The installation parameters which are needed when openFT-AC is used are stored in this member.
When the openFT load module is started for the first time after the delivery unit openFT-AC is installed, openFT automatically generates the FTAC file (see section “Internal openFT data sets”) using the characteristics specified for its name and size stored in this member or the default values.
Each line of the FTACPAR member can contain exactly one parameter in the form "keyword=value". No blanks may be inserted between "keyword", "=" and "value". Below is a list of the keywords which may be used.
Keywords:
FILE_2ND_Q=
The second level qualifier for the name of the components of the FTAC file (see section “Internal openFT data sets”).
Up to 17 characters (default: <inst>.SYSFSA, where <inst> is the name of the openFT instance). For the sake of clarity, the name should always start with the instance name followed by a period.
FILE_SIZE_KB=
Initial size of the FTAC file (in KB).
Maximum value: 30736382 (default: 1024).
openFT uses this value as the primary allocation size when creating the VSAM cluster which is part of the FTAC file. The value is halved for the size of the secondary allocation.
The specified maximum value is the program-technical limit. When choosing a value for the initial size of the FTAC file, the actually available storage space needs to be taken into consideration. Note that the FTAC file is created on the same data volume as the request file, the partner list, the operating parameter file and the logging file (see section “Internal openFT data sets”).
