Configuring the OpenVMS Agent

Defining an OVMS Connection

homedir=y 

The 

homedir parameter specifies the agent’s home directory.

A 

y value means that the starting path will be the runtime user’s home directory instead of the agent’s home directory.

Leaving the parameter value blank (the default value) or specifying a 

n value means that the home directory remains the 

directory where the agent is installed.

This parameter will override the working directory setting in the master for all jobs to the user’s home directory.

minmem=x and maxmem=x

The 

minmem and maxmem parameters control how many MB of memory should be allocated to the agent processes. 

These memory parameters can be adjusted as individual needs warrent. Your system may need more or less than the 
default memory allotments.

The 

minmem parameter specifies that at least the amount of RAM specified should be available. The default value is 16 

MB of RAM.

The 

maxmem parameter specifies that no more than the amount of RAM specified should be available for the agent 

processes. The default value is 32 MB of RAM.

Jobstopwait=n seconds

The 

Jobstopwait parameter specifies the time interval between sending a SIGTSTP warning that a job is about to be 

put on hold and actually sending the SIGSTOP signal to pause the job. 

The default value is 1 second before pausing the job but the number of seconds between the warning and the actual 
pausing of the job can be modified from this parameter.

Jobkillwait=n seconds

The 

Jobkillwait parameter specifies the time interval between sending a SIGTERM warning that a job is about to be 

aborted/cancelled and actually sending the SIGKILL signal to abort/cancel the job. 

The default value is 5 seconds before cancelling the job but the number of seconds between the warning and the actual 
cancelling of the job can be modified from this parameter.

Defining an OVMS Connection

You must create a connection to the OVMS machine before CWA can run your OVMS jobs. These connections also must 
be licensed before CWA can use them.

From the 

 pane, select 

 

or click the 

 button on the CWA 

toolbar.
