatically start when the system boots, add the following line to the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file: $ @SYS$STARTUP:BCC$STARTUP.COM To automatically start BASEstar device connection management when the system boots, add the following line to the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file: $ @SYS$STARTUP:ILAN$STARTUP.COM 7-1 After Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 7.1 The Device Connection Manager Post-installation Procedures To automatically start BASEstar library management when the system boots, add the following line to the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file: $ @SYS$STARTUP:BCCLIB$STARTUP.COM For a new installation, this procedure creates the library management database files and associated global sections. During an upgrade installation, this command procedure locates the existing database files and creates the library management database global sections. 4. Set process quotas. Ensure BASEstar user processes have quotas equal to or greater than those listed in Table 7-1. Table_7-1_Process_Resource_Limits__________________________ Minimum Limit________Value________Description______________________ ASTLM 100 AST queue limit BIOLM 80 Buffered I/O count limit BYTLM 20,000 I/O byte count limit DIOLM 80 Direct I/O count limit ENQLM 200 Enqueue quota FILLM 100 Open file limit PGFLQUO 20,000 Paging file limit PRCLM 6 Subprocess creation limit TQELM 20 Timer queue entry limit WSDEF 500 Default working set size WSEXTENT 1,500 Working set extent WSQUO___________800_______Working_set_quota________________ 5. Select BASEstar users. Grant the BCC$USER identifier to the SYSTEM account and /or any other accounts you will be using to start or stop the BASEstar system using the VMS Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE) as follows: UAF> GRANT/IDENTIFIER BCC$USER username where username is the name of the user account. 7-2 After Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 7.1 The Device Connection Manager Post-installation Procedures 6. Set privileges. Ensure that each BASEstar user has the following minimum OpenVMS privileges: o TMPMBX o NETMBX 7. Edit SYS$STARTUP:BCC$STARTUP.COM if you installed the Monitor BASEstar utility. Edit the file SYS$STARTUP:BCC$STARTUP.COM to include the following line: $ DEFINE/NOLOG/SYSTEM BCC$MONITOR_DATA - BCC$SYSDATA:BCC$MON_BSTAR_APP.DAT 8. Edit BCC$SYSDATA:BCC$SYSTEM_STARTUP.COM File You should modify the BCC$SYSDATA:BCC$SYSTEM_STARTUP.COM file on every node in the domain to include a single DCL command that executes a 20 second wait after starting the BCC$DISPATCHER process and before starting the BCC$LOGGER process. This modification temporarily fixes a problem found on some faster machines where processes were accessing BCC$DISPATCHER data before it was ready. This premature access caused BASEstar to crash on startup and threatened to crash the system. This problem will be fixed in a future release. Modify the BCC$SYSDATA:BCC$SYSTEM_STARTUP.COM file as follows: 7-3 After Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 7.1 The Device Connection Manager Post-installation Procedures /MAILBOX='F$GETDVI("BCC$TERMINATION_MAILBOX","UNIT") - /ERROR=BCC$SYSDATA:BCC$DISPATCHER.ERR - /OUTPUT=BCC$SYSDATA:BCC$DISPATCHER.LOG - /PROCESS=BCC$DISPATCHER - /PRIORITY=8 - BCC$SYSTEM:BCC$DISPATCHER.EXE >>>$! >>>$! wait to give the dispatcher a chance to initialize the >>>$! message global section before other processes begin >>>$! mapping to it. >>>$! >>>$ wait 0:00:20.00 $! $!

