# Maintaining Destination Definitions

A destination definition defines the destination of the replicated data. Destination definitions can be created for Adabas, webMethods EntireX (or, EntireX Broker), WebSphere MQ, File, and Null destinations. At least one definition is required for every Event Replicator for Adabas destination you intend to use.

Destination Type | Description
--- | ---
Adabas | Data is replicated to one or more Adabas files.
EntireX Broker | Replicated data is written to an output queue via webMethods EntireX Broker.
WebSphere MQ | Replicated data is written to an output queue via IBM WebSphere MQ.
Null | Data replication is tested without actually sending the data to a destination.
File | Replicated data is written to the CLOG, using TLOG URBLTDOD records.

### Step 2. Specify General and TLOG Adabas Destination Parameters

To use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to supply general and TLOG specifications for an Adabas destination definition, complete the following steps:

1. Update the following general fields on the Adabas Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Destination Name | The unique name for the Adabas destination definition. This is the equivalent of specifying the DESTINATION NAME parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The specified name must be alphanumeric and be between one and eight characters long. | ---
   Destination Active | Whether or not this destination definition should be activated for use once it is loaded by the Event Replicator Server. Valid values are "Y" (load and activate the definition) or "N" (load, but do not activate the definition). This is the equivalent of specifying the DACTIVE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | Y
   Allow Logging | Whether or not subscription logging should be activated for this destination definition. Valid values are "Y" (activate subscription logging) or "N" (do not activate subscription logging). This is the equivalent of specifying the DLOG parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | N
   Retry Interval | The default number of seconds between retry attempts to open the destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DRETRYINTERVAL parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are 0, 5 through 2,147,483,647, or the literal "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified for this parameter, the specification for the Retry Interval global variable will be used. A value of zero indicates that no retry attempt to open this destination should occur. Except for a specification of zero, the minimum value that can be specified for this parameter is 5 seconds. | The value of the Retry Interval global variable.
   Retry Count | The number of times that an attempt to open the destination will be retried at the interval specified by the Retry Interval parameter. This is the equivalent of specifying the DRETRYCOUNT parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values range from 0 through 2,147,483,647 or the literal "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified for this parameter, the specification for the Retry Count global variable will be used. Any retry attempts will occur at the interval specified by the Retry Interval parameter. A value of zero indicates that no retry attempt to open this destination should occur. | The value of the Retry Count global variable
   Error Action | The action to be taken when an error occurs during replication to an Adabas destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DAERROR parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are ALTACTION, BACKOUT, or CLOSE. In all cases (ALTACTION, BACKOUT, and CLOSE), if response 148 is returned and the SLOG system file is available, the destination is closed. If an insert, update, or delete operation fails because a replicated record already exists or does not exist, an appropriate message is issued. If the transaction fails because of an error, a message containing the two-character Adabas command, the database ID, the file number, the response code and the subcode is written. If the DATMETHOD parameter is set to ISN, the text "ISN" will be appended to this message as well as the ISN value. If the DATMETHOD parameter is set to "KEY", the record key will be written in both hexadecimal and readable formats in a separate message. Additional actions are taken, based on the value of this parameter. These actions are: ALTACTION: Processing continues with the next update that is part of the same transaction. Some special processing occurs when DAERROR=ALTACTION: If an insert is processed and the record already exists, the record is updated. If an update is processed and the record does not exist, the record is inserted. If a delete is processed and the record does not exist, processing continues with the next record. For other errors, the record is skipped. BACKOUT: A message is issued indicating that the transaction will be backed out and then ignored. The current transaction is backed out and processing continues with the next transaction to be replicated. CLOSE: A message is issued indicating that the transaction will be backed out and the destination will be closed. The current transaction is backed out and transaction logging (to the SLOG file) will begin, if defined for the destination. | ALTACTION
   Open at Startup | Whether or not the destination should be opened at Event Replicator Server startup. Valid values are "Y", "N", or "G", with "G" as the default. When this parameter is set to "Y", the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "N", the destination is not opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "G", the decision to open the destination at Event Replicator Server startup depends on the setting of the Open Destinations at start (GOPEN) global parameter. If GOPEN=YES, the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup; if GOPEN=NO, it is not opened. This is the equivalent of specifying the DOPEN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | G

2. Update the following TLOG fields on the Adabas Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Assign Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction is assigned to a destination for output processing. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLASSIGN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   Completion Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully output to the messaging system. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLCOMP parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Write Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully written to the SLOG file. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGWRITE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Read Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully read from the SLOG and is about to be queued for output to the destination. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGREAD parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   Adabas Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction for an Adabas destination incurred an error. This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLADABAS parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values range from 0 through 3, as described below: 0: No transaction logging should occur. 1: Log event and Adabas error information. 2: Log event, Adabas error information, and file and record data. 3: Log event, Adabas error information, file and record data, and the actual payload. | 0

### Step 3. Specify Input and Target Adabas Destination Databases and Files

To specify the input and target Adabas destination databases and file:

1. Update the following fields on the Adabas Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Input DBID | The database ID associated with an input file (see the Input File field) for this Adabas destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DAIDBID parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The database ID is numeric and can range from one to 65535. The input database ID and file listed in this destination definition must also be included in an SFILE definition in the subscription. Multiple input database IDs can be specified in a single destination definition, as needed. Only unique combinations of Input DBID and Input File parameters can be specified in a single Adabas destination definition. This implies that the input from a database and file combination can only have a single Adabas target within a specific Adabas destination definition. If you want the input from a database and file combination to go to more than one Adabas target, define multiple Adabas destination definitions. | ---
   Input File | The number of the input file for this Adabas destination definition. This is the equivalent of specifying the DAIFILE parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The input database ID and file listed in this destination definition must also be included in an SFILE definition in the subscription. At least one file must be listed for an Adabas destination definition. Multiple input files can be specified in a single destination definition, as needed. Only unique combinations of Input DBID and Input File parameters can be specified in a single Adabas destination definition. This implies that the input from a database and file combination can only have a single Adabas target within a specific Adabas destination definition. If you want the input from a database and file combination to go to more than one Adabas target, define multiple Adabas destination definitions. | ---
   Target DBID | The database ID associated with the target file for the replicated data. This is the equivalent of specifying the DATDBID parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The database ID is numeric and can range from one to 65535. Multiple target database IDs and files can be specified in a single destination definition, as needed. | ---
   Target File | The number of the target (output) file for the replicated data associated with the input file on the same line in this destination definition. There is no default. This is the equivalent of specifying the DATFILE parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Multiple target database IDs and files can be specified in a single destination definition, as needed. | ---

### Step 2. Specify General and TLOG EntireX Broker Destination Parameters

To use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to supply general and TLOG specifications for an EntireX Broker destination definition, complete the following steps:

