Server Program

Server Program Summary

The Virtual Analyser Server program can be initiated by one of two methods; batch or through an NX/Services Named Pipe interface.

Server Files Installation

DANAL4 Host collector - File type ALGOL/DMALGOL

PARAM Parameter File - File type DATA

Both of these files must be copied down on to the host, right-click and drag onto mapped network drive.

DANAL4 (DMALGOL filetype) must be compiled on DMS 4.6, or greater, software level. The resultant object file should be saved/installed under a privileged Usercode to be able to access all the files that compose the database.

Compile statements in CANDE

GET DANAL4;C WITH DMALGOL;SA

Batch Parameter File Configuration

PARAM must be renamed as NMR/PARAM under the same Usercode as DANAL4 above or as a Public Unusercoded file. The PARAM file then must be amended to include a record for each database that you may want to analyse. The format of the record is as below:-

000001%LINC17DB%LINC%LINCPACK%LINC%LINCPACK%DEVL%

Each field is terminated by a '%' the order of the fields is:-

1. nnnnnn - logical number of database - fixed six digit length

2. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - Database Name - variable length up to 17 characters

3. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - Description Files Usercode- variable length up to 17 characters

4. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - Description Files Family - variable length up to 17 characters

5. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - Control Files Usercode - variable length up to 17 characters

6. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - Control Files Family - variable length up to 17 characters

7. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - Server Name (Host name) - variable length up to 17 characters

Batch Mode Initiation

Once you have added the database to the Parameter file you may initiate the program directly through CANDE by entering;

RUN DANAL4; VALUE = 3

Where 3 is the database logical number in the parameter file.

If the Server program is to be initiated through WFL then the following JOB can be used

BEGIN JOB DANAL;

RUN OBJECT/DANAL4; VALUE = 3;

END JOB;

Server Program Output

Once run a batch output file is created it is given the naming convention:-

(<Server Program Usercode>)DBANAL/<nnnnnn>/<dbname>/"<yyyymmddhhmmss>.nmr" ON <Server Program Family>

Where ‘nnnnnn’ is the logical database number in the parameter file.

The output file is already in byte stream ASCII format and can be either dragged up into client directory using Windows Explorer, FTP'ed or have a network share mapped onto the output directory. When the file is saved in the Client Program it will be automatically transferred to the PC's Saved Batch File Directory.

Named Pipe Configuration

For the On-line portion of the Server program to function an NX/Services Named Pipe will need to be configured using NX/Admincenter.

Named Pipe Name VAPIPE

Named Pipe Type: Initiated

Port File Name VAPIPE

Code File Title (<Server Program Usercode>)OBJECT/DANAL4 ON <Server Program Family>

Port file Size 5000

Note

This facility is not available with version 4.13 or demonstration versions
