Information on adjusting the interface-specific configuration file

The following must be borne in mind when adjusting the content of an interface-specific configuration file for a ROBAR-SV instance:

• The length of the file name is limited to 15 characters and corresponds to the name of the ROBAR-SV instance, e.g. scsi_instance1.
  Alphanumeric characters and the characters _ (underscore), . (period) and @ (commercial at) may be used in the file name.

• Spaces are permitted in the file, however not as the first character in a line

• Comment lines are permitted; they contain the hash character (#) in the first column.

• The information sections must be specified in a defined order. The following order must be adhered to:
  Internal environment variables, Global definitions, Host definitions, Device definitions, MAREN host definitions, Host VSN definitions

• All operands in the Internal environment variables and Global definitions sections must be in a separate line

• Each of the remaining sections must contain a line for each BS2000 system (host), each device or each server name

• In the Host definitions, Device definitions, MAREN host definitions, Host VSN definitions sections, the first operand must be a BS2000 system (host), a device or a server name. The subsequent operands (except Host VSN definitions) are keyword operands. The keyword operands and the associated value must be separated by an equals sign. Spaces are permitted before and after the equals sign.

• A number of operands in one line (not permitted in the Global definitions section) are separated by one or more spaces

• If an operand occurs more than once in one line (not permitted in the Global definitions section), only the last is evaluated

• Keyword operands can be specified in any order

• The syntax of the type operand in the Devices definitions section is not checked

• Only a syntactic check is performed in the Host definitions section. The accuracy of the TNS names is not checked

• For newly created configuration files, the original_version field must be assigned the current ROBAR version.

• Only the first 10 BS2000 systems are taken into account in the MAREN host definitions section. An appropriate message is output if more than 10 BS2000 systems are specified

• The number of requests to be executed simultaneously by one robot is specified using multi_processing_level. The minimum value that can be defined is one request, the maximum is ten requests.

• Note the information in the section "Working with multiple archives" when working with more than one archive system.