1. Update the following general fields on the EntireX Broker Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Allow Logging | Whether or not subscription logging should be activated for this destination definition. Valid values are "Y" (activate subscription logging) or "N" (do not activate subscription logging). This is the equivalent of specifying the DLOG parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | N
   Architecture | The data architecture for fields in the URB* control structures sent to the EntireX Broker destination. For complete information on calculating a value for this parameter, read DARC.. | 2
   Broker Service | The EntireX Broker service for which this destination definition applies. The service identification can be up to 32 characters long. This is the equivalent of specifying the DETBSERVICE parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | ---
   Dest Name | The unique name for the EntireX Broker destination definition. This is the equivalent of specifying the DESTINATION NAME parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The specified name must be alphanumeric and be between one and eight characters long. | ---
   Destination Active | Whether or not this destination definition should be activated for use once it is loaded by the Event Replicator Server. Valid values are "Y" (load and activate the definition) or "N" (load, but do not activate the definition). This is the equivalent of specifying the DACTIVE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | Y
   Destination Class | Leave this field blank for now. It is described later in this section. | ---
   Destination Class Parameter Data | Leave this field blank for now. It is described later in this section. | ---
   DSTATLOG | Decides whether or not the associated destination should receive interval statistics published by the Event Replicator Server. This parameter is used with Replication Monitoring. Valid values are Y or N (YES or NO). A value of Y indicates that interval statistics should be published to the destination; a value of N indicates they should not. A destination defined with DSTATLOG=Y cannot be specified in a subscription. | N
   EntireX Broker ID | The EntireX Broker ID for which this destination definition applies. The name can be up to 32 characters long. Broker IDs come in two formats: one for TCP/IP communications and one for Adabas SVC communications. For TCP/IP communications, the format is:
       addr:port-number:TCP
   In this case, the addr setting is either the TCP/IP IP address or the host name. The port-number setting should match the EntireX Broker PORT parameter. For Adabas SVC communications, the format is:
       'broker-id:SVCnnn:NET'
   In this case, the broker-id setting should match the EntireX Broker BROKER-ID parameter in the Broker ETBFILE DD. The nnn setting should match either the EntireX Broker ADASVC or ADA5SVC parameters in the Broker PARMS DD statement. If no name is specified, the default EntireX Broker ID specified by the ETBBROKERID parameter is used. This is the equivalent of specifying the DETBBROKERID in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | ---
   EntireX Token | This is the equivalent of the `DETBTOKEN` subparameter for the DESTINATION parameter, defined in Event Replicator Initialization parameters. It specifies the webMethods EntireX token. This optional parameter can only be specified when `DETBSCONV=YES`. Refer to TOKEN in the EntireX Broker ACI for Assembler section of the webMethods EntireX documentation for more information on usage and syntax. | REPTOR-DEST-destination name
   EntireX Userid | This is the equivalent of the `DETBUSERID` subparameter subparameter for the DESTINATION parameter, defined in Event Replicator Initialization parameters. It specifies the webMethods user ID. This optional parameter can only be specified when `DETBSCONV=YES`. Refer to TOKEN in the EntireX Broker ACI for Assembler section of the webMethods EntireX documentation for more information on usage and syntax. | REPTOR--node-----jobname
   Event Logging | Whether or not events should be logged by the Event Replicator Server and sent to this destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DEVENTLOG parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" or "N". When this optional parameter is set to "Y", Event Replicator Server events are logged to the destination. When this parameter is set to "N" (the default), they are not. Event Replicator Server events are logged in URBS elements. These URBS elements are sent to destinations related to the event itself. The URBS elements are also sent to any other destinations you have defined "Event Logging =Y". If a related destination also is defined with "Event Logging =Y", it will only receive one instance of the URBS element. To access this log of Event Replicator Server events in the destination queue, you must supply your own application that reads the event URBS elements in the destination queue. If such an application does not exist, the logged events simply sit in the queue. | N
   Heartbeat Interval | This is the equivalent of the `DHBINTERVAL` subparameter for the `DESTINATION` parameter, defined in Event Replicator Initialization parameters. It specifies the interval (in seconds) at which the heartbeat should be published to a destination. Valid values are 0 or 60 to 86400 (24 hours). Use this subparameter to set the interval at which heartbeat events are sent to a particular destination. Information for a heartbeat event is collected if at least Heartbeat Interval (DHBINTERVAL) seconds have passed since a heartbeat event was last sent to the destination. This heartbeat information is inserted into the replication data stream at the exit from the Event Replicator Server (destination processing). A value of zero (0) indicates that a heartbeat event should not be published for a particular destination. The Heartbeat Interval (DHBINTERVAL) subparameter is only allowed for destinations defined with DTYPE=ETBROKER, DTYPE=MQSERIES, or DTYPE=NULL. The `DHBINTERVAL` parameter is only allowed for destinations defined with DCLASS=SAGTARG. Note The interval between creating heartbeat events may be slightly longer (e.g. 10 seconds longer) than the interval specified for this parameter. | 0
   Max Output Size | The maximum output size (in bytes) for the destination. This is the equivalent of specify the DMAXOUTPUTSIZE parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are 0 or any integer ranging from 4096 through 2,147,483,647. You can specify the value for this parameter in a purely numeric form or use K at the end of the number to specify kilobytes. For example, DMAXOUTPUTSIZE=4K is the same as DMAXOUTPUTSIZE=4096. The value for this parameter will be used if it is less than or equal to the maximum output size for the Event Replicator Server (specified using the MAXOUTPUTSIZE global parameter) and less than or equal to the maximum output allowed for the messaging system queue being defined. If this value is larger than the MAXOUTPUTSIZE specification or the maximum output size allowed by the messaging system, the smaller value will be used. A value of 0 indicates that no specific limit is set for this destination. Instead, the smaller of the MAXOUTPUTSIZE specification or the maximum output size allowed by the messaging system will be used. | 0
   Open at Startup | Whether or not the destination should be opened at Event Replicator Server startup. Valid values are "Y", "N", or "G", with "G" as the default. When this parameter is set to "Y", the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "N", the destination is not opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "G", the decision to open the destination at Event Replicator Server startup depends on the setting of the Open Destinations at start (GOPEN) global parameter. If GOPEN=YES, the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup; if GOPEN=NO, it is not opened. This is the equivalent of specifying the DOPEN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | G
   Queue Full Delay | The number of seconds between retry attempts when resending output transactions to a specific and previously-full webMethods EntireX destination. Valid values are integers in the range from "5" through "300" or the word "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified, the number seconds between retry attempts is set to the value of the GQFULLDELAY initialization parameter. This is the equivalent of specifying the DQFULLDELAY parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | GLOBAL
   Replicate Util Chgs | Whether Adabas utility change replication should be activated for a destination at Event Replicator Server startup. This is the equivalent of specify the DREPLICATEUTI parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" and "N". If "Y" is specified, utility replication is activated for the destination at Event Replicator Server startup; if "N" is specified, utility replication is not activated for the destination. For more information about replicating utility functions, read Replicating Utility Functions. | N
   Retry Count | The number of times that an attempt to open the destination will be retried at the interval specified by the Retry Interval parameter. This is the equivalent of specifying the DRETRYCOUNT parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values range from 0 through 2,147,483,647 or the literal "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified for this parameter, the specification for the Retry Count global variable will be used. Any retry attempts will occur at the interval specified by the Retry Interval parameter. A value of zero indicates that no retry attempt to open this destination should occur. | The value of the Retry Count global variable
   Retry Interval | The default number of seconds between retry attempts to open the destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DRETRYINTERVAL parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are 0, 5 through 2,147,483,647, or the literal "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified for this parameter, the specification for the Retry Interval global variable will be used. A value of zero indicates that no retry attempt to open this destination should occur. Except for a specification of zero, the minimum value that can be specified for this parameter is 5 seconds. | The value of the Retry Interval global variable.
   Service Class | The EntireX Broker service class name for which this destination definition applies. The name can be up to 32 characters long. This is the equivalent of specifying the DETBSERVICECLASS parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | ---
   Service Name | The EntireX Broker service name for which the EntireX Broker destination definition applies. This is the equivalent of specifying the DETBSERVICENAME parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The name can be up to 32 characters long. | ---
   Single Conversation Mode | This is the equivalent of the `DETBSCONV` subparameter for the DESTINATION parameter, defined in Event Replicator Initialization parameters. It specifies whether or not the destination is to run in single conversation mode for Node to Node support. Valid values are YES or NO. This parameter should be used for high volume destinations. When this optional parameter is set to YES for a destination, all messages are sent using the same EntireX Broker conversation ID. In the event of a failure, or if the destination is closed, the same conversation ID will be used the next time the destination connection to the EntireX Broker is opened. If there is no active conversation, then a new conversation ID will be established. | N
   Threshold | The number of messages that will be sent to the EntireX Broker destination before a commit is performed for those messages. For complete information on specifying a value for this parameter, read DCOMMITTHRESHOLD. | 5