Ensure DECnet is running. BASEstar software will not run unless DECnet software is running. If DECnet is stopped, BASEstar software will shut down. 10.Start BASEstar software. BASEstar software can be started from the SYSTEM account after this account has been granted the BCC$USER identifier. It can also be started from any account having the privileges listed in Table 7-2. These privileges must be in the account's Authorized Privilege list and are added using AUTHORIZE. Table 7-2 VMS Privileges Required to Start BASEstar __________Software_________________________________________ ALTPRI DETACH LOG_IO (continued on next page) 7-4 After Installing the BASEstar Classic Device Manager 7.1 The Device Connection Manager Post-installation Procedures Table 7-2 (Cont.) VMS Privileges Required to Start BASEstar __________________Software_________________________________ NETMBX PHY_IO PSWAPM SHARE SYSGBL SYSLCK ____________SYSNAM______TMPMBX_____________________________ Though accounts used to start BASEstar require these privileges in their Authorized Privilege list, they do not require them in their Default Privilege list for security reasons. Table 7-2 represents the minimum privileges needed by all BASEstar processes and applications. Some BASEstar processes may not need all privileges and can be started with only a subset. Whenever new applications need additional privileges not in this list, the additional privileges can be added to the account's Authorized Privilege list. The new privileges are in effect only after the user logs out and logs back in. ________________________ Note ________________________ The SYSTEM account must be granted the BCC$USER identifier regardless of whether it will be used to start BASEstar. Failure to grant the BCC$USER identifier to the SYSTEM account will cause BASEstar startup attempts to fail. ______________________________________________________ To start BASEstar software, enter the following command at the DCL prompt: $ BSTAR START SYSTEM 11.Device Connection Manager Logicals Generated All logical names created by the Device Connection Manager installation procedures are /SYSTEM logical names. The logical names do not exist until the appropriate SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYS$STARTUP]xxxxxx$STARTUP.COM procedure is invoked. Table D-6 lists the logical names created by the installations. 7-5 Environment Management _________________________________________________________________ 8 _________________________________________________________________ Introduction to Environment Management An application consists of a set of application components; that is, user-written programs and BASEstar Open-supplied servers running on a distributed system configuration, including various types of computers, plant devices and cables. To provide users with transparent access to BASEstar Open objects, regardless of their physical location in the distributed system, you must prepare your BASEstar Open environment. For example, you must set up and start up Nodes and Realms. 8.1 Environment Management Overview This section provides an overview of the BASEstar Open environment management operations. Setting Up BASEstar Open To set up BASEstar Open, you must set up Nodes and Realms. Setting up a Node involves creating the static resources (directories, files and environment-specific components) that enable a system of any supported platform to function as a BASEstar Open Node. Setting up a Realm involves creating directories and files that contain object definitions within a Realm. Starting Up BASEstar Open To make the BASEstar Open environment available to users, you must start up Nodes and Realms. Shutting Down BASEstar Open To make BASEstar Open unavailable to users, you must shut down Nodes and Realms in an orderly fashion. 8-1 Introduction to Environment Management 8.1 Environment Management Overview Unsetting BASEstar Open To unset BASEstar Open, you must delete Realm and Node directories and files, and the database containing the Realm object definitions. Monitoring BASEstar Open At any time, you can establish whether the BASEstar Open environment has been set up and started up successfully on Nodes and Realms. For example, you can display the list of the Realms available (that is, started up) on a given Node. 8.2 Environment and Application Components Relationship Once you have completed the setup and startup operations for the BASEstar Open environment, you can request the Application Management Services to start up, monitor, and shut down the application components (that is, user-written programs and BASEstar Open-supplied servers). When you shut down BASEstar Open, you must first shut down the application components and then the environment components. You can shut down the application components using, for example, the Application Management Services. The BASEstar Open Command Language Interface describes how to configure, start up and shut down the application components using Application Management Services features. Chapter 9 describes the procedures that you must use to set up, start up, shut down and unset the environment components. 8.3 BASEstar Open Environment Components The components of a BASEstar Open environment are: o Nodes o PODB Nodes o Realms In this context, Nodes and Realms are not considered as objects, but as a set of environment components that make Nodes and Realms available in the multi-Node, multi- platform, distributed BASEstar Open environment. 8-2 Introduction to Environment Management 8.3 BASEstar Open Environment Components 8.3.1 Nodes A BASEstar Open Node is a computer of any of the supported platforms on which BASEstar Open has been installed and set up. To make a Node available in the BASEstar Open environment you must start up its components by executing the bstr_node_start command. The following are Node-specific components: o Log Services o Watchdog o Name Service Each of these components is described in the sections that follow. See also Appendix I for information about the processes that implement components on each platform. Log Services On each Node, the Log Services server collects log information from Node-specific environment components and from the environment components of the Realms that are started up on such Node. The Log Services server writes the collected information to the appropriate log files. For information about Log Services features and functions, and about how to display and manage log files, refer to Chapter 14 and Chapter 15 . Watchdog The Watchdog component of a Node checks periodically the availability of other Nodes. If a Node is unavailable, the Watchdog notifies the relevant components. Name Service The Name Service component of a Node makes internal symbols and their values unique and globally available to BASEstar Open. The Name Service is made up of client and server parts: o A Name Service client process must be active on each Node o The Name Service server must be started up on one Node of the distributed BASEstar Open multi-node environment. 8-3 Introduction to Environment Management 8.3 BASEstar Open Environment Components The Name Service server is fundamental to the availability of the BASEstar Open environment. If the server fails, the BASEstar Open environment becomes unavailable. To avoid this, a redundancy mechanism is provided which is based on a primary and a secondary copy of the Name Service server. When the Nodes are started up, the primary copy is activated on the specified Node and becomes the current Name Service server. At the same time, the secondary copy is activated in stand-by mode on another Node. If the current Name Service server fails or becomes unavailable for any reason, BASEstar Open activates the secondary copy, which becomes the current one. The Node setup procedure is used to specify on which Nodes the primary and secondary copies are to be activated. 8.3.2 PODB Nodes When you set up the BASEstar Open environment, you can decide which BASEstar Open Nodes act as PODB Nodes (that is, contain the PODB object definitions). However, bear in mind the following considerations: o You can only designate ONE Node to act as the PODB Node for a given Realm o It is possible to designate a given Node as the PODB Node for different Realms. The example in Section 8.3.4 illustrates that NODE_DB has been set up as the PODB Node for both MY_REALM and TS_REALM. Alternatively, you could set up NODE_DB as the PODB Node for MY_REALM, and NODE1 (or NODE2) as the PODB Node for TS_REALM. BASEstar Open supports various databases for the storage of PODB object definitions. On OpenVMS Nodes, you can use an VAX Rdb/VMS database. When you start up your environment, you must also start up the Database Services server on the PODB Node of each Realm that requires object definitions to be stored in the PODB. 8-4 Introduction to Environment Management 8.3 BASEstar Open Environment Components 8.3.3 Realms User-written application processes and BASEstar Open- supplied servers are the application components of each Realm. These components are managed directly by the end- users through the Application Management Services or from the command interpreter. Before starting up Realm application components, you must start up the Realm environment components on the appropriate Node(s). When you start up a Realm on a Node, BASEstar Open activates the following environment components: o Communication Service o Global Object Services server o Application Management Services server o Database Services server o PC Communication server BASEstar Open activates the per Node Realm-specific components when you execute the bstr_realm_start command. A brief description of these components is given below. Communication Service The Communication Service allows transparent communication between application and environment components of a Realm. This communication is independent of the number of Nodes on which the Realm has been started up. For example, the Communication Service features allow you to access a Data_Point (through an API or a CLI service request) without needing to know the physical location of the Data & Device Services server that makes the Data_Point available. Global Object Services Server Global Object Services servers make global objects available in a Realm. Global objects are those that already exist before servers that use them can be started up. For example, a Data & Device Services server must already find the associated Domain in the VODB, otherwise it could not create objects in the VODB. 8-5 Introduction to Environment Management 8.3 BASEstar Open Environment Components Global objects also include those objects that must be globally available in the Realm to all the other servers. For example, the same Datatype could be referred to by Event Services and Data & Device Services objects, and therefore it must be available in the Realm, regardless of whether any other server is available. A Global Object Services server is started up on each Node where a Realm is started up. This allows distributed management of the global objects; all the Global Object Services servers of a distributed Realm work together to make available to any user or to other servers all the same global objects independently of their location. Application Management Services Server When you start up a Realm on a given Node, the Application Management Services server is also activated and makes the Application Management Services objects and features available on that Node. This enables users at any Realm Node to request services such as executing, suspending, resuming and terminating Activities. As soon as you start up the Realm on other Nodes, an Application Management Services server is activated on each of them, thus allowing distributed management of the Realm application components. For example, you can execute an Activity on a Realm Node from any Node of the Realm. As another example, if a Realm Node fails, the Application Management Services servers running on the other Nodes of the Realm cooperate to restart the Realm application components on the Node(s) specified by the user in the configuration. To provide such dynamic and distributed services, the Application Management Services servers of a Realm continuously notify each other of their respective availability and operations in progress. PC Communication Server One PC Communication server is activated on a Node when a Realm is started up on that Node. BASEstar Open applications running on client Nodes can operate in transparent mode on the objects of a Realm through any PC Communication server active for that Realm. This is 8-6 Introduction to Environment Management 8.3 BASEstar Open Environment Components independent of the Realm Node on which the servers that make these objects available have been started. See the BASEstar Open Client Management Guide for details of how to install, configure and manage BASEstar Open Client on PC platforms. Database Services Server It is recommended that you activate a Database Services server on the Realm PODB Node. You only need to start up a Database Services server for Realms that require object definitions to be stored in the Permanent Object Database. The Database Services server is activated when the bstr_ realm_start_db command is executed. 8.3.4 Sample Environment Configuration Figure 8-1 is an example of a BASEstar Open environment that consists of three systems interconnected through a LAN. To make this sample environment available, you must: 1. Set up NODE_DB, NODE1 and NODE2. In the example, NODE_DB acts as the PODB Node for both MY_REALM and TS_REALM. 2. Start up each Node. 3. Set up MY_REALM on each Node. 4. Set up TS_REALM on each Node. 5. Start up the environment components of MY_REALM on each Node where MY_REALM must be available (that is, on all the Nodes). 6. Do the same for TS_REALM, but on NODE_DB and NODE1 only. 7. On the PODB Node, start up a Database Services server for each Realm. 8-7 Introduction to Environment Management 8.3 BASEstar Open Environment Components Figure 8-1 Sample BASEstar Open Environment In Figure 8-1, it is assumed that NODE_DB is a Digital UNIX system capable of acting as the PODB Node (ORACLE is the selected database). It is also assumed that NODE1 is a OpenVMS system and NODE2 is a Digital UNIX system. However, there are numerous alternatives to this configuration; for example, you could also have MS Windows client Nodes. 8-8 9 _________________________________________________________________ Environment Management Procedures This chapter describes the procedures that allow you to manage the BASEstar Open environment. You must perform the operations in the order prescribed: 1. Set up Nodes, Realms and databases on PODB nodes. A setup operation creates files and directories for the corresponding component. 2. Start up Nodes, Realms and Realm PODB servers. A startup operation runs the system processes that constitute the active part of the given component. 3. Shut down Nodes, Realms and Realm PODB servers. A shutdown operation terminates the system processes in an orderly fashion. 4. Unset Realms, Nodes and Realm PODB servers. An unset operation deletes files and directories for a specified component. You must set up a Realm before you can start it up. However, it is not necessary to set up all the components in order to start up just one of them. The BASEstar Open environment management procedures described in this chapter refer to the BASEstar Open environment commands documented in Chapter 10. Before issuing any of these commands, read the command description given in Chapter 10, which also highlights pre-requisites and constraints. 9-1 Environment Management Procedures 9.1 Setup Procedures 9.1 Setup Procedures This section describes the procedures that you must use to set up Nodes and Realms. Execute the procedure described in Section 9.1.1, Setting Up a Node for each Node to be set up, and the procedure described in Section 9.1.2, Setting Up a Realm for all the Realms in your environment. For information regarding the parameters used by the procedures described in this chapter, refer to the relative man pages. 9.1.1 Setting Up a Node To create Node-specific directories and configuration files, use the bstr_node_setup command. For example, this command allows you to select the Node on which to activate the Name Service server. If you use the advanced bstr_ node_setup option, it allows you to select the BASEstar Open working directory root database, and the communication configuration parameters. When you set up a Node, BASEstar Open usually asks you to specify just the names of the nodes on which you want it to start the primary and secondary copies of the Name Service servers. On the PODB node, it also prompts you to provide details of the selected database. The bstr_node_setup command also creates the bstrusers.* command files, for setting up installation-dependent global variables (see Appendix G). 9.1.2 Setting Up a Realm You must set up a Realm for each Node on which the Realm is to be available, as explained in Section 9.1.2.1, Setting Up a Realm on a Node. If you wish to store Realm object definitions in the PODB, create a database for the Realm on the PODB Node (see Section 9.1.2.2, Setting Up the Realm Database on the PODB Node). 9.1.2.1 Setting Up a Realm on a Node The bstr_realm_setup_node command allows you to create the directories and files that are required at run-time by the internal Realm components started on the Node. 9-2 Environment Management Procedures 9.1 Setup Procedures 9.1.2.2 Setting Up the Realm Database on the PODB Node To create a database for a Realm, run the bstr_realm_setup_ db command on the PODB node. 9.1.3 Setting Up the Sample Environment The following command sequence demonstrates how to set up the BASEstar Open environment for the sample configuration illustrated in Figure 8-1. Note that these instructions cause BASEstar Open to activate the primary copy of the Name Service server on NODE2 and the secondary copy on NODE1. You can set up the Nodes shown in this example in any order. For details of the rules governing the execution of environment commands, refer to Chapter 10. Setting Up the Nodes Log in as SYSTEM on NODE1 and issue the following command: $ bstr_node_setup -l WORK1:[BASESTAROPEN030] -y ... LNS.Server_Node [NODE1]: NODE2 LNS.Server_Node_2[]: NODE1 ... Execute the following command on NODE2: $ /usr/opt/bstbase300/etc/bstr_node_setup -l /usr/opt/bstbase300 -y ... LNS.Server_Node [NODE2]: NODE2 LNS.Server_Node_2[]: NODE1 DB.node_is_cfg_server ?: FALSE ... Execute the following command on NODE_DB: $ /usr/opt/bstbase300/etc/bstr_node_setup -l /usr/opt/bstbase300 -y ... LNS.Server_Node [NODE_DB]: NODE2 LNS.Server_Node_2[]: NODE1 DB.node_is_cfg_server ?: TRUE Pathname of your ORACLE kit (II_SYSTEM): /usr/kits/oracle ... 9-3 Environment Management Procedures 9.1 Setup Procedures Setting Up the MY_REALM Realm To set up the MY_REALM Realm on NODE1, NODE2 and NODE_DB, execute the appropriate setup file for your shell on each Node: $ . /etc/bstrusers.sh (Sh or Sh5 shell) $ source /etc/bstrusers.csh (C shell) Then issue the following command on NODE1 (you can set up the Realms on the Nodes in any order): $ bstr_realm_setup_node MY_REALM Then issue the following command on NODE2: $ bstr_realm_setup_node MY_REALM Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_setup_node MY_REALM $ bstr_realm_setup_db MY_REALM Setting Up the TS_REALM Realm To set up the TS_REALM Realm on NODE1 and NODE_DB, issue the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_realm_setup_node TS_REALM The setup operations for TS_REALM are similar to those performed for MY_REALM. Note that TS_REALM has not been set up on NODE2. This is because there was no request for the Realm to be available on this Node. Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_setup_node TS_REALM $ bstr_realm_setup_db TS_REALM 9-4 Environment Management Procedures 9.2 Startup Procedures 9.2 Startup Procedures This section describes the procedures that allow you to start up a Node or a Realm in the BASEstar Open environment. You must execute the procedure described in Section 9.2.1, Starting Up a Node for each Node that you wish to start up. Execute the procedure described in Section 9.2.2, Starting Up a Realm for each Realm that you wish to make available in your environment. 9.2.1 Starting Up a Node The bstr_node_start command activates the node-specific components, and checks for license and environment integrity on the Node. Note that the started Nodes only become available when you start up the Node on which the Name Service server is activated. 9.2.2 Starting Up a Realm Start up the Realm on each Node on which you want the Realm to be available (see Section 9.2.2.1). You must also start up the Database Services server process (allowing access to the Realm database) on the PODB node (see Section 9.2.2.2). 9.2.2.1 Starting Up a Realm on a Node The bstr_realm_start_node command starts up Realm-specific components on the Node on which it is executed. It also checks for license and environment integrity on the Node. ________________________ Note ________________________ BASEstar Open components that are active on a Node cannot access components that are active on other Nodes until you start up the Node where the Name Service server resides. ______________________________________________________ 9.2.2.2 Starting Up the Database Server for a Realm on the PODB Node You must only use the bstr_realm_start_db command on the PODB node. This command activates the Database Services server for the specified Realm. 9-5 Environment Management Procedures 9.2 Startup Procedures 9.2.3 Starting Up the Sample Environment The command sequence in this section demonstrates how to start up the BASEstar Open environment for the sample configuration illustrated in Figure 8-1. Starting Up the Nodes You can start up the sample Nodes in any order. Execute the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_node_start Execute the following command on NODE2: $ bstr_node_start Execute the following command on NODE_DB: $ bstr_node_start Starting Up the MY_REALM Realm To start up MY_REALM on NODE1, NODE2 and NODE_DB, execute the command sequence illustrated below (you can start up the Realm on the Nodes in any order). To set up the MY_REALM Realm on NODE1, NODE2 and NODE_DB, execute the appropriate setup file for your shell on each Node: $ . /etc/bstrusers.sh (Sh or Sh5 shell) $ source /etc/bstrusers.csh (C shell) Then issue the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_realm_start_node MY_REALM Execute the following command on NODE2: $ bstr_realm_start_node MY_REALM Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_start_node MY_REALM $ bstr_realm_start_db MY_REALM If you execute the above command sequence correctly, BASEstar Open makes the MY_REALM Realm available. At this point, you can use, for example, the Application Management Services to start up the Realm application components as explained in the BASEstar Open Command Language Interface. 9-6 Environment Management Procedures 9.2 Startup Procedures Starting Up the TS_REALM Realm To start up TS_REALM on NODE1 and NODE_DB, execute the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_realm_start_node TS_REALM Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_start_node TS_REALM $ bstr_realm_start_db TS_REALM The startup operations for TS_REALM are similar to those performed for MY_REALM. Note that TS_REALM has not been started up on NODE2, since there was no request for the Realm to be available on this Node. 9-7 Environment Management Procedures 9.3 Shutdown Procedures 9.3 Shutdown Procedures This section describes the procedures that allow you to shut down a Node and a Realm in the BASEstar Open environment. You must execute the procedure described in Section 9.3.1, Shutting Down a Realm for each Realm that you wish to be make unavailable in your environment. You must also execute the procedure described in Section 9.3.2, Shutting Down a Node for each Node to be made unavailable in your environment. 9.3.1 Shutting Down a Realm To shut down a Realm in an orderly fashion, you must first shut down the application components. To do so, use either the command interpreter on your platform or the Application Management Services. You must then shut down the active Database Services server on the Realm PODB node (see Section 9.3.1.1). Finally, you must shut down the Realm on each Node where the Realm was started, as explained in Section 9.3.1.2. ________________________ Note ________________________ It is possible to shut down a Realm on one Node and leave it available on the remaining Nodes. However, it is recommended that you shut down all the Realm application components in an orderly fashion on all Realm Nodes before shutting down the Realm environment on the Node. ______________________________________________________ 9.3.1.1 Shutting Down the Database Server for a Realm on the PODB Node The bstr_realm_shut_db command stops the Realm Database Services server. You can only perform this operation on the PODB node. 9.3.1.2 Shutting Down a Realm on a Node The bstr_realm_shut_node command makes a Realm unavailable on a Node. It also shuts down any active Realm-specific components on the Node. 9-8 Environment Management Procedures 9.3 Shutdown Procedures 9.3.2 Shutting Down a Node The bstr_node_shut command deactivates the node-specific environment components. Note that once you have completed the shutdown operation for the Node on which the Name Service server is running, BASEstar Open becomes unavailable on all other Nodes unless you activate a secondary copy of the server on a Node that is still active. 9-9 Environment Management Procedures 9.3 Shutdown Procedures 9.3.3 Shutting Down the Sample Environment The command sequence in this section demonstrates how to shut down the BASEstar Open environment for the sample configuration illustrated in Figure 8-1. Shutting Down the MY_REALM Realm You can shut down MY_REALM on NODE1, NODE2 and NODE_DB in any order. Before shutting down the Realm on the PODB Node, you must first issue the bstr_realm_shut_db command on that Node. Execute the appropriate setup file for your shell on each Node: $ . /etc/bstrusers.sh (Sh or Sh5 shell) $ source /etc/bstrusers.csh (C shell) Execute the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_realm_shut_node MY_REALM Execute the following command on NODE2: $ bstr_realm_shut_node MY_REALM Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_shut_db MY_REALM $ bstr_realm_shut_node MY_REALM Shutting Down the TS_REALM Realm To shut down TS_REALM on NODE1 and NODE_DB, issue the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_realm_shut_node TS_REALM Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_shut_db TS_REALM $ bstr_realm_shut_node TS_REALM The shutdown operations for TS_REALM are similar to those performed for MY_REALM. ________________________ Note ________________________ You do not need to be a superuser (root) to shut down a Realm. However, the user who shuts down the Realm must be the same user that started up the Realm. ______________________________________________________ 9-10 Environment Management Procedures 9.3 Shutdown Procedures Shutting Down the Nodes Once you have shut down MY_REALM and TS_REALM in an orderly fashion, you can shut down the Nodes in any order. Execute the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_node_shut Execute the following command on NODE2: $ bstr_node_shut Execute the following command on NODE_DB: $ bstr_node_shut 9-11 Environment Management Procedures 9.4 Unset Procedures 9.4 Unset Procedures This section describes the procedures that allow you to unset Realms and Nodes. Execute the procedure described in Section 9.4.1, Unsetting a Realm for all the Realms in your environment, and the procedure described in Section 9.4.2, Unsetting a Node for all the Nodes to be unset. 9.4.1 Unsetting a Realm Unsetting a Realm implies unsetting it for all the Nodes on which it was set, as described in Section 9.4.1.1, Unsetting a Realm from a Node. In addition, you must delete the PODB database created for that Realm, as explained in Section 9.4.1.2, Unsetting a Realm Database on the PODB Node. 9.4.1.1 Unsetting a Realm from a Node To unset a Realm from a Node, execute the bstr_realm_unset_ node command on the Node in question. This command deletes all Realm-specific directories and files previously created by the bstr_realm_setup_node command from the file system of the Node. The PODB node also performs the actions described in Section 9.4.1.2. 9.4.1.2 Unsetting a Realm Database on the PODB Node To unset a Realm database on the PODB Node, execute the bstr_realm_unset_db command on the PODB Node. This command deletes the database for the specified Realm. ________________________ Note ________________________ If you delete the database for a specified Realm, BASEstar Open also deletes all PODB object definitions. ______________________________________________________ 9.4.2 Unsetting a Node The bstr_node_unset command deletes the directories and node-specific files previously created by the bstr_node_setup command from the file system of the Node. 9-12 Environment Management Procedures 9.4 Unset Procedures 9.4.3 Unsetting the Sample Environment The command sequence in this section demonstrates how to unset the BASEstar Open environment for the sample configuration illustrated in Figure 8-1. Unsetting the MY_REALM Realm You can unset the MY_REALM Realm from NODE1, NODE2 and NODE_DB in any order. Execute the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_realm_unset_node MY_REALM Execute the following command on NODE2: $ bstr_realm_unset_node MY_REALM Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_unset_db MY_REALM $ bstr_realm_unset_node MY_REALM Unsetting the TS_REALM Realm To unset the TS_REALM Realm on NODE1 and NODE_DB, issue the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_realm_unset_node TS_REALM Execute the following commands on NODE_DB: $ bstr_realm_unset_db TS_REALM $ bstr_realm_unset_node TS_REALM The operations required to unset TS_REALM are similar to those performed for MY_REALM. Note that TS_REALM has not been unset from NODE2. This is because it was not set on this Node. Unsetting the Nodes You can unset the Nodes shown in the example in any order. Execute the following command on NODE1: $ bstr_node_unset Execute the following command on NODE2: $ bstr_node_unset Execute the following command on NODE_DB: $ bstr_node_unset 9-13 Environment Management Procedures 9.5 Monitoring BASEstar Open 9.5 Monitoring BASEstar Open In addition to the general management procedures, you can use the bstr_mon tool (or the bstr_env_show command) to monitor the active components of the BASEstar Open environment. It displays: o All available Realms o For each Realm, the Nodes on which the Realm is available, and the available Domains and VMDs o A list of available Nodes and Realms available on each Node. For a complete description of the bstr_mon tool, refer to Chapter 11. Refer to Chapter 10 for a description of the bstr_env_show command. You can also use the bstr_realm_check_env command to check whether the BASEstar Open environment has been set up and started successfully on a given Node. 9-14 10 _________________________________________________________________ Environment Management Command Reference 10.1 Executing Environment Commands This section outlines the general requirements for successful execution of environment commands. Specific command requirements are given in the description of each individual command. If you execute a command successfully, BASEstar Open returns the following exit status: 1 (one) If a command fails, it returns a different value in the command exit status. It also displays one or more messages that provide information about the error(s) that occurred during execution of the command. The log file often contains additional information about the components used to execute the command (see Chapter 14). 10.1.1 Requirements and Constraints This section indicates the types of users that can issue environment management commands, and specifies the rules that you must follow when issuing a command. 10.1.1.1 Users and Commands Not all OpenVMS users can issue all the environment management commands. Table 10-1 identifies which user can issue a given command, where o Root indicates the SYSTEM user or any user that has all the privileges. 10-1 Environment Management Command Reference 10.1 Executing Environment Commands o Spool user indicates the user who has the task of managing a given Node. For a given Node, the spool user is the SYSTEM user (default) or the user whose name has been specified when the bstr_node_setup command has been executed for that Node. The spool user must have all the privileges. o Realm user indicates the user who has the task of managing a given Realm. For a given Realm, the Realm user is the OpenVMS user who issued the bstr_realm_ setup_node command for that Realm. As a minimum requirement, the Realm user needs the BYPASS, TMPMBX, DETACH, GRPNAM and NETMBX privileges, and the following quotas: FILLM = 20 BYTLM = 80,000 ASTLM = 20 BIOLM = 18 DIOLM = 18 ENQLM = 20 JTQUOTA = 200 PGFLQUOTA = 80000 PRCLM = 10 TQELM = 20 WSDEFAULT = 256 WSQUOTA = 512 WSEXTENT = 8192 When you select the Realm user, you must remember that the Application Management Services server has the same UIC of the Realm user. This means that the Application Management Services server sees also the logical names of the group to which the Realm user belongs. In addition, as the Application Management Services server has the same privileges as the Realm user, you must remember to assign to the Realm user all the privileges that must also be assigned to the Program executions that you want it to run. 10-2 Environment Management Command Reference 10.1 Executing Environment Commands ________________________ Note ________________________ If root, spool user or Realm user is specified for a command, it means that only that particular user can issue the command. ______________________________________________________ Table 10-1 OpenVMS Relationship Between Environment ___________Management_Commands_and_Users___________________ Command_______________Type_of_User_________________________ ____________________Monitoring_Commands____________________ bstr_env_show Realm user bstr_realm_check_env Realm user ___________________________________________________________ _________________Node_Management_Commands__________________ bstr_node_setup Root bstr_node_start Spool user bstr_node_shut Spool user bstr_node_unset Root ___________________________________________________________ _________________Realm_Management_Commands_________________ bstr_realm_setup_ Realm user node bstr_realm_start_ Realm user node bstr_realm_shut_node Realm user bstr_realm_unset_ Realm user node bstr_realm_setup_db Realm user bstr_realm_start_db Realm user bstr_realm_shut_db Realm user bstr_realm_unset_db___Realm_user___________________________ 10-3 Environment Management Command Reference 10.1 Executing Environment Commands 10.1.1.2 Issuing a Command You must follow the rules listed below when executing an environment command (except for bstr_node_setup, for which refer to the instructions given in the command description): o Log in as the appropriate user, as specified in Table 10-1, on the selected Node. o Ensure that the installation-dependent global variables have been correctly set by executing the bstrusers.com command procedure. (See Appendix G for details.) For specific information on command requirements and constraints, refer to the description of each individual command. 10.2 Privileges Needed to Run Environment Management Procedures Table 10-2 lists the privileges required to run the various BASEstar Open environment management operations.

