Key

Value

Connections

Number of parallel connections the monitoring extension uses when retrieving values from the TPF host.

Connection number relates to the configuration setting of the IPBridge set up on the TPF Host.

If no connection number is stated, the default is 1.

Description

Description of the TPF Host

EncodingCharset

Character set the monitoring extension uses for ASCII/EBCDIC conversion when communicating with the TPF host.

If no encoding character set is stated, the monitoring extension uses an internal default translation table.

Host (required)

Name or IP address of the TPF host

Port (required)

TCP/IP port number that the TPF Host/IPBridge receives requests through. This is not the same as the WebSphere MQ listener port

PutLevel

Put Level of the TPF system. For PutLevel 17, 18, 19, or 20 set the value to 17. For PutLevel 21 or 22 set the value to 21.

ScrollDisplayTerminator

Character the TPF system uses to terminate its scroll display output in two-character hex notation as defined by the local character set. This parameter is optional. The default is a vertical bar not the number one [1] or the lowercase L [l].)

NOTE: Use the character as encoded due to the character set on the system running the TPF monitoring extension. Do not use the character set used by the TPF system.

For instance, ScrollDisplayTerminator-7C denotes the scroll display terminator to be a vertical bar '|' in the character set ISO-8859-1.

ScrollDisplayTerminator-29 denotes the scroll display terminator to be a closing bracket ')' in the character set ISO-8859-1.

TimeOut

Timeout in milliseconds. After this period has passed, the monitoring extension stops waiting for a response to a request sent to the TPF host.

If the value is set to -1 or omitted, the monitoring extension waits forever for a response.