2. Update the following TLOG fields on the EntireX Broker Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Assign Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction is assigned to a destination for output processing. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLASSIGN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   Completion Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully output to the messaging system. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLCOMP parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Write Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully written to the SLOG file. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGWRITE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Read Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully read from the SLOG and is about to be queued for output to the destination. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGREAD parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0

### Step 3. (Optional) Specify Destination Class Information, If Applicable

The Destination Class and Destination Class Parameter Data fields can be used to invoke and pass parameters to the Event Replicator Target Adapter for this destination. The fields are located at the bottom of the EntireX Broker destination screen. Do not use these fields unless you want to invoke and pass parameters to the Event Replicator Target Adapter for the destination or unless otherwise requested by a Software AG support representative.

If applicable, use the Destination Class (DCLASS) field to specify the destination class for this destination definition. Valid values are blank or "SAGTARG" (if Event Replicator Target Adapter processing should be invoked). There is no default.

Note
DCLASS=SAGTARG cannot be specified for destinations with DTYPE=ADABAS or FILE. It is only valid for webMethods EntireX, WebSphere MQ, or NULL destinations. When DCLASS=SAGTARG is specified, the ADARUN RPLPARMS parameter must be set to "FILE" or "BOTH" to provide access to any field table (GFFT) definitions.

If you specify a value for the Destination Class field, you can optionally use the Destination Class Parameter Data (DCLASSPARM) field to specify up to 120 bytes of character data to be passed to the optional destination output user exit.

If either `DCLASS=SAGTARG` or `DCLASS=SAGTRGB` is specified to invoke support for the Event Replicator Target Adapter, you may want to specify one or more of the following keyword parameters:

Note
These parameter keywords must be specified in uppercase.

> ADA

>   The ADA keyword is available for use with the `SAGTARG` DCLASS exit.

>   Specify the ADA keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if the target of the destination requires the Adabas 2-byte short name be included with the schema for all fields.

> NOSPRE

>   The NOSPRE keyword is available for use with both `SAGTARG` and `SAGTRGB` DCLASS exits.

>   Specify the NOSPRE keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if you do not want the subscription name to prefix the names of the tables produced by the Event Replicator Target Adapter. When NOSPRE is specified, the schema file name (Predict view name) alone is used for the table names; when NOSPRE is not specified, the subscription name prefixes the schema file name in the table names.

>   Note
>   Oracle identifiers are limited to 30 characters. If NOSPRE is not specified and an Oracle RDBMS is used by the Event Replicator Target Adapter, the identifier names may exceed 30 characters and errors may occur. We recommend using NOSPRE if an Oracle RDBMS is also used.

> SPRE

>   Specify the SPRE keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if you do want the subscription name to prefix the names of the tables produced by the Event Replicator Target Adapter.

>   The notation is `SPRE=xxxxxxxx`. Where `xxxxxxxx` can be a subscription prefix to be used instead of the subscription name used in the job execution. The prefix can be 1 to 8 characters in size.

>   The SPRE keyword is available for use with both `SAGTARG` and `SAGTRGB` DCLASS exits.

> OPTIONS

>   The OPTIONS keyword parameter can be used to specify options for the destination. Specify the OPTIONS keyword parameter, using the syntax `OPTIONS=nnnn`. Possible values of the OPTIONS (nnnn) are listed in the following table. However, if you want to combine options, add their values together and enter the total value.

>   For example, if you want to combine option 32 (to send the full image on an update) and option 64 (to set the XML transaction committed time value to local time instead of GMT/UTC), specify `OPTIONS=96` (with 96 being the sum of 32 and 64).

>   Option Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Specify `OPTIONS=1` to send the full image on an insert.
>   2 | Specify `OPTIONS=2` to indicate that long names should be used. This option will cause long names to be sent in place of the default short names used for various elements and attributes. Short names are the default and save on the amount of data being transferred. Long names make for better readability. For example, the short name <F> would appear as <Field> using long names.
>   4 | Specify `OPTIONS=4` to ensure that invalid XML characters found in alphanumeric fields are not translated to spaces.
>   8 | Specify `OPTIONS=8` to ensure that trailing blanks in alphanumeric fields are not removed.
>   16 | Specify `OPTIONS=16` to ensure that characters used by XML are not replaced automatically with predefined entity references. For example, if `OPTIONS=16` is set, the ampersand (&) character would not be replaced with the literal "&amp;".
>   32 | Specify `OPTIONS=32` to send the full image on an update. The full before image (if available) and after image of all fields are sent for an update, even if the field values were not changed or are null. Note This option is mutually exclusive with option 128. If both options are specified, then `OPTIONS=32` will be set and `OPTIONS=128` ignored.
>   64 | Specify `OPTIONS=64` to set the XML transaction committed time value to local time instead of GMT/UTC.
>   128 | Specify `OPTIONS=128` if the before image is not to be included when a field is updated/changed if the before image data storage records are included. Primary field before images will still be included because the key is needed to find the record that is to be changed. Note This option is mutually exclusive with option 32. If both options are specified, then `OPTIONS=32` will be set and `OPTIONS=128` ignored.
>   256 | Specify `OPTIONS=256` to suppress ARMXL004I information messages.