Syntax bstr_env_show -q query [-s] | -d Description The bstr_env_show command allows you to display information about the components active in your BASEstar Open environment. It displays information on Nodes, Realms, or services, depending on what is specified in the query argument of the -q qualifier. The bstr_env_show command displays the components that are active at the time the command is issued (it does not provide information on components that have been set up but not started). To issue the bstr_env_show command: o Log in as a generic user (see Section 10.1 for details). o Check that the BASEstar Open environment has been started up successfully on the Node where the bstr_ env_show command is to be issued (see Chapter 9 for details). Note that this command accesses the Node where the Name Service server is active. o Ensure that the BASEstar Open installation-dependent global variables have been appropriately set, by executing the bstrusers.sh or bstrusers.csh script file (see Appendix G for details). If the command completes successfully, a zero value is returned in the command exit status, otherwise a value other than zero is returned. Lower case qualifiers (with the associated argument) must be enclosed between double quotes ("). 10-6 bstr_env_show Options -q query The query expression specifies the kind of information displayed by the bstr_env_show command. The following expressions are valid: o N Displays a list of available BASEstar Open Nodes, that is, the Nodes for which the bstr_node_start command has been executed, and whose components have been started up successfully. o R Displays, for each Realm, a list of the BASEstar Open Nodes on which the Realm is available. (In this context, a Realm is considered to be available on a given Node if the Communication Service is found active and running on that Node.) o n[:node_name] Displays a list of the Realms currently available on the node_name Node. The services currently available for each Realm are also shown, together with the resources made available by each type of service. (In this context, a Realm is considered to be available on a given Node if the Communication Service component is found active and running on that Node.) Several lines may be displayed, each containing the name of a Realm, the identifier of a service currently available on that Realm (ams, dtm, dvm, evm, or podb), and the associated resource (if significant). If you do not specify the node_name argument, the name of the Node on which the command is issued is assumed by default. o r[:realm_name] Displays, for the realm_name Realm, a list of the services available on the Nodes where realm_name is available, together with the list of resources that are made available by each service. (In this context, a Realm is considered to be available on a given Node if 10-7 bstr_env_show the Communication Service component is found active and running on that Node.) Several lines may be displayed, each containing the identifier of an available service (ams, dtm, dvm, evm, or podb), the name of the Node on which the corresponding server is started up, and the associated resource (if significant). If you do not specify the realm_name argument, the name of the Realm set in the BSTR_REALM global variable is assumed by default. o s:[realm_name ]:ams|dtm|dvm|evm|mgm|podb Displays, for the realm_name Realm, a list of the available services of a specified type (ams, dtm, dvm, evm, or podb), and informs you of the Node on which they are available. The resource (Domain or VMD) made available by each service is also displayed, where applicable. Several lines may be displayed, each containing the name of the Node on which the corresponding server is started up, and the associated resource (if significant). If you do not specify the realm_name argument, the name of the Realm set in the BSTR_REALM global variable is assumed by default. o d:[realm_name]:domain_name Displays, for the domain_name Domain belonging to the realm_name Realm, which Event Services server and Data Services server Activities (evm or dtm) are available and on which Node the corresponding server has been started up. You must supply the full name of a Domain in the domain_name argument. Several lines may be displayed, each containing the identifier of the available service and the name of the Node where the service is available. If you do not specify the realm_name argument, the name of the Realm set in the BSTR_REALM global variable is assumed by default. -s Not allowed. 10-8 bstr_env_show -d Displays a set of formatted records, which contain all the information that can be returned by the bstr_env_show command. Examples 1. $ bstr_env_show -q N *** BASEstar Nodes Started *** NODE **** sabato dennix This command displays the names of all the Nodes that are currently available in the BASEstar Open environment. 2. $ bstr_env_show -q R *** BASEstar Realms Started *** REALM NODE ***** **** PEASANT sabato TEST sabato TEST dennix This command displays the names of all the Realms that are currently available in your BASEstar Open environment. The name of the Node (or Nodes) on which the Realms are started is also displayed. The TEST Realm is started on both sabato and dennix Nodes, while the PEASANT Realm is started on the sabato Node only. 10-9 bstr_env_show 3. $ bstr_env_show -q n:sabato *** BASEstar Realms and Services for Node sabato *** REALM SERVICE DOMAIN VMD ***** ******* ****** *** PEASANT AMS PEASANT PODB TEST AMS TEST DTM /DTM_1 TEST DTM /DTM_2 TEST DTM /DTM_3 TEST EVM /EVM_1 TEST EVM /EVM_2 TEST MGM /MGM_1 This command displays the list of services that are available on Node sabato, sorted by Realm. 4. $ bstr_env_show -q r:TEST *** BASEstar Services for Realm TEST *** SERVICE NODE DOMAIN VMD ******* **** ****** *** AMS sabato DTM sabato /DOMAIN_1 DTM sabato /DOMAIN_2 DTM dennix /DOMAIN_3 EVM sabato /DOMAIN_1 EVM dennix /DOMAIN_2 This command displays the names of all the services that are started up in the TEST Realm. For each service, the command also displays the name of the Node where the service has been started up, and the name of the resource (or resources) made available by that service. In the example, both the Data Services server and the Event Services server have been started for the /DOMAIN_ 1 domain, and both on Node sabato. 10-10 bstr_env_show 5. $ bstr_env_show -q s:TEST:evm *** BASEstar Service EVM for Realm TEST *** NODE DOMAIN **** ****** sabato /DOMAIN_1 dennix /DOMAIN_2 This command shows that there are two active Event Services in the TEST Realm, for /DOMAIN_1 and /DOMAIN_ 2, respectively. It also shows the names of the Nodes where the corresponding Event Services servers have been started up (sabato and dennix Nodes, respectively). 6. $ bstr_env_show -q d:TEST:/DOMAIN_2 *** BASEstar Services for Domain /DOMAIN_2 of Realm TEST ** SERVICE NODE ******* **** EVM sabato This command shows that the server for the DOMAIN_2 Domain is currently available on Node sabato. See Also None. 10-11 bstr_node_setup _________________________________________________________________ bstr_node_setup This command creates directories and configuration files on the Node where it is executed, and enables you to define the configuration parameters regarding Name Service, BASEstar Open working directories, database, communication parameters and miscellaneous run-time parameters. Syntax bstr_node_setup -l location [-y | -adv] [-v] Description You must execute the bstr_node_setup command for each Node on which you want to run BASEstar Open. You can only issue this command on a Node where BASEstar Open is installed. Before issuing the bstr_node_setup command you must log in as SYSTEM. The bstr_node_setup command is in the ETC directory, under the BASEstar Open installation directory. You cannot issue the bstr_node_setup command if there are BASEstar Open processes currently active (all environment and application components must be shut down first). The bstr_node_setup command performs the following operations: o Creates the configuration files for the Node-specific environment components. o Creates the command procedures that can be used to set the values of the installation-dependent BASEstar Open global variables. (See Appendix G for details.) o Creates the subtree that stores the BASEstar Open temporary files created at run time. To display some or all of the configuration parameters, select one of the following options: -y (default), or -adv. 10-12 bstr_node_setup Options -l location Pathname of the directory where the BASEstar Open kit is installed. It must be an absolute OpenVMS file specification. -y Simplified Node setup. The only value you can supply is the name of the BASEstar Open Nodes where the primary and secondary copies of the Name Service server were activated. -adv Advanced Node setup. Same as -y option. In addition, you can change the name and characteristics of the subtree under which the BASEstar Open temporary and snapshot files are stored at run time. -v This option displays additional information on execution of the command. Usage Notes While executing the bstr_node_setup command, press to accept the default value displayed between square brackets ([]). Press at any time to abort the bstr_node_setup command. The lines displayed by the bstr_node_setup command start with different character strings, depending on the operation being performed. The following character strings can be displayed: o The @@@ string identifies a message that describes the operation in progress. o The &&& string identifies an error message (error or fatal error). 10-13 bstr_node_setup Lines that are displayed without any of the above character strings are input requests. ________________________ Note ________________________ The name of the less extensive option that displays a given parameter is specified within brackets. In other words, if the -y option is specified, it means that the parameter is also displayed by the -adv option. ______________________________________________________ Changing Configuration Parameters The bstr_node_setup command allows you to display and change the values of some configuration parameters. All the bstr_node_setup command prompts and displays are listed below. BSTR.Spool_Work_Dir []: (-y option). This parameter is mandatory and must be the file specification of the Node-specific BASEstar Open working directory (for example disk3:[work_naxos]). It must be file specification of an unexisting directory. For each Node a dedicated working directory must exist. The specified directory cannot coincide with a snapshot directory (see next question) and cannot be a descendant directory of a snapshot directory. BSTR.Spool_Snap_Dir []: (-y option). This parameter is mandatory and must be the file specification of the snapshot directory that contains the snapshot files for the Node being set up. Several Nodes can share the same snapshot directory. If it does not exist, it is created. The specified directory cannot coincide with a working directory (see previous question) and cannot be a descendant directory of a working directory. BSTR.Spool_Owner [current_user]: (-adv option). Name of the user who owns the working and snapshot directory trees. The specified user must exist. BSTR.Spool_Protection_Mode "(S:rwed,O:rwed,G:rwed,O:rwed) 10-14 bstr_node_setup (-adv option). Protection mask applied to the working and snapshot directory trees. The default value restricts directories access to the owner (BSTR.Spool_Owner) and the group (BSTR.Spool_Group). LNS.Server_Node [current_node]: (-y option). Name of the Node on which BASEstar Open is to activate the primary copy of the LNS name server. This parameter must have the same value on all the configured BASEstar Open Nodes. LNS.Server_Node_2 []: (-y option). This parameter is optional and specifies the name of the Node on which BASEstar Open is to activate the secondary copy of the LNS name server. If a value is entered for this parameter, it must be the same on all the Nodes. ________________________ Note ________________________ Note that the secondary copy of the LNS name server cannot be activated on the same Node specified for the primary copy. ______________________________________________________ Specifying the Node Role The bstr_node_setup command asks whether client users active on the Node are allowed to access BASEstar Open servers active on Nodes other than this one. BSTR.Local_Only_Enabled ? [False] If you enter TRUE, the client users activated on the Node that you are setting up will only be able to access BASEstar Open servers on the same Node. If you enter FALSE, the same client users will be able to access BASEstar Open servers on other configured Nodes. Complete or Abort Command Execution The following prompt allows you to interrupt execution of the command: Do you want to continue or not? [y]: (-y option). Enter y to terminate command execution by leaving the system unaltered, enter n to continue. 10-15 bstr_node_setup Creating Configuration and Command Procedures Once the values of the configuration parameters have been displayed and modified (optional), the bstr_node_setup command displays appropriate messages informing you that configuration and script files are being created or edited. The following files are created: o The installation_file.h_node_name, which contains all the configuration parameters you entered in response to the bstr_node_setup command prompts, together with some reserved configuration parameters. o The lns.conf file, which contains all the configuration parameters you entered in response to the bstr_node_ setup command prompts regarding the LNS network service. o The SYS$STARTUP:BSTR$STARTUP.COM command procedure, which performs the following actions: - Defines the BSTR$KIT logical name with the file specification of the installation directory. - Executes the bstrusers.com command file. - Executes the bstr_node_start command. o The bstrusers_.com command procedure, which allows users to set installation-dependent global variables. (See Appendix G for details.) Creating BASEstar Open Work Directories Finally, the bstr_node_setup command creates the basic BASEstar Open work directories using the specified values. On completion, the bstr_node_setup command returns you to the DCL prompt. Examples 1. 10-16 bstr_node_setup $ @DISK3:[BSTR020.ETC]bstr_node_setup -l DISK3:[BSTR020] -y Name of the work directory. You must introduce the path name (according to the rules of VAX/VMS - .e.g. "DISK:[SUBD1.SUBD2]" ) of an UNEXISTING directory : BSTR.Spool_Work_Dir []: DISK3:[BSTR020.work] Name of the snapshot directory. You must introduce the path name (e.g. "DISK:[SUBD1.SUBD2]") of a directory. If it doesn't exist, it will be created by the procedure, otherwise you'll share it with some other installations. WARNING : Snapshot directory cannot be the same as work directory ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BSTR.Spool_Snap_Dir []: DISK3:[BSTR020.snapshot] Name of the host where the primary LNS Server will run: LNS.Server_Node [NODE1]: NODE2 Name of the host where the secondary LNS Server will run: --- Note that the primary and secondary LNS Server Hosts cannot coincide. LNS.Server_Node_2 []: NODE1 If you are not satisfied with the settings of installation parameters you can terminate the procedure and run it again: Do you want to continue or not ? [Y] : @@@ creating SYS$STARTUP:BSTR$STARTUP.COM;1 file @@@ creating BSTR_ETC:bstrusers_NODE1.com file @@@ creating BSTR_ETC:bstradmin_NODE1.com file @@@ creating BSTR_ETC:lns_NODE1.conf file $ If you are logged in to NODE1, the bstr_node_setup command creates the BASEstar Open static structures on NODE1: BASEstar Open expects the primary copy of the 10-17 bstr_node_setup Name Service server to be available on NODE2 and the secondary copy on NODE1. The other parameters are set to their default values. 10-18 bstr_node_shut _________________________________________________________________ bstr_node_shut Shuts down the Node-specific environment components. Syntax bstr_node_shut [-h] [-v] Description The bstr_node_shut command shuts down the Node-specific components. Before issuing this command, you are advised to shut down all the Realms that are available on the Node (issue the bstr_realm_shut_node command for each Realm, or specify the -h option). Options -h If you specify this option, the bstr_node_shut command also shuts down all the Realms that are available on the Node. In other words, the bstr_realm_shut_node command is automatically issued for each available Realm. If you do not specify this option (default), the bstr_node_ shut command checks whether there are any Realms started up on the Node. If the command finds one or more Realms still active, it lists them and terminates without performing any actions. -v This option displays additional information on the execution of the command. Examples 1. $ bstr_node_shut If you are logged in to NODE1, the bstr_node_shut command shuts down the node-specific environment components on that Node. 10-19 bstr_node_shut See Also bstr_node_start 10-20 bstr_node_start _________________________________________________________________ bstr_node_start Starts up the node-specific environment components. Syntax bstr_node_start [-v] [-c] Description The bstr_node_start command starts up the Node-specific environment components and checks for license and environment integrity on the Node. Issue the bstr_node_start command for each Node where BASEstar Open is to be started up. Before issuing the bstr_ node_start command, you must issue the bstr_node_setup command to set up the Node. Issue this command before you issue the bstr_realm_start_node and bstr_realm_start_db commands. Starting up a Node does not affect operations on other Nodes, where one or more Realms may already have been started. However, remember that any Nodes you start up become available when you start up the Node where the Name Service server resides. On completion, the bstr_node_start command outputs messages notifying you of its successful completion (all the Node- specific components have been started up), or unsuccessful completion (no components have been started up). Options -v This option displays additional information on execution of the command. -c If you specify this option, the bstr_node_start command performs a cleanup of all the temporary files for the current Node and all the Realms that have been set up on 10-21 bstr_node_start it. For example, it deletes working files and purges the Log Services files. Examples 1. $ bstr_node_start If you are logged in to NODE1, the bstr_node_start command starts up the Node-specific components on that Node. See Also bstr_node_setup bstr_node_shut 10-22 bstr_node_unset _________________________________________________________________ bstr_node_unset Deletes the directories and configuration files previously created using the bstr_node_setup command from the Node where the command is executed. Syntax bstr_node_unset [-l location ] [-v] Description You cannot issue the bstr_node_unset command if there are BASEstar Open processes active (all environment and application components must be shut down first). Before issuing the bstr_node_unset command, shut down all the Realms that are currently available on the Node and the Node itself. The bstr_node_unset command performs the following actions: o Deletes the Node-specific BASEstar Open working directory. o Deletes the snapshot directory specified for the Node. Because a snapshot directory can be shared among many Nodes, the shared snapshot directory (which resides on only one Node) is physically deleted only when all the Nodes that share it have been unset. When executed on a PODB Node, this command also deletes all the DBMS structures that were created using the bstr_realm_ setup_db command. The DBMS configuration files are also deleted. Options -l location Pathname of the directory where the BASEstar Open kit is installed. It must be the same pathname as that specified while setting up BASEstar Open. -v 10-23 bstr_node_unset This option displays additional information on the execution of the command. Examples 1. $ bstr_node_unset If you are logged in to NODE1, this command deletes the BASEstar Open static structures on that Node. See Also bstr_node_setup 10-24 bstr_realm_check_env _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_check_env Checks whether the BASEstar Open environment has been set up and started up successfully. Syntax bstr_realm_check_env[realm_name] Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm that you want to check. If you specify this parameter, bstr_realm_check_env checks that realm_name matches the value of the BSTR_REALM global variable. Description The check is performed on the Node on which the command is issued. Once invoked, the bstr_realm_check_env command performs the following: o If the realm_name parameter is specified, it checks whether the BSTR_REALM global variable has been set and whether its value is equal to realm_name. o Checks whether the installation-dependent global variables have been set (that is, if the appropriate bstrusers script has been executed successfully). o Checks whether the directories specified in the installation-dependent global variables exist and have appropriate contents (that is, if the bstr_realm_setup_node command has been executed successfully on the Node). o Checks whether the account you are using is authorized for performing operations on the BASEstar Open environment. (See Section 10.1 for details.) 10-25 bstr_realm_check_env If any of the above checks fails, the bstr_realm_check_env command displays an error message and returns control to the command interpreter. Otherwise, a series of messages are displayed to inform you that the realm_name Realm has been set up successfully on the Node. In addition, the bstr_realm_check_env command tells you whether or not the Realm has been started up successfully on the Node. To issue the bstr_realm_check_env command: o Log in as a generic user on the Node for which you wish to check the BASEstar Open environment. (See Section 10.1 for details.) o Ensure that the BASEstar Open installation-dependent global variables have been set successfully, by executing the bstrusers.sh or bstrusers.csh script file. (See Appendix G for details.) o Set BSTR_REALM with the name of the Realm to be checked. If the command completes successfully, a zero value is returned in the command exit status, otherwise a value other than zero is returned. Examples 1. $ setenv BSTR_REALM MY_REALM bstr_realm_check_env BASEstar Open Realm Environment Check for the Realm: MY_REALM Global Environment Variables: Correctly Set. Working Environment Existence: Correctly built. Working Environment access: Accessible. REALM : MY_REALM Currently Active If you are logged in to NODE2, this command checks whether the MY_REALM Realm has been set up successfully. All preliminary checks were successful and MY_REALM has been started up on NODE2. 10-26 bstr_realm_check_env See Also None. 10-27 bstr_realm_setup_db _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_setup_db Creates a DBMS-dependent database where you can store PODB object definitions for the specified Realm. Syntax bstr_realm_setup_db realm_name [-c] [-l location] [-RDB version] Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm for which the database is to be created. The database takes its name from the specified Realm. Description Issue this command on the Realm PODB Node only, after you have set up the PODB Node, using the bstr_node_setup command. If you do not specify the -l qualifier, the following message is displayed: Please enter the database location [BSTR_WORK_ROOT:[REALM_realm_name]]: Enter the specification of the directory where the VAX Rdb/VMS database is to be created. The bstr_realm_setup_db command first checks if snapshots still exist for realm_name. If it is so, an error message is displayed and no PODB database is created. To force the command to delete the snapshots, you must specify the -c qualifier. The bstr_realm_setup_db command writes additional information to the _setup_db.log file created under the BSTR_WORK_ROOT:[REALM_realm_name.TMP] directory. 10-28 bstr_realm_setup_db Options -c Forces the command to delete any existing snapshots for realm_name. -l location Pathname of the directory where the VAX Rdb/VMS database is created. It must be an OpenVMS file specification. If you do not specify this qualifier, the bstr_realm_setup_db command prompts you to enter the name of the location directory. -RDB version The version of DEC Rdb to be used (if you are running a multi-version). See Also bstr_node_setup 10-29 bstr_realm_setup_node _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_setup_node Creates directories and files to be used at run time by the realm-specific environment components started on the Node. Syntax bstr_realm_setup_node realm_name [-v] Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm for which the structures (files and directory) are to be created. The realm_name string can have a maximum of 8 uppercase characters and must follow the syntax rules of a BASEstar Open local name. Description Before issuing the bstr_realm_setup_node command, issue the bstr_node_setup command to set up the Node. Options -v This option displays additional information on the execution of the command. Examples 1. $ bstr_realm_setup_node MY_REALM If you are logged in to NODE1, the bstr_realm_setup_node command creates the BASEstar Open static structures for MY_REALM. 10-30 bstr_realm_setup_node See Also bstr_node_setup bstr_realm_unset_node 10-31 bstr_realm_shut_db _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_shut_db Shuts down the Database Services server for the specified Realm. Syntax bstr_realm_shut_db realm_name Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm for which the Database Services server is to be shut down. Description Issue the bstr_realm_shut_db command on the PODB Node only. This must be the first operation you perform in the realm_name shutdown process. Before issuing the command, you must ensure that there are no transactions in progress on the database. In other words, check that all the application components have been shut down in an orderly fashion, and that no CLI or Graphic Configuration utility operators are working on the PODB definitions for realm_name. Examples 1. $ bstr_realm_shut_db MY_REALM If you are logged in to the PODB Node (NODE_DB), the bstr_realm_shut_db command shuts down the Database Service server for MY_REALM. See Also bstr_realm_start_db 10-32 bstr_realm_shut_node _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_shut_node Shuts down Realm-specific environment components for the Node on which it is executed. Syntax bstr_realm_shut_node realm_name [-h] [-v] Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm whose Realm-specific environment components you wish to shut down. Description Issue the bstr_realm_shut_node command on a given Node for a given Realm to make the specified Realm unavailable on the Node. The bstr_realm_shut_node command performs the following steps: o Shuts down the PC Communication server. o Shuts down the Application Management Services server and therefore terminates the Activities and Programs under its control. o Shuts down the Global Object Services server. o Shuts down the Communication Service. The Communication Service processes are only stopped after termination of the application components. Note that the -h option causes the Communication Service to terminate unconditionally, without waiting for the Application Components to terminate. Before issuing this command, shut down the Realm application components as appropriate. If you are addressing a PODB Node, issue the bstr_realm_shut_db command before issuing the bstr_realm_shut_node command. 10-33 bstr_realm_shut_node Options -h Not allowed. -v This option displays additional information on the execution of the command. Examples 1. $ bstr_realm_shut_node MY_REALM If you are logged in to NODE1, this command shuts down the internal components on the specified Node for MY_ REALM. See Also bstr_realm_start_node 10-34 bstr_realm_start_db _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_start_db Starts the Database Service server for the specified Realm. Syntax bstr_realm_start_db realm_name Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm for which the Database Service server is to be started. Description Issue the bstr_realm_start_db command on the Realm PODB Node only. This command starts up the Database Service server, which allows BASEstar Open users to access the Realm PODB in order to create, update and delete object definitions for realm_name. Before issuing the bstr_realm_start_db command, you must create the appropriate database using the bstr_realm_setup_ db command, and start up the Realm on the PODB Node using the bstr_realm_start_node command. See Also bstr_realm_setup_db bstr_realm_shut_db 10-35 bstr_realm_start_node _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_start_node Starts up the realm-specific environment components on the Node. Syntax bstr_realm_start_node realm_name [-v] -w work_dir Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm for which the environment components are to be started up. Description Issue the bstr_realm_start_node command on a given Node for a given Realm to make the specified Realm available on the Node. Before issuing the bstr_realm_start_node command, start up the Node using the bstr_node_start command, and set up the Realm on the same Node using the bstr_realm_setup_node command. Note that the user-defined global variables that you set before issuing this command are visible to the Application Management Services server. Therefore, they are also visible to all processes (that is, Programs) started by the server. (See Section 12.3.1 for further details.) In addition, if you wish to specify a different port number for the PC Communication server, set the new value in the BSTR_PC_PORT global variable. The bstr_realm_start_node command performs the following steps: 1. Starts up the Communication Service. 2. Starts up the Global Object Services server. 3. Starts up the Application Management Services server. 10-36 bstr_realm_start_node 4. Starts up the PC Communication server. 5. Checks for license and environment integrity on the Node. Options -w work_dir This option specifies the pathname of the directory where BASEstar Open stores Realm-specific work files. The specified directory must exist. -v Displays additional information on the execution of the command. Examples 1. $ bstr_realm_start_node MY_REALM If you are logged in to NODE1, the bstr_realm_start_node command starts up MY_REALM on that Node. See Also bstr_realm_setup_node bstr_realm_shut_node 10-37 bstr_realm_unset_db _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_unset_db Deletes the database that contains the PODB definitions for the specified Realm. Syntax bstr_realm_unset_db realm_name [-s] Parameters realm_name Specifies the name of the Realm whose database you wish to delete. Description Issue the bstr_realm_unset_db command to delete the database associated with realm_name. BASEstar Open deletes the specified database, together with its contents. ________________________ Note ________________________ Deleting the database for a specified Realm means deleting all its PODB object definitions. ______________________________________________________ The bstr_realm_unset_db command performs the physical deletion of the PODB database for the specified Realm only if there are no other Nodes still set for that Realm. Note that the bstr_realm_unset_db command is executed automatically by the bstr_realm_unset_node command. If the -s option is specified, the bstr_realm_unset_db deletes all the object definitions for realm_name but not the snapshot configurations. Options -s If you specify this option, the bstr_realm_unset_db deletes all the object definitions for realm_name, but leaves the snapshot configurations. 10-38 bstr_realm_unset_db See Also bstr_realm_setup_db 10-39 bstr_realm_unset_node _________________________________________________________________ bstr_realm_unset_node Deletes directories and files previously created using the bstr_realm_setup_node procedure. Syntax bstr_realm_unset_node realm_name [-v] Parameters realm_name Specifies the local name of the Realm for which the structures (files and directories) are to be deleted. Description Before issuing the bstr_realm_unset_node command, make sure that all the Realm and Node components active on the Node have been correctly shut down. The bstr_realm_unset_node command physically deletes the snapshots for realm_name only if no other Nodes are sharing them. Note that the bstr_realm_unset_node command also executes the bstr_realm_unset_db command automatically and, therefore, it removes the Realm PODB database. Options -v This option displays additional information on the execution of the command. Examples 1. $ bstr_realm_unset_node MY_REALM If you are logged in to NODE1, the bstr_realm_unset_node command deletes the BASEstar Open files and directories for MY_REALM. 10-40 bstr_realm_unset_node See Also bstr_realm_setup_node bstr_realm_shut_node 10-41 bstr_run _________________________________________________________________ bstr_run The bstr_run procedure is the BASEstar Open Running Procedure (BRP). It allows you to activate a Realm without having to set up or start a Node. syntax bstr_run realm_name [-I] [-L location] [-NOPODB] [-NOVODB] [-RDB db_version] Parameters realm_name The name of the Realm that you want bstr_run to activate. BASEstar Open creates the Realm with the following default characteristics: o Single Node o One Domain (root "/") o One AMS Actor called realm_name_SERVERS o Two Activities, allowing use of the VOLATILE database (VODB), as follows: - EVM, (event manager) named /realm_name_SERVERS/EVM, which runs the Program /realm_name_EVM_SERVER - DTM, (data manager) named /realm_name_SERVERS/DTM, which runs the program /realm_name_DTM_SERVER. If RDB is available, your system can support PERMANENT database (PODB) and DB server. You can use the appropriate parameters and options to override bstr_run procedure defaults. Options -I Enables the interactive execution of the bstr_run procedure. If this flag is specified, all the BASEstar Open environment procedures are executed interactively, and the bstr_run default values can be overridden. 10-42 bstr_run The BASEstar Open environment procedures contain questions during their execution (for example, requiring confirmation, parameters, values, and so on). By default, the bstr_run procedure executes these procedures automatically, suppressing any questions and using internal default values. -L location The pointer to the directory specification containing the BASEstar Open kit or where BASEstar Open was installed. This directory specification must be provided only if the Node is not currently set up. -NOPODB Causes bstr_run to skip the PERMANENT database setup-start phase. As a result, you can only configure objects in the VOLATILE database. By default, bstr_run sets up the Realm environment in order to create the PODB and all structures required to use the PERMANENT database. Furthermore, it will also start the database server to allow immediate access to PODB facilities. The -NOPODB flag inhibits the execution of this phase, thereby preventing access to the PODB. However, even if the -NOPODB flag is not specified, the bstr_run procedure can determine whether the Node is elegible to be a "PODB Node" (that is, if a supported DBMS is installed). If this is notthe case, it skips the PODB setup-start phase automatically. -NOVODB Causes bstr_run to skip the VOLATILE database setup-start phase. By default, bstr_run sets up an AMS Actor containing two Activities related to EVM and DTM servers, where: o The name of the Actor is realm_name_SERVERS. o The full name of the Activity related to EVM server is "/realm_name_SERVERS/EVM" and the program executed by it is "/realm_name_EVM_SERVER". 10-43 bstr_run o The full name of the Activity related to DTM server is "/realm_name_SERVERS/DTM and the program executed by it is "/realm_name_EVM_SERVER". o The Node is the current one and the Domain used is the root (/). This object is configured by using a CLI file (script) created by bstr_run called SYS$SCRATCH:AMS_SETUP_FILE.CLI. This file can also be used as an example of a simple AMS configuration. If you only specify the -NOVODB flag, BASEstar Open skips this phase; you must therefore create any AMS objects separately if you want to access the VODB. However, even if you do not specify the -NOVODB flag, BASEstar Open only executes this phase if the Realm has been started by bstr_run. This is to avoid interference with any user configurations. -RDB db_version Specifies that the RDB version db_version is to be used to set the PERMANENT database facilities. The RDB version must be provided only if more than one RDB version is present on the system. This parameter has no significance if the -NOPODB flag is set. Description The bstr_run procedure analyses at the user's environment and performs all the operations needed to run BASEstar Open: using bstr_run, the user no longer needs to call all the DCL command procedures needed to set up and start BASEstar Open. For example, if the Node has been already set up and started, bstr_run starts its activity from the execution of the bstr_realm_setup_node procedure. The bstr_run procedure runs the following BASEstar Open procedures to create a minimum BASEstar Open environment: 1. bstr_node_setup[1] 2. bstr_node_start[1] 3. bstr_realm_setup_node ____________________ [1] Requires all privileges 10-44 bstr_run 4. bstr_realm_start_node[2] 5. bstr_realm_setup_db 6. bstr_realm_start_db[2] The account from which you run the bstr_run procedure must have the requisite privileges for each of the constituent environment procedures. For more information on the privileges required to run the environment management procedures, refer to Section 10.2. The bstr_run procedure performs a "rollback" mechanism if any of the operations fail during execution. The rollback mechanism involves only the operations performed previously by bstr_run; it has no effect on operations already performed before bstr_run commenced execution. For example, if you run bstr_run on a Node that has already been set up and started, the rollback only affects any subsequent steps, and leaves the Node in the "set and started" state. In specific circumstances, bstr_run sets up and starts the PODB and an Actor containing a couple of Activities. This enables you to work with Event and Data Services on both PERMANENT and VOLATILE databases. During execution, the bstr_run procedure displays only the basic messages relevant to its execution. Detailed information of each step of the execution is instead collected the log file SYS$SCRATCH:BRP_LOG_FILE.OUT. Examples 1. $ bstr_run SAMPLE In this example, the bstr_run procedure performs the steps required to set up the realm SAMPLE, and then performs the "rollback" mechanism on failure: a. Sets up the Node b. Executes the bstr_run procedure for the Realm SAMPLE. The bstr_run procedure: o Starts the Node ____________________ [2] Requires DETACH privilege 10-45 bstr_run o Sets up the Realm SAMPLE o Starts the Realm SAMPLE At this point, the start operation on Realm SAMPLE fails (either partially or completely). The bstr_run PROCEDURE continues as follows with the "rollback": o Shuts Realm SAMPLE o Unsets Realm SAMPLE o Shuts Node c. The bstr_run procedure terminates. 10-46 11 _________________________________________________________________ BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.1 Introduction The BASEstar Open Environment Monitor is an interactive tool capable of displaying the Realms and Nodes that have been started up, together with their relationships in the BASEstar Open operating environment. It also displays the Domain server resources that are available within a Realm. Domain Services servers can be data servers, device servers, or event servers. The bstr_mon tool is used to monitor the active components of the BASEstar Open environment; for example, started Nodes, Realms that are started on these Nodes and the services available for a given Realm. The bstr_mon tool can be used to display the following: o The available Realms o For each Realm, the Nodes on which the Realm is available, the available Domains and the VMDs o A list of the available Nodes and a list of Realms available on each Node. You can run the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor from any VTxxx terminal. The Monitor is user-friendly, with simple command keystrokes and consistent screen menus. It displays Realms (with associated services) and Nodes on two screens. The two views are: o Active Realm View - displays the active Realms. If you select a Realm, it displays the Nodes which made the Realm available to it, together with the Realm's associated services. o Active Node View - displays the active Nodes. If you select a Node, it displays the Realms made available for use on the Node. 11-1 BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.1 Introduction When the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor command is invoked, the default view is displayed (see Figure 11-1). The default view is the Active Realm View. 11-2 BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.2 Running the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.2 Running the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor To run the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor perform the following steps: 1. Ensure you have the quotas and privileges of a Realm user (see Section 10.1.1.1 for details). 2. Check that the BASEstar Open environment has been started up successfully on the Node that is to run the Monitor (see Chapter 9 for details). 3. Make sure that the installation-dependent global variables have been initialized for the login user. To initialize the installation dependent global variables, execute the bstrusers script. See Appendix G for further information about global variables. 4. Enter the following from the command interpreter prompt: $ bstr_mon to display the view of the active Realms shown in Figure 11-1. 11.3 General Characteristics The general characteristics of the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor are described below. Refreshing Displayed Information The BASEstar Open Environment Monitor application retains information in its memory and you must therefore use the Update command to review the current environment. The screen is refreshed automatically every five minutes to display the current environment. The Update command can be executed in both views (mnemonic "U"). Quitting the Environment Monitor To exit from either view of the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor, execute the Quit Command (mnemonic "Q"). 11-3 BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.4 Views 11.4 Views The sections below explain how to perform operations on the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor Views. 11.4.1 Active Realm View The default view that is displayed when the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor is invoked is shown in Figure 11-1. The screen is divided into three windows. Figure 11-1 Active Realm View +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ACTIVE REALMS | | ALAN guida | | BUSO | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | DOMAINS M D D E | NODES P A | | G V T V | D M | | M M M M | B S | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | /a o | COUGH | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------+ The Active Realm window (upper window) displays a list of available Realms, sorted by name. If there are no names available, the screen displays "No active realms". The cursor is initially positioned in this window and the first Realm is highlighted. The cursor can be moved through the list of Realms by using the up and down cursor movement keys. 11-4 BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.4 Views When the cursor is positioned on a Realm, the list of resources (Domains and VMDs) for this Realm is displayed in the bottom left-hand window (the Domain window) and all the Nodes on which the Realm has been started up are displayed in the bottom right-hand window (the Node window). The Domain window displays the list of resources available in the Realm, sorted by name. If there are no resources available, the screen displays "No active domains". Each resource is displayed on a separate line. To the right of each line, a bullet is displayed indicating the type of server activity that makes the resource available, as follows: ___________________________________________________________ Identifier____Server_Activity______________________________ EVM Event Services server MGM Packet Services server DTM Data Services server DVM___________Device_Services_server_______________________ The following also applies: o If the bullet is positioned under EVM, MGM or DTM, the string to its left contains the full name of a Domain. o If the bullet is positioned under DVM, the string to its left contains the name of a VMD. The Node window displays a list of the Nodes that have been started up for the selected Realm. If no Nodes have been started up, the screen displays "No active nodes". This window displays each Node on a separate line. Each line contains the following information: o The name of a Node o A bullet positioned under the PDB column, if the Database Services server is active on that Node o A bullet positioned under the AMS column, if the Application Management Services server is active on that Node. 11-5 BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.4 Views If it is not possible to view all of the information in the Domain window or Node window, you can select these windows by pressing the carriage return (ENTER) key (press the carriage return key again to select the Node window, and repeat this action to select the Active Realm window). You can then move the cursor through the list of Domains or Nodes using the up and down cursor movement keys. The command line at the bottom of the screen displays the available options. In the case of the Active Realm View, menu options include jumping to the Active Node View, Update, quitting the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor, or switching between windows, as follows: ___________________________________________________________ Option________Command_______Function_______________________ [ENTER]- Carriage To move between windows toggle return [ENTER] key Update U To refresh screen to display current BASEstar Open Environment Nodes N To invoke Node View Quit Q To exit BASEstar Open ____________________________Environment_Monitor____________ 11-6 BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.4 Views 11.4.2 Active Node View The screen is divided into two windows (see Figure 11-2).

