Supported configuration parameters

The Linux client provides most of the information required by the host server program. The host server program has only a few configuration parameters. The default values for these parameters are appropriate in most cases.

CASE
Specifies whether the host server program should convert text OUTPUT parameter values to upper case. The following OUTPUT parameters are affected:
  • ADDRESS
  • BUILDING
  • DEPARTMENT
  • NAME
  • ROOM
  • TITLE

The CASE parameter does not affect some other OUTPUT parameter values, which are always converted to upper case:

  • CLASS
  • DESTINATION
  • FORMDEF
  • FORMS
  • WRITER
MIXED
Accept the text values as provided by the Linux client.
Note: Some code pages used by fonts printed on header and trailer pages do not include lower case characters.
UPPER
Convert all alphabetic English characters to upper case.

PORTNUM
Specifies the TCP port number at which the host server program accepts connection requests from clients. Valid values are 1 to 65535, but values above 5000 are recommended. The default value is 6001.
TASN
Specifies the name of the z/OS TCP/IP address space. The default value is TCPIP.
TRACE
Specifies whether the host server program should record its internal flow in the data set referenced in the SYSPRINT DD statement.
Note: Using a TRACE value other than NONE degrades performance. You should specify a value other than NONE only if directed to do so by an IBM service representative.
DS
Record transmitted and received data, as well as the internal execution path.
NONE
Do not record trace information. The host server program only writes configuration and error information in the SYSPRINT data set.
NORM
Record the internal execution path.
