Server configuration

The information in this section is pertinent only if you created more than one shortcut. If you created only one shortcut, the Find Key (FNDKEYOND) command will function correctly using the default port number, and nothing further needs to be done.

If you created more than one shortcut, you should also have specified different port numbers for the shortcuts. Since the FNDKEYOND command must use the same port numbers which you specified on the shortcuts, it is necessary to configure the command on the server systems to use the specified ports.

The FNDKEYOND command checks for the existence of a data area named QRLMFKPORT, in library QUSRRDARS. If this data area does not exist, the commands will use the default port number (3005). If the data area exists, the FNDKEYOND command will use the port number found in the data area contents. The first five characters of the data area contents represent the port number which the FNDKEYOND command should use. The next five characters are no longer used and will be ignored. To create this data area, enter the following:

CRTDTAARA QUSRRDARS/QRLMFKPORT TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10) VALUE('AAAAABBBBB') where AAAAA is the FNDKEYOND port number and BBBBB is no longer used and will be ignored.

For example, to specify that FNDKEYOND, on this system, should use port 3007, specify VALUE('0300700000'). It is important that the five-position port number be right-aligned within the first five positions of the data area value, with leading zeros if necessary. Enter 00000 for the last five positions that are no longer used.

If there are multiple Content Manager OnDemand servers in your network, and there are workstations which will display FNDKEYOND output from these systems, you must configure the FNDKEYOND command on these systems to use unique port numbers. Create the data area on the systems where it is necessary to change the port assignments for the FNDKEYOND command. For example, on SYSTEMA, specify VALUE('0300500000'), and on SYSTEMB specify VALUE('0300700000'). It is imperative that these commands on multiple systems in the network use different port numbers.