The cursor is positioned on the Node "arff" and the bottom window therefore displays a list of the Realms that have been made available on that Node. The Active Node window (top window) displays a list of Nodes, sorted by name. If there are no Nodes, the screen displays "No active nodes". If it is not possible to view all of the Nodes together, you can move the cursor through the list of Nodes using the up and down cursor movement keys. When you position the cursor on a Node, it is highlighted and automatically becomes the selected Node. 11-7 BASEstar Open Environment Monitor 11.4 Views The Active Realm window (bottom window) displays the list of Realms (sorted by name) that have been started up for the selected Node. If there are no Realms, the screen displays "No active realms". If it is not possible to view all of the Realms together, you can select this window by pressing the carriage return (ENTER) key and then move the cursor through the list of Realms using the up and down cursor movement keys. The command line at the bottom of the screen displays the available options. In the case of the Active Node View, menu options include jumping to the Active Realm View, Update, quitting the BASEstar Open Environment Monitor, or switching between windows, as follows: ___________________________________________________________ Option________Command_______Function_______________________ [ENTER]- Carriage To move between windows toggle return [ENTER] key Update U To refresh screen to display current BASEstar Open Environment Realms R To invoke Active Realm View Quit Q To exit BASEstar Open ____________________________Environment_Monitor____________ 11-8 12 _________________________________________________________________ BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers A BASEstar Open-supplied server is a system process that makes a set of BASEstar Open objects available at run-time. For each Realm, the following BASEstar Open servers make VODB objects available: o Event Services servers, which make the Event Services objects of one or more Domains available at run-time. o Packet Services servers, which make the Packet Services objects of one or more Domains available at run-time. o Data & Device Services servers, which make the following objects available at run-time: - Data Services objects of one or more Domains - One or more VMDs and associated Device Services server objects. o Global Object Services servers make the Realm global objects, such as Domains and VMDs, available at run- time. o The Application Management Services server, which makes the Application Management Services objects available at run-time and therefore provides the main functions for the activation, monitoring and control of the Realm application components (user-written applications, Data Services servers, Event Services servers, and Device Services servers). A Realm can contain additional optional servers that perform some specialized tasks for the Realm, such as: o A Database Services server, which provides access to the PODB object definitions. 12-1 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers o A PC Communication server, which enables applications running on client Nodes to perform operations on Realm objects and object definitions like other BASEstar Open applications running on server Nodes. The rest of this chapter describes the characteristics of the different types of servers, and explains how to manage them. 12-2 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.1 Servers, Activities and Owned Resources 12.1 Servers, Activities and Owned Resources The Event Services servers, Packet Services servers, Data Services servers and Device Services servers are implemented as Application Management Services applications. This means that, at run-time, a server acts as a Program execution capable of executing several Activities. Depending on the kind of server, each Activity owns and thus makes available a specific set of resources (Domain) to BASEstar Open users. BASEstar Open servers (apart from Application Management Services servers), make VODB objects available once they have been started up. A BASEstar Open server is started up using the command interpreter features or the Application Management Services features described in the BASEstar Open Command Language Interface manual. The Realm Application Management Services servers are activated automatically as part of the Realm startup process (see Chapter 9). In order to activate a server using Application Management Services, you must configure it as a set of Activity objects associated with an appropriate Program object. 12.1.1 Snapshots When a server Activity is started up, it looks for the definitions of the default objects in a specific snapshot configuration. (Snapshots are created using CLI configuration commands.) The use of snapshots speeds up the operation that each Activity performs when loading default objects in the VODB. Of course, if the specified snapshot is not found, no default objects are created. For example, when a Data Services server Activity is started up, it makes objects such as Data_Points and Triggers available, whose definitions are contained in the snapshot for the associated Domain. At run-time, the same Activity allows for additional objects that are visible in that Domain to be created in the VODB. 12-3 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.1 Servers, Activities and Owned Resources 12.1.2 Logged Information Like many other BASEstar Open components, BASEstar Open servers write information to a log file. To find out how this information is logged, see Chapter 14. 12-4 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.2 Global Object Services 12.2 Global Object Services A Global Object Services server is the Realm-specific environment component that makes the global objects available on that Realm. It enables users to request services such as creating and getting attributes of global objects. The objects made available by Global Object Services belong to the following classes: o Datatype o Domains o VMD o Protocol_Profile o VMD_Extension_Parameter A Global Object Services server is started up on each Node where the Realm is started. Once started up, a Global Object Services server checks to see if another Global Object Services server has been started up on another Node for the same Realm, and then: o If it is the first to start up, looks for its snapshot in the most recently generated snapshot configuration and then creates its default objects in the VODB. o If it is not the first to start up, it does not load the configuration because it makes available objects that have been already loaded by the other Global Object Services servers in the Realm from the snapshot or that have been already created when fulfilling user service requests. To provide such dynamic and distributed services, the Global Object Services servers of a Realm continuously notify each other of their respective availability and of operations in progress. Once you have started up the Realm, you can use the LOAD CONFIGURATION command to force the active Global Object Services servers to load an alternative snapshot configuration. 12-5 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.2 Global Object Services A Global Object Services server supports up to 40 client application components. This limit is determined by the value of the BSTR_GOM_MAX_CLIENT variable. To increase the number of clients, follow these steps: 1. Locate the following section of code in the $BSTR_ETC/realm_startup/start05_gom.sh file: # # Define default GOM trace utility # BSTR_GOM_TRACE=GOM; export BSTR_GOM_TRACE 2. To set a maximum of 100 clients, enter the following code immediately below the above section: # # Define new GOM clients maximum limit # # BSTR_GOM_MAX_CLIENT=100; export BSTR_GOM_MAX_CLIENT 12-6 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.3 Application Management Services 12.3 Application Management Services The Application Management Services servers for a given Realm make the Application Management Services objects of that Realm available to clients. An Application Management Services server is started up on each Node where the Realm is started. The objects made available by Application Management Services belong to the following classes: o Activity o Actor o Node o Program Once started up, an Application Management Services server looks for a snapshot in the most recently generated snapshot configuration and then creates its default objects in the VODB. Once you have started up the Realm, you can use the LOAD CONFIGURATION command to request the active Application Management Services servers to load an alternative snapshot configuration. 12.3.1 Logical Names - Inheritance and Usage The Application Management Services server has the same UIC of the Realm user. This means that it sees also the logical names of the group to which the Realm user belongs. As the Application Management Services server has the same privileges of the Realm user, you must remember to assign the Realm user all the privileges you want to be assigned to the Program executions the Application Management Services server will run. New logical names (or modifications to existing logical names), can be set in the Node environment file and/or parameter file of each Program. (For information regarding the record format of such files, refer to Appendix G.) The values set to these logical names are made available and can be used in different contexts. Table 12-1 specifies when a user-defined logical name can be set, and the context in which it can be used. 12-7 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.3 Application Management Services Table_12-1_Logical_Names_-_Validity_and_Usage______________ __________Logical_Name_Usage_________ If_Set..._____________OBJS_PATH__PARS_PATH__RET_VAR________ In the LNM$GROUP Yes Yes Yes table In the environment Yes No Yes Node file (Cannot be used to express the Node environ- ment file pathname) In the Program No No Yes parameter file Logical_Name_Usage_________________________________________ OBJS_PATH- Used to express the Pathnames in the following Node and Program attributes: Node environment file, Program parameter file and Program image file. PARS_PATH- Used to form the Pathnames specified in the following Program parameter file items: input, output and error. RET_VAR- Available to a Program execution that can retrieve their value using the getenv() run-time C Language function. ___________________________________________________________ 12.3.1.1 Application Management Services Server Privileges The Application Management Services server can create processes having the following privileges: GRPNAM, DETACH, GROUP, WORLD, TMPMBX, NETMBX, SYSPRV and SHARE. If the Application Management Services server must have additional privileges other than those listed above, the Realm user must also have the SETPRV privilege. The additional privileges can be specified to the Application Management Services server in the following ways, depending on whether or not you set the value of the flag item to NOUAF in the Program parameter file: 12-8 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.3 Application Management Services o The flag item is set to NOUAF. The additional privileges can be specified using the prv item of same Program parameter file. o The flag item has not been specified. The additional privileges are all the DEAFULT PRIVILEGES defined in UAF for the Realm user, plus any additional privilege set in the login.com associated with the Realm user, using the SET PROCESS/PRIVILEGES DCL command. 12-9 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.4 Event Services 12.4 Event Services One Event Services server can manage a maximum of 32 Activity executions. Each Activity execution makes the Event Services objects visible in the associated Domain available to users. The objects made available by Event Services belong to the following classes: o Enbox o Event o Event_Set Once started up, an Activity execution looks for the corresponding snapshot to create the default objects in the VODB. If no snapshot is found, no default VODB objects are created for the associated Domain. The executable name for the Program is evm_server. This executable is stored in the $BSTR_BIN directory (see Appendix G). 12.4.1 Using Application Management Services to Manage an Event Services Server An Event Services server must be configured as a Program, with a number of associated Activities that is equal to the number of Domains that it has to make available. Application Management Services start up the server when an execute message is sent to any of its Activities. For further information about how to configure and manage an Event Services server using Application Management Services, refer to the BASEstar Open Command Language Interface. 12.4.2 Starting Up and Shutting Down an Event Services Server from the Command Interpreter To start up an Event Services server from the command interpreter, run its executable image from the command interpreter prompt after having set the appropriate global variables. Remember that, in this case, an Event Services server can only execute one Activity; that is, it can only make one Domain available. 12-10 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.4 Event Services Before running the server, you must perform the following actions: o Set the name of the Activity in the BSTR_ACTIVITY global variable. This name bears no relation to any existing Application Management Services Activity object, and is simply a label used to identify messages in the LOG file. o Set the BSTR_DOMAIN global variable with the full name of the Domain that the server Activity is to make available. This name is also used to identify any corresponding snapshot. o Initialize the installation-dependent global variables by executing the bstrusers command file (see Appendix G). o Set the BSTR_REALM global variable with the name of the Realm on which the server is to run. o Set the BSTR_DBVERSION and BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY global variables (optional). For further information about global variables and how to set them, refer to Appendix G. The example below shows how to start the Event Services serverfrom DCL. The server makes the /PLANT/PRODUCTION /LINE2 Domain available. The server creates the Event Services default objects whose definitions are contained in the snapshot configuration identified by a major identifier of 2. $ @DISK3:[BSTR030.ETC]bstrusers $ DEFINE BSTR_REALM MY_Realm $ DEFINE BSTR_ACTIVITY "DATA_ACT_PRODUCTION_LINE2" $ DEFINE BSTR_DOMAIN "/PLANT/PRODUCTION/LINE2" $ DEFINE BSTR_DBVERSION 2 $ SPAWN/NOWAIT RUN BSTR_BIN:evm_server In the example, note that the server has been started as a background process; this is advisable, but not mandatory. To stop a Event Services server use the STOP/ID="PID" OpenVMS/DCL command. Stopping a server using the STOP command causes the server to exit without performing the 12-11 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.4 Event Services cleanup phase (some files may be left in the BASEstar Open working directory). 12-12 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.5 Packet Services 12.5 Packet Services One Packet Services server can manage a maximum of 32 Activity executions. Each Activity execution makes the Packet Services objects visible in the associated Domain available to users. The objects made available by Packet Services belong to the following classes: o Packet o Port Once started up, an Activity execution looks for the corresponding snapshot to create the default objects in the VODB. If the snapshot is not found, no default VODB objects are created for the associated Domain. The executable name for the Program is mgm_server. This executable is stored in the $BSTR_BIN directory (see Appendix G). 12.5.1 Using Application Management Services to Manage a Packet Services Server A Packet Services server must be configured as a Program, with a number of associated Activities that corresponds to the number of Domains to be made available. Application Management Services start up the server when an execute message is sent to any of its Activities. For further information about how to configure and manage a Packet Services server using the Application Management Services, refer to the BASEstar Open Command Language Interface. 12.5.2 Starting Up and Shutting Down a Packet Services Server from the Command Interpreter To start up a Packet Services server from the command interpreter, run its executable image from the command interpreter prompt after having set the appropriate global variables. Remember that, in this case, a Packet Services server can only execute one Activity: that is, it can only make one Domain available. 12-13 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.5 Packet Services Before running the server, you must perform the following operations: o Set the name of the Activity in the BSTR_ACTIVITY global variable. This name bears no relation to any existing Application Management Services Activity object, and is simply a label used to identify messages in the LOG file. o Set the BSTR_DOMAIN global variable with the full name of the Domain that the server Activity is to make available. This name is also used to identify any corresponding snapshot. o Initialize the installation-dependent global variables by executing the bstrusers command file (see Appendix G). o Set the BSTR_REALM global variable with the name of the Realm on which the server is to run. o Set the BSTR_DBVERSION and BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY global variables (optional). For further information about global variables and how to set them, refer to Appendix G. The following example shows how to start the Packet Services server from DCL. The server makes the /PLANT /PRODUCTION/LINE2 Domain available. The server creates the Event Services default objects whose definitions are contained in the snapshot configuration identified by a major identifier equal to 2. $ @DISK3:[BSTR030.ETC]bstrusers $ DEFINE BSTR_REALM MY_Realm $ DEFINE BSTR_ACTIVITY "PACKET_ACT_PRODUCTION_LINE1" $ DEFINE BSTR_DOMAIN "/PLANT/PRODUCTION/LINE2" $ DEFINE BSTR_DBVERSION 2 $ SPAWN/NOWAIT RUN BSTR_BIN:mgm_server In the example, note that the server has been started as a background process; this is advisable, but not mandatory. To stop a Packet Services server use the STOP/ID="PID" OpenVMS/DCL command. Stopping a server using the STOP command causes the server to exit without performing the 12-14 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.5 Packet Services cleanup phase (some files may be left in the BASEstar Open working directory). 12-15 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.6 Data Services 12.6 Data Services A Data Services server can manage a maximum of 32 Activity executions. Each Activity execution makes the Data Services server objects visible in the associated Domain available to users. At startup, an Activity execution looks for the corresponding snapshot to create the default objects in the VODB. The executable name for the Program is ddm_server. This executable is placed in the $BSTR_BIN directory, located in the BASEstar Open installation directory (see Appendix G). 12.6.1 Environmental Variables This section describes the Data Services server environmental variables. For a full summary of the Data Services server environmental variables, refer to Table 12-2.