> TRACE

>   The TRACE keyword parameter can be used to specify the contents of the trace. Specify the TRACE keyword parameter using the syntax `TRACE=nnnn`. Possible values of the TRACE (nnnn) are listed in the following table. However, if you want to trace multiple control blocks, add their trace values together and enter the total value. For example, to trace the before and after images of the URBD control blocks, you would specify `TRACE=24` because the sum of 8 (URBD control block before image) and 16 (URBD control block after image) is 24.

>   Note
>   If tracing is enabled using this keyword parameter, be sure to include the following JCL statement in the startup JCL of the Event Replicator Server:
>   `//DDTRACE1 DD SYSOUT=X`

>   #### Settings for DCLASS=SAGTARG

>   Trace Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Trace the URBS control block.
>   2 | Trace the URBT control block.
>   4 | Trace the URBR control block.
>   8 | Trace the URBD control block before image.
>   16 | Trace the URBD control block after image.
>   32 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block before image.
>   64 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block after image.
>   128 | Trace the send buffer.
>   256 | Trace the URBY control block.
>   512 | Trace the URBO control block.
>   1024 | Trace the output parameters.
>   2048 | Trace the subscription table.

>   #### Settings for DCLASS=SAGTRGB

>   Trace Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Trace the output buffer.
>   2 | Trace the URBD control block after image.
>   4 | Trace the URBR control block.
>   8 | Trace the URBT control block.
>   16 | Trace the URBH control block.
>   32 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block before image.
>   64 | Trace the URBS control block.
>   128 | Trace the URBY control block.
>   256 | Trace the URBO control block.
>   512 | Trace the URBD AI control blocks
>   1024 | Trace the URBF/G AI control blocks
>   2048 | Trace the subscription table.

### Step 2. Specify General and TLOG WebSphere MQ Destination Parameters

To use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to supply general and TLOG specifications for a WebSphere MQ destination definition, complete the following steps:

1. Update the following general fields on the MQSeries Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Allow Logging | Whether or not subscription logging should be activated for this destination definition. Valid values are "Y" (activate subscription logging) or "N" (do not activate subscription logging). This is the equivalent of specifying the DLOG parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | N
   Architecture | The data architecture for fields in the URB* control structures sent to the WebSphere MQ destination. For complete information on calculating a value for this parameter, read DARC.. | 2
   Destination Active | Whether or not this destination definition should be activated for use once it is loaded by the Event Replicator Server. Valid values are "Y" (load and activate the definition) or "N" (load, but do not activate the definition). This is the equivalent of specifying the DACTIVE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | Y
   Destination Class | Leave this field blank for now. It is described later in this section. | ---
   Destination Class Parameter Data | Leave this field blank for now. It is described later in this section. | ---
   Destination Name | The unique name for the WebSphere MQ destination definition. This is the equivalent of specifying the DESTINATION NAME parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The specified name must be alphanumeric and be between one and eight characters long. | ---
   DSTATLOG | Decides whether or not the associated destination should receive interval statistics published by the Event Replicator Server. This parameter is used with Replication Monitoring. Valid values are Y or N (YES or NO). A value of Y indicates that interval statistics should be published to the destination; a value of N indicates they should not. A destination defined with DSTATLOG=Y cannot be specified in a subscription. | N
   Dynamic Queue Name | The WebSphere MQ dynamic queue name. This is the equivalent of specifying the DMQDYNQNAME parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The name can be up to 48 characters long. | blanks
   Event Logging | Whether or not events should be logged by the Event Replicator Server and sent to this destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DEVENTLOG parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" or "N". When this optional parameter is set to "Y", Event Replicator Server events are logged to the destination. When this parameter is set to " N" (the default), they are not. Event Replicator Server events are logged in URBS elements. These URBS elements wre sent to destinations related to the event itself. The URBS elements are also sent to any other destinations you have defined "Event Logging =Y". If a related destination also is defined with "Event Logging =Y", it will only receive one instance of the URBS element. To access this log of Event Replicator Server events in the destination queue, you must supply your own application that reads the event URBS elements in the destination queue. If such an application does not exist, the logged events simply sit in the queue. | N
   Heartbeat Interval | This is the equivalent of the `DHBINTERVAL` subparameter for the `DESTINATION` parameter, defined in Event Replicator Initialization parameters. It specifies the interval (in seconds) at which the heartbeat should be published to a destination. Valid values are 0 or 60 to 86400 (24 hours). Use this subparameter to set the interval at which heartbeat events are sent to a particular destination. Information for a heartbeat event is collected if at least Heartbeat Interval (DHBINTERVAL) seconds have passed since a heartbeat event was last sent to the destination. This heartbeat information is inserted into the replication data stream at the exit from the Event Replicator Server (destination processing). A value of zero (0) indicates that a heartbeat event should not be published for a particular destination. The Heartbeat Interval (DHBINTERVAL) subparameter is only allowed for destinations defined with DTYPE=ETBROKER, DTYPE=MQSERIES, or DTYPE=NULL. The `DHBINTERVAL` parameter is only allowed for destinations defined with DCLASS=SAGTARG. Note The interval between creating heartbeat events may be slightly longer (e.g. 10 seconds longer) than the interval specified for this parameter. | 0
   Max Output Size | The maximum output size (in bytes) for the destination. This is the equivalent of specify the DMAXOUTPUTSIZE parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are 0 or any integer ranging from 4096 through 2,147,483,647. You can specify the value for this parameter in a purely numeric form or use K at the end of the number to specify kilobytes. For example, DMAXOUTPUTSIZE=4K is the same as DMAXOUTPUTSIZE=4096. The value for this parameter will be used if it is less than or equal to the maximum output size for the Event Replicator Server (specified using the MAXOUTPUTSIZE global parameter) and less than or equal to the maximum output allowed for the messaging system queue being defined. If this value is larger than the MAXOUTPUTSIZE specification or the maximum output size allowed by the messaging system, the smaller value will be used. A value of 0 indicates that no specific limit is set for this destination. Instead, the smaller of the MAXOUTPUTSIZE specification or the maximum output size allowed by the messaging system will be used. | 0
   MQ Format | The optional MQ format name. The format name can be up to eight characters long. This is the equivalent of specifying the DMQFORMAT parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Note You cannot specify a value for this parameter if a value has not also been specified for the Destination Class parameter. | blanks
   MQSeries Coded Character Set ID | The destination-specific coded character set ID (CCSID) for the WebSphere MQ destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DMQCCSID parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values range from 0 through 2,147,483,647. This optional parameter can only be specified when the DCLASS or DEXIT parameters are specified. The Event Replicator Server does not attempt to verify the value of this parameter as the character codes may be changed or added to as time goes on. The value for this parameter is simply passed in the appropriate WebSphere MQ request as the CCSID. | 0
   Open at Startup | Whether or not the destination should be opened at Event Replicator Server startup. Valid values are "Y", "N", or "G", with "G" as the default. When this parameter is set to "Y", the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "N", the destination is not opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "G", the decision to open the destination at Event Replicator Server startup depends on the setting of the Open Destinations at start (GOPEN) global parameter. If GOPEN=YES, the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup; if GOPEN=NO, it is not opened. This is the equivalent of specifying the DOPEN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | G
   Queue Full Delay | The number of seconds between retry attempts when resending output transactions to a specific and previously-full WebSphere MQ destination. Valid values are integers in the range from "5" through "300" or the word "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified, the number seconds between retry attempts is set to the value of the GQFULLDELAY initialization parameter. This is the equivalent of specifying the DQFULLDELAY parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | GLOBAL
   Queue Manager Name | The WebSphere MQ queue manager name. The name can be up to 48 characters long. This is the equivalent of specifying the DMQQMGRNAME parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | ---
   Queue Name | The WebSphere MQ queue name. The name can be up to 48 characters long. There is no default. This is the equivalent of specifying the DMQQNAME parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | ---
   Replicate Util Chgs | Whether Adabas utility change replication should be activated for a destination at Event Replicator Server startup. This is the equivalent of specify the DREPLICATEUTI parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" and "N". If "Y" is specified, utility replication is activated for the destination at Event Replicator Server startup; if "N" is specified, utility replication is not activated for the destination. For more information about replicating utility functions, read Replicating Utility Functions. | N
   Retry Count | The number of times that an attempt to open the destination will be retried at the interval specified by the Retry Interval parameter. This is the equivalent of specifying the DRETRYCOUNT parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values range from 0 through 2,147,483,647 or the literal "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified for this parameter, the specification for the Retry Count global variable will be used. Any retry attempts will occur at the interval specified by the Retry Interval parameter. A value of zero indicates that no retry attempt to open this destination should occur. | The value of the Retry Count global variable
   Retry Interval | The default number of seconds between retry attempts to open the destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DRETRYINTERVAL parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are 0, 5 through 2,147,483,647, or the literal "GLOBAL". If the value "GLOBAL" is specified for this parameter, the specification for the Retry Interval global variable will be used. A value of zero indicates that no retry attempt to open this destination should occur. Except for a specification of zero, the minimum value that can be specified for this parameter is 5 seconds. | The value of the Retry Interval global variable
   Threshold | The number of messages that will be sent to the WebSphere MQ destination before a commit is performed for those messages. This is the equivalent of specifying the DCOMMITTHRESHOLD parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The term "commit" in this context means that the Event Replicator Server informs the messaging system that all messages sent (since the last commit) should be made permanent. In the case of WebSphere MQ, commit means that the Event Replicator Server will issue an MQCMIT call for the queue. | 5

