Path record
The ndm.path record identifies the path to IBM® Connect:Direct® files. The following table describes the parameter available for this record:
Parameter | Description | Value | Restart Required |
---|---|---|---|
path |
The path to all IBM Connect:Direct subdirectories and files. | path specification | Not Applicable Note: Not recommended to be changed. If changed,
restart is required.

SNODE work path parameter
The snode.work.path parameter is part of the ndm.path
record and identifies the path to the shared work area for SNODE work files. This path must point to
a cluster file system, such as IBM's GPFS, or a Network File System version 4 (NFSv4) or greater
resource. This includes the Amazon Elastic File System (EFS), as it is mounted via NFSv4 protocol.
NFSv3 is not supported. This optional parameter provides a means to share SNODE work files among
nodes in a load balancing environment. SNODE return code files (steprc files) and
copy checkpoint information are created in this area when the
snode.work.path parameter is specified. The following table describes the
snode.work.path parameter:
Parameter | Description | Value | Restart Required |
---|---|---|---|
snode.work.path | The path to the shared work area for SNODE work files. Note: Specify the same path for all nodes in a cluster.
|
path specification | No |
Process Library location parameter
The default value of this parameter is <installation directory>/process, which will be created during installation with the appropriate permissions. A corresponding initparm with the name 'process.dir' is added pointing to this path.
In case the Connect:Direct Admin chooses an alternative location for the process library, this directory must have UNIX permission 1775. Also, the parent directory of the new location should have permissions such that Connect:Direct admin can perform read/write on the new 'process library'. The initparm 'process.dir' pointing to the default process library should also be updated to point to the new location.
The process.dir
parameter is part of the ndm.path record and identifies the
path to the Connect:Direct process library but it is configurable and can be changed. The following
table describes the process.dir
parameter:
Parameter | Description | Value | Restart Required |
---|---|---|---|
process.dir |
The location of process library used by Integrated File Agent | path specification | No |
