UTM applications

WebAdmin objects of the type "UTM application" describe the UTM applications that are to be administered with WebAdmin. A WebAdmin object of the type "Host" that describes the computer on which the application is to run must be generated before a UTM application can be generated in the configuration database (see Hosts). If the UTM application is to be administered with WebAdmin, at least one UPIC connection must also be entered for the UTM application so that WebAdmin can access the application via UPIC (see UPIC connections).

The boxes on the property page:

• 'Name' edit box
  You can select any name for the application. However, it has to be unique on the selected host. For the sake of clarity, it is advisable to specify a "genuine" UTM application name here (MAX APPLINAME). The name can be up to 128 characters long.

• 'Host' dropdown box
  Specifies the computer on which the application is to run (application host). All hosts known to WebAdmin are listed in the dropdown box. The host may need to be defined first (see Hosts).

• 'Cluster' text box
  If the UTM application forms part of a UTM cluster and WebAdmin has already detected this, then the name used for this cluster in WebAdmin is specified here.
  This field is not displayed when you generate a new application.

• 'UTM Version' dropdown box
  Specifies the version of the UTM application. The dropdown box contains all versions known to WebAdmin. If necessary, WebAdmin updates the version automatically on first successful contact with the UTM application.

• 'Version Remark' edit box
  A comment relating to the version can be entered here (e.g. the precise version name). Maximum length: 128 characters. The entry is optional.

• 'Standard Port' edit box
  Specifies the port through which the UPIC connection is to be established (the default port number is 102). An entry in this field is optional.
  The value specified here is the standard port for the UPIC connection. If necessary, it can be overwritten when defining a UPIC connection to this application.
  The port specified here (or for the UPIC connection) must match the generation of the UTM application (see Linking to UTM applications).

• 'Standard Selector Format' dropdown box
  Specifies the selector format for the UPIC connection. Possible formats are 'Ascii', 'Ebcdic' and 'Transdata'.
  The value specified here is the standard value for the UTM application. If necessary, it can be overwritten when defining a UPIC connection to this application.
  The selector format specified here (or for the UPIC connection) must match the generation of the UTM application (see Linking to UTM applications).

• 'Keep TA Open' dropdown box
  If "Yes" is selected here, then in the case of read-only calls from the UTM administration interface the transaction is kept open if possible (PEND KP in the administration program unit KDCWADMI of the respective UTM application). This reduces the transaction management overhead in the UTM application.
  With UTM applications with a static XA database connection, it is recommended that this option should not be enabled, because otherwise transactions may be terminated abnormally as a result of timeouts on the database side. If "No" is selected here, the administration program unit KDCWADMI performs a PEND FI rather than a PEND KP.

• 'Remark' edit box
  A comment relating to the UTM application can be entered here. Maximum length: 255 characters. The entry is optional.