2. Update the following TLOG fields on the MQSeries Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Assign Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction is assigned to a destination for output processing. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLASSIGN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   Completion Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully output to the messaging system. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLCOMP parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Read Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully read from the SLOG and is about to be queued for output to the destination. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGREAD parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Write Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully written to the SLOG file. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGWRITE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0

### Step 3. (Optional) Specify Destination Class Information, If Applicable

The Destination Class and Destination Class Parameter Data fields can be used to invoke and pass parameters to the Event Replicator Target Adapter for this destination. The fields are located at the right of the WebSphere MQ destination screen. Do not use these fields unless you want to invoke and pass parameters to the Event Replicator Target Adapter for the destination or unless otherwise requested by a Software AG support representative.

If applicable, use the Destination Class (DCLASS) field to specify the destination class for this destination definition. Valid values are blank or "SAGTARG" (if Event Replicator Target Adapter processing should be invoked). There is no default.

Note
DCLASS=SAGTARG cannot be specified for destinations with DTYPE=ADABAS or FILE. It is only valid for webMethods EntireX, WebSphere MQ, or NULL destinations. When DCLASS=SAGTARG is specified, the ADARUN RPLPARMS parameter must be set to "FILE" or "BOTH" to provide access to any field table (GFFT) definitions.

If you specify a value for the Destination Class field, you can optionally use the Destination Class Parameter Data (DCLASSPARM) field to specify up to 120 bytes of character data to be passed to the optional destination output user exit.

If either `DCLASS=SAGTARG` or `DCLASS=SAGTRGB` is specified to invoke support for the Event Replicator Target Adapter, you may want to specify one or more of the following keyword parameters:

Note
These parameter keywords must be specified in uppercase.

> ADA

>   The ADA keyword is available for use with the `SAGTARG` DCLASS exit.

>   Specify the ADA keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if the target of the destination requires the Adabas 2-byte short name be included with the schema for all fields.

> NOSPRE

>   The NOSPRE keyword is available for use with both `SAGTARG` and `SAGTRGB` DCLASS exits.

>   Specify the NOSPRE keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if you do not want the subscription name to prefix the names of the tables produced by the Event Replicator Target Adapter. When NOSPRE is specified, the schema file name (Predict view name) alone is used for the table names; when NOSPRE is not specified, the subscription name prefixes the schema file name in the table names.

>   Note
>   Oracle identifiers are limited to 30 characters. If NOSPRE is not specified and an Oracle RDBMS is used by the Event Replicator Target Adapter, the identifier names may exceed 30 characters and errors may occur. We recommend using NOSPRE if an Oracle RDBMS is also used.

> SPRE

>   Specify the SPRE keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if you do want the subscription name to prefix the names of the tables produced by the Event Replicator Target Adapter.

>   The notation is `SPRE=xxxxxxxx`. Where `xxxxxxxx` can be a subscription prefix to be used instead of the subscription name used in the job execution. The prefix can be 1 to 8 characters in size.

>   The SPRE keyword is available for use with both `SAGTARG` and `SAGTRGB` DCLASS exits.

> OPTIONS

>   The OPTIONS keyword parameter can be used to specify options for the destination. Specify the OPTIONS keyword parameter, using the syntax `OPTIONS=nnnn`. Possible values of the OPTIONS (nnnn) are listed in the following table. However, if you want to combine options, add their values together and enter the total value.

>   For example, if you want to combine option 32 (to send the full image on an update) and option 64 (to set the XML transaction committed time value to local time instead of GMT/UTC), specify `OPTIONS=96` (with 96 being the sum of 32 and 64).

