■ CRTE V2.8E
■ CRTE V2.9
3.3.2.6 Additional Software Requirements
openUTM V6.0 or higher is required if you want to use Oracle Database in
configurations with the transaction monitor openUTM.
3.3.3 Checking Network Setup
Typically, the computer on which you want to install Oracle Database is connected to
the network as a member of a network domain. Besides the BCAM host name, the host
should have a full qualified name (
hostname.domain
) that can be resolved by a DNS.
This section describes the most important issues on a BS2000/OSD computer.
■ Checking Sockets subsystem
■ Checking BCAM Timer
■ Checking LWRESD
■ Checking Loopback Address
■ Checking the Configuration Files in the POSIX File System
3.3.3.1 Checking Sockets subsystem
On S servers, the sockets subsystem SOC6 must be created and running. On SQ
servers, the sockets subsystem SOC6-X8 must also be created and running. You can
check the sockets subsystems with the following command:
/SHOW-SUBSYSTEM-STATUS SOC6*
3.3.3.2 Checking BCAM Timer
It is recommended to check the BCAM connection and letter timer. Your BS2000
system administrator can display the timer values with the following command:
/SHOW-BCAM-TIMER
The value for the connection timer, also called CONN in the output of the ISO section,
should be set to a minimum of 600 seconds. It is recommended that the letter timer,
also known as LETT in the STD section, should be set to a large value. The value
0
in
the output indicates an infinite letter time.
3.3.3.3 Checking LWRESD
It is recommended to use the Light Weight Resolver (LWRESD) for host name
resolution operations. The tasks for checking and administrating the LWRESD require
the BS2000 system administrator privilege. Ask your BS2000 system administrator to
check if the LWRESD is running by using the following command:
/SHOW-LWRESD-PARAMETERS
For example, the following output shows the parameter file in use:
RESOLV-FILE : :PVS1:$TSOS.SYSDAT.LWRESD.011.RESOLV.CONF
This parameter file must contain valid nameserver IP-addresses and a domain or
search list of domains.
