Base Setup

The Base Setup tab lets the system administrator control the system wide base setup. Values can be entered by clicking the Edit button. The first two should be the same as the values in the Sys.ini file in the AMT-COBOL system Root directory. The System logpath can be any directory with write permission.

Field description:

• Environment: For migrated IBM systems, this name must correspond to the CICS region name. It will be returned by the CICS ASSIGN APPLID command. For systems of other origins, it is a free to choose name for this environment.
• System basepath: The system basepath as set in the Sys.ini file for this Environment.
• System logpath: The path to the system logging directory. Allthough free to choose it is advised to use a folder in the root directory of the Environment.
• Allowed application kinds: This sets the application kinds whichare allowed in this Environment. The displayed options depend on the application kinds in the AmtRuntime license. Enabling all available options is common practice for most environments.
• Azure: This option is only visible when you have an AMT Azure License. Should be set to true when AMT is installed in a Microsoft Azure environment.
• Station resolve:
  • Automatic: station name is automatically chosen depending on the webbrowser used
  • User: the username is used as station name.
  • Predefined: A fixed station name should be set for the user in Security -> User -> Tab Users by selecting a User, click the Edit button and set the predefined station name in the Station field.
  • IP Address the IP address of the station is used as the station name.
• Local server time zone: The time zone of the server the Control Center runs on.
• System Time Zone: A free to choose time zone to use for the AMT-COBOL environment. All the times in the AMT Control Center, which are displayed in the local time of the user, will be converted to/from this time zone and stored as such in the system database.
  
  

  Changing the System Time Zone will not convert the time values of the existing job schedules, queued jobs, job history, etc. These should be updated manually when the System Time Zone is changed. Therefore it is not advised to change the System Time Zone after the AMT environment has been used in production.

  
  
• Max session per station: The maximum number of allowed sessions for each end user station for the webclient, allowed values from 1 to 10.
• Add unknown users automatically: Automatically add new users to the system database when accessing the AMT environment.
• Schedule calculation starttime: The time of the start of the time frame the batch controllers use for job scheduling. Each day at this time a batch controller will look in the job schedules if any job requests should be created within the next hours mentioned in the Timeframe period. Defaults to 18:00 for new environments, preferably this should be set at a time when the system has a low workload.
• Schedule Timeframe period (hours): The period to use for the batchcontrollers schedule in hours. Defaults to 24 for new environments.
• Code page (default=1252): Sets the character encoding. This is used to convert between Unicode and ASCII to display special characters properly. Warning: Changing this setting could cause values of existing data in files to be altered. We therefore strongly advise to not change this setting.
• CWA size: The size of the common work area in bytes.