>   Option Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Specify `OPTIONS=1` to send the full image on an insert.
>   2 | Specify `OPTIONS=2` to indicate that long names should be used. This option will cause long names to be sent in place of the default short names used for various elements and attributes. Short names are the default and save on the amount of data being transferred. Long names make for better readability. For example, the short name <F> would appear as <Field> using long names.
>   4 | Specify `OPTIONS=4` to ensure that invalid XML characters found in alphanumeric fields are not translated to spaces.
>   8 | Specify `OPTIONS=8` to ensure that trailing blanks in alphanumeric fields are not removed.
>   16 | Specify `OPTIONS=16` to ensure that characters used by XML are not replaced automatically with predefined entity references. For example, if `OPTIONS=16` is set, the ampersand (&) character would not be replaced with the literal "&amp;".
>   32 | Specify `OPTIONS=32` to send the full image on an update. The full before image (if available) and after image of all fields are sent for an update, even if the field values were not changed or are null. Note This option is mutually exclusive with option 128. If both options are specified, then `OPTIONS=32` will be set and `OPTIONS=128` ignored.
>   64 | Specify `OPTIONS=64` to set the XML transaction committed time value to local time instead of GMT/UTC.
>   128 | Specify `OPTIONS=128` if the before image is not to be included when a field is updated/changed if the before image data storage records are included. Primary field before images will still be included because the key is needed to find the record that is to be changed. Note This option is mutually exclusive with option 32. If both options are specified, then `OPTIONS=32` will be set and `OPTIONS=128` ignored.
>   256 | Specify `OPTIONS=256` to suppress ARMXL004I information messages.

> TRACE

>   The TRACE keyword parameter can be used to specify the contents of the trace. Specify the TRACE keyword parameter using the syntax `TRACE=nnnn`. Possible values of the TRACE (nnnn) are listed in the following table. However, if you want to trace multiple control blocks, add their trace values together and enter the total value. For example, to trace the before and after images of the URBD control blocks, you would specify `TRACE=24` because the sum of 8 (URBD control block before image) and 16 (URBD control block after image) is 24.

>   Note
>   If tracing is enabled using this keyword parameter, be sure to include the following JCL statement in the startup JCL of the Event Replicator Server:
>   `//DDTRACE1 DD SYSOUT=X`

>   #### Settings for DCLASS=SAGTARG

>   Trace Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Trace the URBS control block.
>   2 | Trace the URBT control block.
>   4 | Trace the URBR control block.
>   8 | Trace the URBD control block before image.
>   16 | Trace the URBD control block after image.
>   32 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block before image.
>   64 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block after image.
>   128 | Trace the send buffer.
>   256 | Trace the URBY control block.
>   512 | Trace the URBO control block.
>   1024 | Trace the output parameters.
>   2048 | Trace the subscription table.

>   #### Settings for DCLASS=SAGTRGB

>   Trace Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Trace the output buffer.
>   2 | Trace the URBD control block after image.
>   4 | Trace the URBR control block.
>   8 | Trace the URBT control block.
>   16 | Trace the URBH control block.
>   32 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block before image.
>   64 | Trace the URBS control block.
>   128 | Trace the URBY control block.
>   256 | Trace the URBO control block.
>   512 | Trace the URBD AI control blocks
>   1024 | Trace the URBF/G AI control blocks
>   2048 | Trace the subscription table.

### Step 4. Save the WebSphere MQ Destination Definition

To save the WebSphere MQ destination definition in the Replicator system file:

- Press PF5 on the MQSeries Destination Definition screen.

  The WebSphere MQ destination definition is saved in the Replicator system file.

## Creating a File Destination Definition

Using a File destination definition, replicated data is written to the CLOG, using TLOG URBLTDOD records. You can use these records in the CLOG file to create a sequential output file of the replicated data. For more information, read Creating a Sequential Output File.

Caution
Be sure that the CLOG is defined in the Event Replicator Server startup JCL (via one or more DDCLOGRn DD statements) if you will be using a File destination definition during Event Replicator for Adabas processing. If you do not, a warning message will be issued and the File destination will be set to "Unavailable". For more information about the CLOG, read your Adabas documentation.

To create a File destination definition in the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem, complete the following steps:

- Step 1. Access the File Destination Definition Creation Area

- Step 2. Specify General and TLOG File Destination Parameters

- Step 3. Save the File Destination Definition

### Step 1. Access the File Destination Definition Creation Area

To access the File destination definition creation area of the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem:

1. Select option D from the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem Main Menu.

   The List of Destinations screen appears.

2. Press PF4 on the List of Destinations screen.

### Step 2. Specify General and TLOG File Destination Parameters

To use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to supply general and TLOG specifications for a File destination definition, complete the following steps:

1. Update the following general fields on the File Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Destination Name | The unique name for the File destination definition. This is the equivalent of specifying the DESTINATION NAME parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The specified name must be alphanumeric and be between one and eight characters long. | ---
   Commit Threshold | The number of URBLTDOD TLOG record bytes that will be written to the CLOG sequential file before the buffers are flushed. For complete information on specifying a value for this parameter, read DCOMMITTHRESHOLD. | 0
   Destination Active | Whether or not this destination definition should be activated for use once it is loaded by the Event Replicator Server. Valid values are "Y" (load and activate the definition) or "N" (load, but do not activate the definition). This is the equivalent of specifying the DACTIVE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | Y
   Allow Logging | Whether or not subscription logging should be activated for this destination definition. Valid values are "Y" (activate subscription logging) or "N" (do not activate subscription logging). This is the equivalent of specifying the DLOG parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | N
   Event Logging | Whether or not events should be logged by the Event Replicator Server and sent to this destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DEVENTLOG parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" or "N". When this optional parameter is set to "Y", Event Replicator Server events are logged to the destination. When this parameter is set to "N" (the default), they are not. Event Replicator Server events are logged in URBS elements. These URBS elements are sent to destinations related to the event itself. The URBS elements are also sent to any other destinations you have defined "Event Logging =Y". If a related destination also is defined with "Event Logging =Y", it will only receive one instance of the URBS element. To access this log of Event Replicator Server events in the destination queue, you must supply your own application that reads the event URBS elements in the destination queue. If such an application does not exist, the logged events simply sit in the queue. | N
   Replicate Utility Changes | Whether Adabas utility change replication should be activated for a destination at Event Replicator Server startup. This is the equivalent of specify the DREPLICATEUTI parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" and "N". If "Y" is specified, utility replication is activated for the destination at Event Replicator Server startup; if "N" is specified, utility replication is not activated for the destination. For more information about replicating utility functions, read Replicating Utility Functions. | N
   Open at Startup | Whether or not the destination should be opened at Event Replicator Server startup. Valid values are "Y", "N", or "G", with "G" as the default. When this parameter is set to "Y", the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "N", the destination is not opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "G", the decision to open the destination at Event Replicator Server startup depends on the setting of the Open Destinations at start (GOPEN) global parameter. If GOPEN=YES, the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup; if GOPEN=NO, it is not opened. This is the equivalent of specifying the DOPEN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | G

2. Update the following TLOG fields on the File Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Assign Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction is assigned to a destination for output processing. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLASSIGN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   Completion Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully output to the messaging system. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLCOMP parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Write Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully written to the SLOG file. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGWRITE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Read Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully read from the SLOG and is about to be queued for output to the destination. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGREAD parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0

