How can I Manage Percent Routines on a Remote Caché System?
Applies to: VC/m 3.1 onwards
From version 3.1, VC/m is able to manage %-routines directly on a remote Caché system connected via DCP or ECP networking. Prior to 3.1 a remote task server process was needed in order to achieve this. (This functionality is also available as patch reference L3825 for VC/m 3.0.3.)
This requires only that the local system has a namespace with suitable mappings and that the remote system is running as a DCP or ECP server.
Set-up Procedure
For two Caché systems, named LOCAL and REMOTE, with a full copy of VC/m installed on the LOCAL system:
- Ensure that the REMOTE system is enabled as a DCP or ECP server.
- On the LOCAL system, create a new namespace called REMOTE-SYS.
- Map the new namespace to a database called REMOTE-SYS. This should be defined as a remote database which references the CACHESYS database on the REMOTE system.
- For the REMOTE-SYS namespace, add an explicit mapping for the routines you need to manage (eg %Z* routines) to the REMOTE-SYS database.
For the REMOTE-SYS namespace, add the normal VC/m routine and global mappings of %vc* to the VC/m database.
The cpf file should look something like this:
[Datasets]
DataSet_1=CACHESYS,,,0,P,0,0
DataSet_2=VCM,d:\vcm\,,0,P,0,0
DataSet_3=REMOTE-SYS,c:\cachesys\mgr\,REMOTE,0,P,0,0
[Namespaces]
Nsp_1=%SYS,CACHESYS,CACHESYS,CACHESYS,CACHESYS,CACHELIB,CACHETEMP
Nsp_2=VCM,VCM,CACHESYS,VCM,CACHESYS,CACHELIB,CACHETEMP
Nsp_3=REMOTE-SYS,REMOTE-SYS,CACHESYS,REMOTE-SYS,CACHESYS,CACHELIB,CACHETEMP
[NspMap.VCM]
GloMap_1=%vc*,VCM,VCM,0,-1,
RouMap_1=%vc*,ALL,VCM
[NspMap.REMOTE-SYS]
GloMap_1=%vc*,VCM,VCM,0,-1,
RouMap_1=%Z*,ALL,REMOTE-SYS
RouMap_2=%vc*,ALL,VCM
- Create a VC/m location which maps to the REMOTE-SYS namespace and use it as you would a normal location.
