NMICOMMSTRING

The NMICOMMSTRING parameter specifies the communication path for the Network Management Interface (NMI) AF_UNIX domain socket.

Description

The value of the NMICOMMSTRING configuration parameter defines the fully qualified path and file name of the AF_UNIX domain socket that is used for NMI client connections to the NMI. You specify this value in the following format:

NMICOMMSTRING='/var/sock/uniqueName'

where '/var/sock/uniqueName' is the path and unique name of the file. The maximum length that you can specify is 60 characters.

Recommendation: Use single quotes to preserve the case (uppercase or lowercase) of the characters in the AF_UNIX domain socket path. The case of the characters specified for this value must match the case of the Unix System Services file system path.

You can dynamically set or change the value of the NMICOMMSTRING configuration parameter by using the Classic Data Architect or the MTO SET,CONFIG,SERVICE command. The change takes affect when you stop and restart the monitoring service or the Classic data server.

Ensure that the user ID that starts the server has read, write, and execute permissions for all directories on the Network Management Interface (NMI) AF_UNIX domain socket path.