### Step 2. Specify General and TLOG Null Destination Parameters

To use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to supply general and TLOG specifications for a null destination definition, complete the following steps:

1. Update the following general fields on the Null Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Destination Name | The unique name for the null destination definition. This is the equivalent of specifying the DESTINATION NAME parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. The specified name must be alphanumeric and be between one and eight characters long. | ---
   Destination Class | Leave this field blank for now. It is described later in this section. | ---
   Architecture | The data architecture for fields in the URB* control structures sent to the destination. For complete information on calculating a value for this parameter, read DARC.. | 2
   Destination Class Parameter Data | Leave this field blank for now. It is described later in this section. | ---
   Commit Threshold | The number of messages that will be sent to the null destination before a commit is performed for those messages. For complete information on specifying a value for this parameter, read DCOMMITTHRESHOLD. | 5
   Destination Active | Whether or not this destination definition should be activated for use once it is loaded by the Event Replicator Server. Valid values are "Y" (load and activate the definition) or "N" (load, but do not activate the definition). This is the equivalent of specifying the DACTIVE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | Y
   Allow Logging | Whether or not subscription logging should be activated for this destination definition. Valid values are "Y" (activate subscription logging) or "N" (do not activate subscription logging). This is the equivalent of specifying the DLOG parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | N
   Replicate Util Chgs | Whether Adabas utility change replication should be activated for a destination at Event Replicator Server startup. This is the equivalent of specify the DREPLICATEUTI parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" and "N". If "Y" is specified, utility replication is activated for the destination at Event Replicator Server startup; if "N" is specified, utility replication is not activated for the destination. For more information about replicating utility functions, read Replicating Utility Functions. | N
   Heartbeat Interval | This is the equivalent of the `DHBINTERVAL` subparameter for the `DESTINATION` parameter, defined in Event Replicator Initialization parameters. It specifies the interval (in seconds) at which the heartbeat should be published to a destination. Valid values are 0 or 60 to 86400 (24 hours). Use this subparameter to set the interval at which heartbeat events are sent to a particular destination. Information for a heartbeat event is collected if at least Heartbeat Interval (DHBINTERVAL) seconds have passed since a heartbeat event was last sent to the destination. This heartbeat information is inserted into the replication data stream at the exit from the Event Replicator Server (destination processing). A value of zero (0) indicates that a heartbeat event should not be published for a particular destination. The Heartbeat Interval (DHBINTERVAL) subparameter is only allowed for destinations defined with DTYPE=ETBROKER, DTYPE=MQSERIES, or DTYPE=NULL. The `DHBINTERVAL` parameter is only allowed for destinations defined with DCLASS=SAGTARG. Note The interval between creating heartbeat events may be slightly longer (e.g. 10 seconds longer) than the interval specified for this parameter. | 0
   Max Output Size | The maximum output size (in bytes) for the destination. This is the equivalent of specify the DMAXOUTPUTSIZE parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are 0 or any integer ranging from 4096 through 2,147,483,647. You can specify the value for this parameter in a purely numeric form or use K at the end of the number to specify kilobytes. For example, DMAXOUTPUTSIZE=4K is the same as DMAXOUTPUTSIZE=4096. The value for this parameter will be used if it is less than or equal to the maximum output size for the Event Replicator Server (specified using the MAXOUTPUTSIZE global parameter) and less than or equal to the maximum output allowed for the messaging system queue being defined. If this value is larger than the MAXOUTPUTSIZE specification or the maximum output size allowed by the messaging system, the smaller value will be used. A value of 0 indicates that no specific limit is set for this destination. Instead, the smaller of the MAXOUTPUTSIZE specification or the maximum output size allowed by the messaging system will be used. | 0
   Event Logging | Whether or not events should be logged by the Event Replicator Server and sent to this destination. This is the equivalent of specifying the DEVENTLOG parameter directly in the Event Replicator Server startup job. Valid values are "Y" or "N". When this optional parameter is set to "Y", Event Replicator Server events are logged to the destination. When this parameter is set to "N" (the default), they are not. Event Replicator Server events are logged in URBS elements. These URBS elements are sent to destinations related to the event itself. The URBS elements are also sent to any other destinations you have defined "Event Logging =Y". If a related destination also is defined with "Event Logging =Y", it will only receive one instance of the URBS element. To access this log of Event Replicator Server events in the destination queue, you must supply your own application that reads the event URBS elements in the destination queue. If such an application does not exist, the logged events simply sit in the queue. | N
   Open at Startup | Whether or not the destination should be opened at Event Replicator Server startup. Valid values are "Y", "N", or "G", with "G" as the default. When this parameter is set to "Y", the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "N", the destination is not opened at Event Replicator Server startup. When this parameter is set to "G", the decision to open the destination at Event Replicator Server startup depends on the setting of the Open Destinations at start (GOPEN) global parameter. If GOPEN=YES, the destination is opened at Event Replicator Server startup; if GOPEN=NO, it is not opened. This is the equivalent of specifying the DOPEN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | G
   DSTATLOG | Decides whether or not the associated destination should receive interval statistics published by the Event Replicator Server. This parameter is used with Replication Monitoring. Valid values are Y or N (YES or NO). A value of Y indicates that interval statistics should be published to the destination; a value of N indicates they should not. A destination defined with DSTATLOG=Y cannot be specified in a subscription. | N

2. Update the following TLOG fields on the Null Destination Definition screen as described in the following table.

   Parameter Name | Specify | Default
   --- | --- | ---
   Assign Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction is assigned to a destination for output processing. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLASSIGN parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   Completion Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully output to the messaging system. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLCOMP parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Write Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully written to the SLOG file. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGWRITE parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0
   SLOG Read Level | The level of transaction logging that should occur when a transaction has been successfully read from the SLOG and is about to be queued for output to the destination. Valid values are "0" (no logging), "1" (log event and output transaction data), "2" (log event, output transaction, and file/record data), or "3" (log event and all available output information for the event). This is the equivalent of specifying the DTLSLOGREAD parameter in the Event Replicator Server startup job. | 0

### Step 3. (Optional) Specify Destination Class Information, If Applicable

The Destination Class and Destination Class Parameter Data fields can be used to invoke and pass parameters to the Event Replicator Target Adapter for this destination. The fields are located at the right of the null destination screen. Do not use these fields unless you want to invoke and pass parameters to the Event Replicator Target Adapter for the destination or unless otherwise requested by a Software AG support representative.

If applicable, use the Destination Class (DCLASS) field to specify the destination class for this destination definition. Valid values are blank or "SAGTARG" (if Event Replicator Target Adapter processing should be invoked). There is no default.

Note
DCLASS=SAGTARG cannot be specified for destinations with DTYPE=ADABAS or FILE. It is only valid for webMethods EntireX, WebSphere MQ, or NULL destinations. When DCLASS=SAGTARG is specified, the ADARUN RPLPARMS parameter must be set to "FILE" or "BOTH" to provide access to any field table (GFFT) definitions.