The Application Management Services start up the server when an execute message is sent to any of its Activities. For further information about how to configure and manage a Data Services server using the Application Management Services, refer to the BASEstar Open Command Language Interface. If you want to set one or more of the Data Services-specific global variables listed in Section 12.6.1, you must set them in the parameter file of the associated Program object. 12-17 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.6 Data Services The example that follows shows a valid parameter file for a Data Services server. Refer to Appendix H for details of the general structure of parameter files. However, remember that for a Data Services server only the global variables listed in Section 12.6.1 must be specified. /PROG_DATA_SERVER.env: BSTR_DATA_I_SIZE=1000 12.6.3 Starting Up and Shutting Down a Data Services Server from the Command Interpreter To start up a Data Services server from the command interpreter, run its executable image from the command interpreter prompt after having set the appropriate global variables. Remember that a Data Services server can only execute one Activity; that is, it can make only one Domain available. Before running the server, you must perform the following operations: o Set the name of the Activity in the BSTR_ACTIVITY global variable. This name bears no relation to any existing Application Management Services Activity object, but is simply a label used to identify messages in the LOG file. o Set the BSTR_DOMAIN global variable with the full name of the Domain that the server Activity is to make available. This name is also used to identify any corresponding snapshot. o Initialize the installation-dependent global variables by executing the bstrusers command file (see Appendix G). o Set the BSTR_REALM global variable with the name of the Realm on which the server is to run. o Set the BSTR_DBVERSION and BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY global variables (optional). For further information about global variables and how to set them, refer to Appendix G. 12-18 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.6 Data Services The example below shows how to start the Data Services server from DCL. The server makes the /PLANT/PRODUCTION /LINE2 Domain available. The server creates the Data Services server default objects whose definitions are contained in the snapshot configuration identified by a major identifier of 2. $ DISK3:[BSTR030.ETC]bstrusers $ DEFINE BSTR_REALM MY_Realm $ DEFINE BSTR_ACTIVITY "DATA_ACT_PRODUCTION_LINE1" $ DEFINE BSTR_DOMAIN "/PLANT/PRODUCTION/LINE2" $ DEFINE BSTR_DBVERSION 2 $ SPAWN/NOWAIT RUN BSTR_BIN:ddm_server Note that in this example the server has been started as a background process. This is advisable, but not mandatory. To stop an Data Services server use the STOP/ID="PID" OpenVMS DCL command. Stopping a server with the STOP command causes it to exit without performing the cleanup phase (some files may be left in the BASEstar Open working directory). 12-19 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.7 Device Services 12.7 Device Services One Device Services server can manage a maximum of 32 Activities, each capable of making a VMD and all its associated Device Services objects available. At run-time, each Activity looks for its VMD snapshot in the current snapshot configuration (specified during execution of the LOAD CONFIGURATION command). The objects made available by Device Services belong to the following classes: o Named_Variable o Polling_Set o Protocol_Profile o Unnamed_Variable o VMD o VMD_Extension_Parameter The executable name for the Program is ddm_server. This executable is placed in the $BSTR_BIN directory, under the BASEstar Open installation directory (see Appendix G). 12.7.1 Global Variables This section describes the global variables for a Device Services server. 12.7.1.1 Specifying the Calling VMD Some protocols require you to specify the addresses of both the calling and the called partner VMDs, so that the Device Services server can establish an association with the plant device. Before starting up the Device Services server from the command interpreter or the Application Management Services, specify the name of the calling VMD in the BSTR_LOCAL_VMD_NAME global variable. 12-20 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.7 Device Services 12.7.1.2 Specifying the Connection Retry Timeout to a VMD The value assigned to the BSTR_RETRY_CONN_TIME variable specifies how many seconds the Device Services server waits before trying to restart the association with the VMD after a failure. The default value is 30 seconds. For a full summary of the Device Services server environmental variables, refer to Table 12-3.

