Maintaining Resend Buffer Definitions

A resend buffer definition defines a resend buffer that can be used by any subscription to expedite the retransmission of a transaction. No resend buffer definitions are required. Resend buffers are defined using the RESENDBUFFER initialization parameter, but should be maintained using the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem or Event Replicator Administration.

  3. Fill in the values for the fields on this screen as described below:

    Parameter Name Description Default
    Resend Buffer Name (RESENDBUFFERNAME) Specify a unique name for the resend buffer definition. The name must use alphanumeric characters and be between one and 8 characters long.

    There are some constraints on the name. It must:

    • Be comprised of one to eight uppercase, alphanumeric, and national characters (@,$,#). If the name is less than eight characters, it is automatically padded on the right with blanks.

    • Be enclosed in single quotes (') if any national characters are used.

    • Not begin with a numeric character or a blank.

    • Have no embedded blanks.

    • Not begin with the letters "SYS".

    ---
    Resend Buffer Size(RSIZE) Specify the amount of storage allocated to the buffer. The value must be numeric and specified in units of KB. The default is 32 (32K), and the maximum is 2,097,151 (2,097,151K).

    If a resend buffer is defined for a subscription that delivers data to multiple destinations, multiple copies of the sent data may be saved, one copy for each destination. The specification of Resend Buffer Size must be large enough to accommodate these multiple copies of the data.

Modifying Resend Buffer Definitions

Start of instruction setTo use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to modify a resend buffer definition in the Replicator system file:

  1. List the resend buffer definitions in the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem, as described in Listing Resend Buffer Definitions.

    The resend buffer definitions are listed on the List of Resend Buffer Definitions screen.

  2. Locate the definition you want to modify on the screen and enter an M in the Sel column for that definition.

    An appropriate resend buffer definition screen appears for the resend buffer you selected. For information on modifying this screen, read the description of adding resend buffer definitions in Adding Resend Buffer Definitions.

  3. When all modifications have been made, press PF5 to save the changes.

Copying Resend Buffer Definitions

Start of instruction setTo use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to copy a resend buffer definition in the Replicator system file:

  1. List the resend buffer definitions in the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem, as described in Listing Resend Buffer Definitions.

    The resend buffer definitions are listed on the List of Resend Buffer Definitions screen.

  2. Locate the definition you want to copy on the screen and enter a C in the Sel column for that definition.

    A dialog appears requesting a name for the copy of the resend buffer definition.

Deleting Resend Buffer Definitions

Start of instruction setTo use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to delete a resend buffer definition in the Replicator system file:

  1. List the resend buffer definitions in the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem, as described in Listing Resend Buffer Definitions.

    The resend buffer definitions are listed on the List of Resend Buffer Definitions screen.
