Introduction

This chapter describes the structure of the configuration files required for OpenFrame operation.

1. Overview

The configuration files for each product are deployed in the following directory. They are stored in a database of each node by using the ofconfig tool and then loaded in Tmax TCache of each node to be used during system operation.

 $OPENFRAME_HOME/config

The configuration file structure is as follows. Each KEY of a SECTION is set to a VALUE.

#
# TYPE
#   1 : Y_N
#   2 : String
#   3 : Number
#
# AVAIL VALUE
#   delimiter : COMMA(',') or DASH('-'; NUMBER(TYPE 3) range)
#
#

The following describes each column in the configuration files.

Column Description

SUBJECT

Classification for configuration items by module.

SECTION

Classification for configuration items by function in each module.

KEY

Configuration item name used to get the setting value.

TYPE

Value type of the configuration item.

  • 1: Y_N (either YES or NO)

  • 2: String (String value)

  • 3: Number (number value)

DEFAULT_VALUE

Default value.

VALUE

Setting value.

AVAIL_VALUE

Available value or range.

DESCRIPTION

Description about the configuration item. This does not affect the system operation.

The configuration files are stored in a database by using the import command of the ofconfig tool. Since they are loaded in Tmax TCache during system operation, cache space must be allocated in advance by using pfmtcacheadmin, a TCache management tool, with the -c option. In order for OpenFrame to access settings for each node, set the OPENFRAME_NODENAME environment variable to a node name of 16 characters or less according to Tmax’s node naming rule. If environment variable values are used to set configuration items, OpenFrame Manager displays the environment variable values as they are, not an actual path to the values.

For more information about managing configuration settings, refer to "ofconfig" in OpenFrame Base Tool Reference Guide.