Application Management Services start up the server when an execute message is sent to any of its Activities. For further information about how to configure and manage a Device Services server using the Application Management Services, refer to the BASEstar Open Command Language Interface. If you want to set one or more of the Device Services global variables listed in Section 12.7.1, you must set them in the parameter file of the associated Program object. The example that follows shows a valid parameter file for a Device Services server. Refer to Appendix H for details of the general structure of parameter files. However, remember that for a Data Services server only the global variables listed in Section 12.7.1 must be specified. /PROG_DEVICE_SERVER_1.env: BSTR_LOCAL_VMD_NAME=DV_CALLING_VMD_1 /PROG_DEVICE_SERVER_1.env: BSTR_RETRY_CONN_TIME=15 12-22 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.7 Device Services 12.7.3 Starting Up and Shutting Down a Device Services Server from the Command Interpreter To start up a Device Services server from the command interpreter, run its executable image from the prompt after having set the appropriate global variables. Before running the server, you must perform the following actions: o Set the names of the Activities in the BSTR_ACTIVITY global variable. These names bear no relation to any existing Application Management Services Activity objects, but are simply labels used to identify messages in the LOG file. Names must be separated by blanks. o Set the BSTR_VMD global variable with the name of the VMD that the server Activity is to make available. These names are also used to identify the corresponding snapshot. o Initialize the installation-dependent global variables by executing the bstrusers command file (see Appendix G). o Set the BSTR_REALM global variable with the name of the Realm on which the server is to run. o Set the BSTR_DBVERSION and BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY global variables (optional). For further information about global variables and how to set them, refer to the Appendix G. The example that follows shows how to start a Device Services server from DCL. The server makes the PLC1 and PLC2 VMDs available. The server creates the default object definitions in the snapshot configuration identified by a major identifier equal to 2. (BASEstar Open has been installed under the @DISK3:[BSTR030.ETC] directory.) $ @DISK3:[BSTR030.ETC]bstrusers $ DEFINE BSTR_REALM MY_Realm $ DEFINE BSTR_ACTIVITY DVM_SERVER_PLC1 $ DEFINE BSTR_VMD PLC1 $ DEFINE BSTR_DBVERSION 2 $ SPAWN/NOWAIT RUN BSTR_BIN:ddm_server 12-23 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.7 Device Services Note that in this example the server has been started as a background process. This is advisable, but not mandatory. To stop a Device Services server, use the OpenVMS DCL command STOP/ID="PID". Stopping a server with the STOP command causes it to exit without performing the cleanup phase (some files may be left in the BASEstar Open working directory). 12-24 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.8 Combined Data & Device Services 12.8 Combined Data & Device Services The BASEstar Open Data & Device Services combine under a single server the functionality provided by the individual Data Services and Device Services components. This improves performance by eliminating the need for inter-process communication between the Data Manager (DTM) and the Device Manager (DVM). 12.8.1 Environmental Variables Table 12-4 contains a full summary of the Data & Device Services server environmental variables.

To configure the Data & Device Services server to do this, follow these steps: 1. Define the BSTR_LOCAL_VMD_NAME environment variable as the local VMD name. 2. Define the BSTR_CONN_MODE environment variable as "PASSIVE"[1]. The example below establishes a passive connection via the local VMD name DATADEV_CALLING_VMD_1. /PROG_DEVICE_SERVER_1.env: BSTR_LOCAL_VMD_NAME=DATADEV_CALLING_VMD_1 /PROG_DEVICE_SERVER_1.env: BSTR_CONN_NODE=PASSIVE ____________________ [1] If you do not define BSTR_CONN_MODE variable, or if you define it as "ACTIVE", the Data & Device Services server establishes the connection actively 12-27 BASEstar Open-Supplied Servers 12.9 PC Communication Servers 12.9 PC Communication Servers Using a PC Communication server, it is possible for BASEstar Open applications running on client Nodes to manage objects of a Realm that has been started up on the server Nodes of a distributed BASEstar Open environment. A PC Communication server accepts TCP/IP service requests from BASEstar Open MS Windows client Nodes and dispatches them to the appropriate Realm servers. BASEstar Open starts a PC Communication server on all the Nodes where the Realm is started. It is important that you remember this so that you can balance the load of each PC Communication server (and consequently of each Node) by configuring the client Nodes appropriately. (See the BASEstar Open Client Management Guide for details of how to install, configure and manage BASEstar Open on client PCs.) 12-28 13 _________________________________________________________________ Application Management Services Monitor 13.1 Introduction The Application Management Services Monitor is capable of detecting and displaying changes in the attributes of the Application Management Services objects of a given Realm as they occur. Attribute changes are generally caused by the following events: o Messages sent to the objects in question from users that issue CLI commands, or applications that invoke API procedures; for example, an Actor executed via the ACTOR EXECUTE CLI command. o Asynchronous occurrences that take place within the system resources; for instance, an Activity execution that terminates autonomously, or a system process in which a Program execution is run, that terminates abnormally. You can run the Application Management Services Monitor from any VTxxx terminal; the information displayed always reflects the real time situation. The Monitor is user- friendly, with simple command keystrokes and consistent screen menus. 13.2 Running Application Management Services Monitor To run the Application Management Services Monitor, perform the following steps: 1. Ensure you have the quotas and privileges of a Realm user (see Section 10.1.1.1 for details). 2. Check that the BASEstar Open environment has been started up successfully on the Node that is to run the Monitor (see Chapter 9 for details). 13-1 Application Management Services Monitor 13.2 Running Application Management Services Monitor 3. Make sure that the installation-dependent global variables have been initialized for the login user. To initialize the installation-dependent global variables, execute the bstrusers script. You must also define the BSTR_REALM global variable as the name of the Realm that you want to address. For further information about global variables, refer to Appendix G. 4. Enter the following from the command interpreter prompt: $ ams_mon The Monitor displays several screens of objects, together with their associated attributes. These screens are called views. There is one view for each Application Management Services object: o Actor view o Activity view o Program view o Process view o Node view The default view, that appears when you invoke the Application Management Services Monitor, is the Actor view (see Figure 13-2). 13.3 General Characteristics The general characteristics of the Application Management Services Monitor are described below. Attribute Windows The Application Management Services Monitor displays the attributes of an Application Management Services object by means of Attribute windows. Each attribute is displayed on a separate line, in two columns (one column contains the name of the attribute field and the other contains its value). 13-2 Application Management Services Monitor 13.3 General Characteristics The names of the attribute fields do not always strictly correspond to the names of the attributes in the BASEstar Open Reference Guide, as they are often abbreviated. However, they always call the corresponding attribute, unless otherwise specified. Command Line The command line at the bottom of the screen displays the available options for the current view. These options include moving from one view to another, switching to another window on a selected object, changing the cursor mode or quitting the Application Management Services Monitor. The options are accessed by selecting the highlighted mnemonic or by pressing the key to switch between windows (see Figure 13-2). Selected Object When the cursor is positioned on an object, the object is highlighted and automatically becomes the selected object. Truncated Fields Fields that do not fit into a window are truncated and the # symbol is displayed to the left and/or right of the field, depending on where it was truncated. Truncated fields may be viewed in their entirety by positioning the cursor on the required object and then scrolling to the left or right using the following keys: ___________________________________________________________ Key______________Function__________________________________ SPACE Scroll left DELETE___________Scroll_right______________________________ Cursor Mode The default mode is user-mode, where the cursor is user- driven; that is, it only moves when instigated by the user. In the follow-updates mode, the cursor follows the Application Management Services objects as they are updated. In this mode, the cursor is automatically positioned on the most recently modified object in the current view. 13-3 Application Management Services Monitor 13.3 General Characteristics To invoke Cursor Mode, enter the mnemonic command "M". The Application Management Services Monitor remains within the same view and the command line at the bottom of the screen changes (see Figure 13-1).

The cursor is positioned on the Actor object ACTOR_1 and therefore displays the component Activities of that Actor in the bottom window. The attribute window displays the attributes of that Actor. The upper left window is the Actor Tree window, which displays the Realm Actor tree. The highlighted cursor is initially positioned in this window. You can use the cursor movement keys to move around the tree of Actor objects by means of the up and down cursor movement keys. 13-5 Application Management Services Monitor 13.4 Views When the cursor is positioned on an Actor, the full name of the Actor is displayed on the top line of the screen. The component Activities of the selected Actor are listed in the bottom window (the Activity window). The attributes of the selected Actor object are displayed in the upper right window (the attribute window). The Actor tree is displayed in order of name. The Actor names have different terminal attributes, depending on their current Actor state, as follows: ___________________________________________________________ Terminal Attribute________Actor_State_______________________________ Normal IDLE Blink STARTING Highlight RUNNING Blink + SHUTTING Highlight Normal PARTIALLY_RUNNING Normal___________RECOVERY_IN_PROGRESS______________________ The Activity window at the bottom of the screen displays the list of Activities that are components of the selected Actor. In order to display the attributes of an Activity, select the Activity window by pressing . If it is not possible to view all the Activities at the same time, you can use the up and down cursor movement keys to move the cursor through the list of Activity objects and then select the required Activity object. The attribute window displays the attributes of the selected Activity. The top line of the screen displays the full name of the Activity. 13-6 Application Management Services Monitor 13.4 Views Figure 13-3 Actor View with Activity Attributes +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ACTIVITY: /ACTOR_1/SERVER_ACTIVITY | | | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | / | ACTOR ATTRIBUTES | | | | | | +---- ACTOR_1 << | Description: (N/A) | | +---- ACTOR_2 | Program: /program_example_2 | | | Profile: (N/A) | | | Running on: current_node | | | State: RUNNING | | | Breakpoints: | | | Start prio: 10 | | | Shut prio: 230 | | | Start tim.: 30 | | | Shut tim.: 30 | | | Recovery: NECESSARY | | | | +------------------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ACTIVITY_1 ACTIVITY_4 | | ACTIVITY_2 SERVER_ACTIVITY | | ACTIVITY_3 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ The example in Figure 13-3 illustrates the Activity components of the Actor ACTOR_1. The cursor is positioned on the Activity SERVER_ACTIVITY and the attribute window displays its attributes. Press the key to select the Actor window once again. The command line at the bottom of the screen displays the available options. In the case of the Actors view, menu options include jumping to another view, changing the cursor mode, quitting the Application Management Services Monitor, or switching between the Actor window and the Activity window as follows: ___________________________________________________________ Option___________Command_____________Function______________ [ENTER] toggle key To move between windows 13-7 Application Management Services Monitor 13.4 Views ___________________________________________________________ Option___________Command_____________Function______________ aCtivities C To invoke Activity view Programs P To invoke Program view Processes R To invoke Process view Nodes N To invoke Node view cursor-Mode M User Mode or Follow Updates Quit Q To exit Application Management Services _____________________________________Monitor_______________ 13.4.2 Activity View Figure 13-4 illustrates how the Activity view displays all the Activity objects in the Realm.

They are grouped according to Actor and sorted by full name. The top line of the screen displays the full name of the selected Activity and the Attribute window displays its attributes. The "Running On" attribute in the Attribute window is a combination of the start_enabled, master_state and current_ node attributes, that is, it can acquire values of all of these attributes. It can therefore acquire the following values: o DISABLED - same value as the start_enabled attribute o Not Running - a combination of the start_enabled attribute with the ENABLE value and the master_state attribute with the IDLE value o Name of the current Node - same value as the current_ node attribute 13-9 Application Management Services Monitor 13.4 Views The command line at the bottom of the screen displays the available options.

The highlighted cursor is initially positioned in this window. You can use the up and down cursor movement keys to move it through the list of Program objects. The top line of the screen displays the full name of the selected Program. The Attributes window (upper right window) displays all the attributes of the selected Program. The Process window (bottom window) displays the list of processes that are instances of the selected Program; that is, its associated Program executions. Alternatively, if this Program has not been executed, the message "No processes" is displayed. Should it not be possible to view all of the processes together, select this window by pressing , and use the up and down cursor movement keys to move the cursor through the list of processes. This window displays each process on a separate line, in three columns (the first column contains the process identifier, the second contains its state and the third contains the node on which the process is running).

A Log Services server process is activated on each Node, and performs the following functions: o Collects log records sent to it from the other Node- specific components and writes them to the Node log file. o Collects log records from the components specific to the Realms that have been started up on the Node and writes them to the Realm log file. The Log Services server creates a log file for each Realm that has been started up. The information collected in the log files is primarily intended to help Digital support personnel, but you can also use it for monitoring the behavior of and actions performed by your environment components. 14.1 Saving Copies of Log Files The Log Services operator interface consists of the commands shown in Table 14-1 (see Chapter 15 for a complete description). 14-1 Log Services Features 14.1 Saving Copies of Log Files Table_14-1_Log_Services_CLI_Commands_______________________ Command_Name________________Description____________________ OPEN LOG Swaps the contents of a log file working copy into a save copy. DISPLAY LOG Displays the contents of a log ____________________________file_working_copy._____________ You can swap the contents of a working copy log file into a save copy by using the OPEN LOG command which also empties up the log file working copy. The OPEN LOG command appends a user-specified string at the end of the just created save copy, and inserts the same string at the top of the emptied log file working copy. Working and save copies of the log files are assigned the following names, where N is a number that is assigned sequentially: o The name of the log file working copy for the current Node is BASESTARNODE.log, whereas the save copies have name BASESTARNODE_N.log. o The name of the working copy log file for a Realm log file is realm_name.log, whereas the save copies have name realm_name_N.log. 14.1.1 Log File Location On any started up Node, log files are stored under the following directory: BSTR_WORK_ROOT:[node.log] 14.1.2 Purging Log Files All the log files that have been created on a Node, except the working copies, can be deleted by specifying the -c option when executing the bstr_node_start command for that Node. 14-2 Log Services Features 14.2 Log File Record Format 14.2 Log File Record Format Log files are ASCII files containing log records whose format is defined by BASEstar Open and consists of: o The sequence number associated with a log message generated by the Log Services server. This number is reset to 0 when the Log Services server is started up (that is, when the bstr_node_start command is executed), and is incremented by 1 for each message that is generated. A log message is written by the Log Services server to one log file.

You must perform different operations depending on whether you want to display a working copy or save copy of a log file. 14-9 Log Services Features 14.2 Log File Record Format See Section 14.1 to know about where log files are stored and about log file naming conventions. 14.2.1.1 Displaying a Save Copy To display a save copy of a log file you can use any command or utility you wish that can be used to display an ASCII file. 14.2.1.2 Displaying a Working Copy The working copy log files are opened by the Log Services server and thus they cannot be displayed by using the standard tools when the Node is started up. Thus, the DISPLAY LOG command has been provided to allow the display of log file working copies. This command also can display the last lines of a log file automatically refreshing them as soon as a new record is inserted in the displayed log file. This allows you to monitor record insertion in the selected log file. 14.3 Log Services Server Activities The Log Services server process is a Node-specific component which is started up when the bstr_node_start command is executed. Actually, it is the first process to be started up, so the other Nodes find it already available. In its turn, the Log Services server logs some record information regarding general happenings and unrecoverable errors detected during its own operation in the platform- dependent system log. For example, as soon as the Log Services server is started up, it logs the following message to the system log file: Jul 14 11:35:12 localhost: 21124 BASESTAR LOG: Server started, output file: ./log_server.out, log directory: ./ 14-10 15 _________________________________________________________________ Log Services Command Reference 15-1 DISPLAY LOG _________________________________________________________________ DISPLAY LOG Displays the contents of a log file working copy. Format DISPLAY LOG Command Qualifier Default [-REALM realm_name] Current Realm [-NODE] Current Node [-HEAD head_lines] 10 [-TAIL tail_lines] 10 [-CONTINUE] Description The DISPLAY LOG command allows you to display records from both Realm and Node log file working copies. The -REALM and -NODE qualifiers are mutually exclusive: o If you specify the -REALM qualifier, the realm_name argument indicates the name of the Realm. o If you specify the -NODE qualifier, BASEstar Open displays the log file for the Node that you are addressing. o If you do not specify either the -REALM or the -NODE qualifier, BASEstar Open assumes the value of the -NODE qualifier by default. If you provide a value for the head_lines (tail_lines) argument, the DISPLAY LOG command displays the requested lines starting from the top (bottom) of the selected log file. If you specify both the -CONTINUE and -TAIL qualifiers, the DISPLAY LOG command displays the last tail_lines and refresh them automatically as soon as a new record is inserted in the displayed log file. This allows you to monitor record insertion in the selected log file. To terminate execution of a command, press 15-2 DISPLAY LOG Qualifiers -REALM realm_name The realm_name argument specifies the local name of the Realm whose log file you want to display. The Realm in question already be started on the current Node. This qualifier and the -NODE qualifier are mutually exclusive. -NODE Directs the DISPLAY LOG command to display the log file of the current Node. This qualifier and the -NODE qualifier are mutually exclusive. If you do not specify either the -REALM or the -NODE qualifier, BASEstar Open assumes the value of the -NODE qualifier by default. -HEAD head_lines Directs the command to display the number of lines specified by the head_lines argument starting from the top of the selected log file. The -TAIL and -HEAD qualifiers are mutually exclusive. -TAIL tail_lines Directs the command to display the number of lines specified by the tail_lines argument starting from the bottom of the selected log file. The -TAIL and -HEAD qualifiers are mutually exclusive. -CONTINUE Directs the DISPLAY LOG command to display the last tail_ lines and to refresh them as soon as a new record is inserted in the displayed log file. This allows you to monitor record insertion in the selected log file. When specified, the -CONTINUE qualifier must be specified together with the -TAIL qualifier. 15-3 OPEN LOG _________________________________________________________________ OPEN LOG Swaps the contents of a log file working copy into a save copy. Format OPEN LOG Command Qualifier Default [-REALM realm_name] Current Realm [-NODE] Current Node [-DESCRIPTION string] No Description Description The OPEN LOG command performs the following actions for the current Node or the specified Realm: 1. Closes the working copy log file and renames it into a save copy. 2. Appends the string specified by the -DESCRIPTION qualifier at the end of the just created save copy. 3. Creates and opens a new empty working copy log file and inserts the same string specified by the -DESCRIPTION qualifier. The -REALM and -NODE qualifiers are mutually exclusive. If neither the -REALM nor the -NODE qualifier is specified, the -NODE qualifier is assumed by default. Assuming that N is a progressively assigned number: o The name of the log file for the current Node is BASESTARNODE.log, while save copies have name BASESTARNODE_N.log. o The name of the log file for a Realm log file is realm_ name.log, while save copies have name BASESTARNODE- N.log. Log files are stored under the following directory: BSTR_WORK_ROOT:[node.log] 15-4 OPEN LOG Qualifiers -REALM realm_name Tells the OPEN LOG command to address the working copy of the log file for the realm_name. If you do not specify this qualifier, BASEstar Open assumes by default the Realm specified by the BSTR_REALM global variable. The Realm in question must already be started on the current Node. This qualifier and the -NODE qualifier are mutually exclusive. -NODE Tells the OPEN LOG command to address the working copy of the log file for the current Node. This qualifier and the -NODE qualifier are mutually exclusive. If you do not specify either the -REALM or the -NODE qualifier, BASEstar Open assumes the -NODE qualifier by default. -DESCRIPTION string User-defined information that appears at the end of a save copy and at the top of the working copy log file. The description need not conform to any format and must be enclosed between quotation marks (" "). The string argument is a string of maximum 128 characters. 15-5 Part IV _________________________________________________________________ Appendices This section contains a series of appendices pertaining to the installation and management of BASEstar Open Server on OpenVMS: o Files and Logical Names Installed by BASEstar Open Server o BASEstar Open Installation Messages o Sample Installation Log Files for BASEstar Open Server on OpenVMS o Additional Files Created During Installation o Device Connection Manager Installation Messages o Sample Installation Log File of the Device Connection Manager o BASEstar Open Global Variables o Environment and Parameter Files o Environment Component Processes o Managing Snapshot Files in a Distributed Environment A _________________________________________________________________ Files and Logical Names Installed by BASEstar Open Server The BASEstar Open Server installation procedure creates some directories, installs a number of files, and defines some logical names, as listed in the following sections.

The values of the global variables depend on the values you specified when installing BASEstar Open and executing the bstr_node_setup command. To set the values of the global variables for a user, you must execute the appropriate command file which is stored in the /etc directory. G.3 BSTR_REALM Global Variable The BSTR_REALM global variable contains the name of the Realm on which you wish to perform operations. Assign a valid Realm name to this global variable as required (before activating the BASEstar Open CLI or a BASEstar Open application from the command interpreter). You can enter the following command line at the DCL prompt: DCL> DEFINE BSTR_REALM MY_REALM G-9 BASEstar Open Global Variables G.4 Global Variables for Server Activation G.4 Global Variables for Server Activation Before activating an Event Services or Data & Device Services server from the command interpreter, you must set the global variables to the appropriate values, as described in Chapter 12. Note that if you activate a server via Application Management Services, BASEstar Open sets the values for these variables automatically. G.5 Application Management Services Global Variables The bstr_initialize function returns the BSTR_PROGRAM and BSTR_DIRECTORY global variables when BASEstar Open activates a user-written application via the Application Management Services. Appendix H explains how to set one or more user-defined global variables that Application Management Services make available to the activated Program execution. G-10 H _________________________________________________________________ Environment and Parameter Files This appendix describes the format and contents of the following files: o The environment file whose pathname is specified in the environment attribute of a Node object. o The parameters file whose pathname is specified in the parameters attribute of a Program object. These files are optional; if you do not create them, Application Management Services set up the environment using default values. You can also use an ASCII editor to create the files. H.1 General Record Format Each record in the environment or parameter file must be terminated by pressing the key. If one or more blank characters are left at the beginning of a line, the entire line (up to ) is assumed to be a comment. The record format follows the syntax shown below: object.item:value where: o object represents: - The full name of a Program in a Program parameter file. This means that you can specify parameters relating to different Programs in the same file. - The local name of a Node object in a Node environment file. This means that you can specify parameters relating to different Nodes in the same file. o item represents a valid item identifier (according to the type of file). H-1 Environment and Parameter Files H.1 General Record Format o value represents the value of item. H-2 Environment and Parameter Files H.2 Format of the File for the Node environment Attribute H.2 Format of the File for the Node environment Attribute This section describes the format and the contents of the file whose pathname can be specified in the environment attribute of a Node object. This file contains the value for one or more global variables. The Application Management Services server sets the values for these global variables at Node startup time for all the processes activated on the Node that run the image associated with any Program. You can use these global variables to: o Express the pathnames set as values of the Program parameters and image attributes o Set the values for the input, output and error items of a Program parameter file Table H-1 describes the valid keywords for item. Table H-1 Valid Values of the File for the Node environment __________Attribute________________________________________ Item IdentifierType______Description____________________________ env string Each env argument identifies a BASEstar Open global variable, and the value to be assigned to it.

If specified, it must be set to the NOUAF value. If flag is not specified, any privileges and quotas specified in the parameter file are ignored. Before running the Program execution, the login.com command procedure of the "Realm user" is executed and the Program execution is assigned the quotas and the privileges associated with the "Realm user" (see Section 12.3.1.1 for details). If flag is specified, the Program execution is assigned the quotas and the privileges specified in the parameter file. If the parameter file does not contain a value for the privileges, then TMPMBX, GRPNAM and NETMBX are assumed by default. If the parameter file does not contain a value for a given quota (or contains a zero value), then the quota is assigned the system default value. You obtain default values by running SYSGEN to display the corresponding SYSGEN parameter. Default values in SYSGEN are named PQL_Dxxxxx where xxxxx is the quota name.

The main purpose of this appendix is to enable a system administrator to monitor (using standard tools) the processes that implement environment components (activated by environment commands in transparent mode). Note that BASEstar Open: o Activates the processes that implement Node-specific components when you execute the bstr_node_start command. o Activates the processes that implement Realm-specific components when you execute the bstr_realm_start_node command See Chapter 8 and Chapter 10 for a description of the environment components and the environment commands, respectively.

However, if you wish to perform operations on a Realm of a multi-node and distributed BASEstar Open environment, you must identify the snapshot files for each server Node on which the Realm is to be started up, and make them accessible to the BASEstar Open-supplied servers. The information in this appendix is only addressed to users who are running BASEstar Open in a multi-node distributed environment. Note that there is no need to make snapshot files accessible from a client Node. This appendix describes: o The location of snapshot files and directories in a PODB Node o Platform-dependent tools for accessing snapshot files from Nodes other than the PODB Node. J.1 Using Configuration Management Commands in a Multi-Node Environment You can use the following CLI commands to create and manage snapshot files: o GENERATE SNAPSHOT o DUMP SNAPSHOT o GET INFO SNAPSHOT o PURGE SNAPSHOT o RESET SNAPSHOT o UPGRADE SNAPSHOT For further information, refer to the BASEstar Open Command Language Interface. J-1 Managing Snapshot Files in a Distributed Environment J.1 Using Configuration Management Commands in a Multi-Node Environment It is important to specify that for a given Realm: o Snapshot management CLI commands can be executed by any user active on any Node o Execution of snapshot management CLI commands create snapshot files only under the snapshot directory on the PODB Node. J.2 Snapshot File Location On a PODB Node, snapshot files are stored in the following directory: BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[realm_name.version_version] where: o BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY is the global variable that specifies the root directory where BASEstar Open stores snapshot configuration files created on the PODB Node. o The realm_name subdirectory is the directory where snapshot files are created for the corresponding Realm. o There is a version_version subdirectory for each snapshot configuration version that has been created, where version is a three-digit version number padded with zeroes. For example, directory $BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY/my_realm/version_ 002 contains the snapshot files for version 2 of the my_ realm Realm. Note also that: o The $BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY/realm_name directory is created on a Node when the bstr_realm_setup_node has been executed on that Node for the realm_name Realm. o A version subdirectory is created each time the GENERATE SNAPSHOT command is executed for the Realm. J.3 The BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY Global Variable The examples described in this appendix assume that the $BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY global variable has been set to its default value. See Appendix G for details. J-2 Managing Snapshot Files in a Distributed Environment J.4 Making Snapshot Files Accessible J.4 Making Snapshot Files Accessible Two options are available to make snapshot files accessible: o By installing the snapshot directory on a shared disk o By copying the snapshot files on each Node that requires them. J.4.1 Installing Snapshot Directories on a Shared Disk There must be only one copy of the snapshot files, and it is the original copy created by the snapshot CLI commands under the snapshot directories of the PODB Node, as explained in Section J.2. All existing snapshots (and those that have to be created) on the PODB Node are accessible from all the cluster systems. No further operations are necessary. Make sure that the Node from which you access the directory is a member of the cluster to which the shared disk belongs. J.4.2 Copying Snapshot Files Via DECnet A copy of the snapshot files for a given Realm must exist on each Node. This means creating an appropriate subtree of the $BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY directory on any Node that requires it.Copy the snapshot files from the PODB Node using any command or utility you find appropriate. You must repeat the operations described below for each Realm to be accessed in the multi-node environment. Creating the Snapshot Subtree on a Node You must perform the following operations: o Execute the bstr_realm_setup_node for realm_name. This command also creates the $BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY snapshot root directory and the $BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY[.realm_name] directory. You must perform this operation only once on a Node for the realm_name Realm. o Create as many version_version directories under the $BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY[.realm_name] directory as many snapshot versions you want to use for the realm_name Realm. J-3 Managing Snapshot Files in a Distributed Environment J.4 Making Snapshot Files Accessible For example, to create the version three snapshot directory you can enter the following command: $ create/dir BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[my_realm.VERSION_003]/prot=[o:rwe,g:rwe,s=rwe,w:] What to Copy and How On all the Nodes from which the snapshot files for the realm_name Realm and version version have to be made accessible, you must copy all the files under the BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[realm_name] and BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[realm_name.version_version] directories on the PODB Node, to the directories having the same name on the current Node. You can use any command or utility you find appropriate. Only the user who issued the bstr_realm_setup_node command (that is, the Realm user) can copy the snapshot files to the destination Node. For example, to copy with the DECnet copy command all snapshot files for the my_realm Realm and version 3, you can manage as follows (where NODEA is the DECnet name of the system hosting the PODB Node): % copy/log NODEA"username password"::BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[my_realm]*.*- BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[my_realm]*.*/prot=(o:rwed,g:re,s:rwed,w:]- /excl=*.dir % copy/log NODEA"username password"::BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[my_realm.version_003]- *.* BSTR_DBACCESS_KEY:[my_realm.version_003]- *.*/prot=(o:rwed,g:re,s:rwed,w:) You must repeat these operations for each version of the snapshot files you want to make accessible. When to Copy the Snapshot Files You must copy the snapshot files each time you perform an UPGRADE SNAPSHOT or a GENERATE SNAPSHOT operation. In this latter case, you must first create the directory, as explained in Creating the Snapshot Subtree on a Node.