If you specify a value for the Destination Class field, you can optionally use the Destination Class Parameter Data (DCLASSPARM) field to specify up to 120 bytes of character data to be passed to the optional destination output user exit.

If either `DCLASS=SAGTARG` or `DCLASS=SAGTRGB` is specified to invoke support for the Event Replicator Target Adapter, you may want to specify one or more of the following keyword parameters:

Note
These parameter keywords must be specified in uppercase.

> ADA

>   The ADA keyword is available for use with the `SAGTARG` DCLASS exit.

>   Specify the ADA keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if the target of the destination requires the Adabas 2-byte short name be included with the schema for all fields.

> NOSPRE

>   The NOSPRE keyword is available for use with both `SAGTARG` and `SAGTRGB` DCLASS exits.

>   Specify the NOSPRE keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if you do not want the subscription name to prefix the names of the tables produced by the Event Replicator Target Adapter. When NOSPRE is specified, the schema file name (Predict view name) alone is used for the table names; when NOSPRE is not specified, the subscription name prefixes the schema file name in the table names.

>   Note
>   Oracle identifiers are limited to 30 characters. If NOSPRE is not specified and an Oracle RDBMS is used by the Event Replicator Target Adapter, the identifier names may exceed 30 characters and errors may occur. We recommend using NOSPRE if an Oracle RDBMS is also used.

> SPRE

>   Specify the SPRE keyword in the DCLASSPARM parameter if you do want the subscription name to prefix the names of the tables produced by the Event Replicator Target Adapter.

>   The notation is `SPRE=xxxxxxxx`. Where `xxxxxxxx` can be a subscription prefix to be used instead of the subscription name used in the job execution. The prefix can be 1 to 8 characters in size.

>   The SPRE keyword is available for use with both `SAGTARG` and `SAGTRGB` DCLASS exits.

> OPTIONS

>   The OPTIONS keyword parameter can be used to specify options for the destination. Specify the OPTIONS keyword parameter, using the syntax `OPTIONS=nnnn`. Possible values of the OPTIONS (nnnn) are listed in the following table. However, if you want to combine options, add their values together and enter the total value.

>   For example, if you want to combine option 32 (to send the full image on an update) and option 64 (to set the XML transaction committed time value to local time instead of GMT/UTC), specify `OPTIONS=96` (with 96 being the sum of 32 and 64).

>   Option Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Specify `OPTIONS=1` to send the full image on an insert.
>   2 | Specify `OPTIONS=2` to indicate that long names should be used. This option will cause long names to be sent in place of the default short names used for various elements and attributes. Short names are the default and save on the amount of data being transferred. Long names make for better readability. For example, the short name <F> would appear as <Field> using long names.
>   4 | Specify `OPTIONS=4` to ensure that invalid XML characters found in alphanumeric fields are not translated to spaces.
>   8 | Specify `OPTIONS=8` to ensure that trailing blanks in alphanumeric fields are not removed.
>   16 | Specify `OPTIONS=16` to ensure that characters used by XML are not replaced automatically with predefined entity references. For example, if `OPTIONS=16` is set, the ampersand (&) character would not be replaced with the literal "&amp;".
>   32 | Specify `OPTIONS=32` to send the full image on an update. The full before image (if available) and after image of all fields are sent for an update, even if the field values were not changed or are null. Note This option is mutually exclusive with option 128. If both options are specified, then `OPTIONS=32` will be set and `OPTIONS=128` ignored.
>   64 | Specify `OPTIONS=64` to set the XML transaction committed time value to local time instead of GMT/UTC.
>   128 | Specify `OPTIONS=128` if the before image is not to be included when a field is updated/changed if the before image data storage records are included. Primary field before images will still be included because the key is needed to find the record that is to be changed. Note This option is mutually exclusive with option 32. If both options are specified, then `OPTIONS=32` will be set and `OPTIONS=128` ignored.
>   256 | Specify `OPTIONS=256` to suppress ARMXL004I information messages.

> TRACE

>   The TRACE keyword parameter can be used to specify the contents of the trace. Specify the TRACE keyword parameter using the syntax `TRACE=nnnn`. Possible values of the TRACE (nnnn) are listed in the following table. However, if you want to trace multiple control blocks, add their trace values together and enter the total value. For example, to trace the before and after images of the URBD control blocks, you would specify `TRACE=24` because the sum of 8 (URBD control block before image) and 16 (URBD control block after image) is 24.

>   Note
>   If tracing is enabled using this keyword parameter, be sure to include the following JCL statement in the startup JCL of the Event Replicator Server:
>   `//DDTRACE1 DD SYSOUT=X`

>   #### Settings for DCLASS=SAGTARG

>   Trace Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Trace the URBS control block.
>   2 | Trace the URBT control block.
>   4 | Trace the URBR control block.
>   8 | Trace the URBD control block before image.
>   16 | Trace the URBD control block after image.
>   32 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block before image.
>   64 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block after image.
>   128 | Trace the send buffer.
>   256 | Trace the URBY control block.
>   512 | Trace the URBO control block.
>   1024 | Trace the output parameters.
>   2048 | Trace the subscription table.

>   #### Settings for DCLASS=SAGTRGB

>   Trace Value | Description
>   --- | ---
>   1 | Trace the output buffer.
>   2 | Trace the URBD control block after image.
>   4 | Trace the URBR control block.
>   8 | Trace the URBT control block.
>   16 | Trace the URBH control block.
>   32 | Trace the URBF/URBG control block before image.
>   64 | Trace the URBS control block.
>   128 | Trace the URBY control block.
>   256 | Trace the URBO control block.
>   512 | Trace the URBD AI control blocks
>   1024 | Trace the URBF/G AI control blocks
>   2048 | Trace the subscription table.

### Step 4. Save the Null Destination Definition

To save the null destination definition in the Replicator system file:

- Press PF5 on the Null Destination Definition screen.

  The null destination definition is saved in the Replicator system file.

## Modifying Destination Definitions

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

   You can locate the definition you want in the list by pressing the PF7 (F7) or PF8 (F8) keys to scroll through the list. You can also press PF2 (F2) to specify the name of the definition to which the list should be repositioned.

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

        Enter new name: ________
        or press PF3 to cancel

3. Specify a new, unique name for the copy of the destination definition and press Enter.

   The destination definition is copied and the copy appears on the List of Destinations screen.

## Activating and Deactivating Destination Definitions

You can use Adabas Online System (AOS) to activate and deactivate destination definitions. For more information, read Activating and Deactivating Replication Definitions and Databases

| Warning: Be careful when you activate and deactivate replication definitions and databases, especially if replication is ongoing at the time. Whenever you activate or deactivate definitions or databases, you run the risk of altering what data is replicated and how that replication occurs. If the Event Replicator Server receives data from an Adabas database for which it has no active definitions, replication simply does not occur.

## Deleting Destination Definitions

To use the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem to delete a destination definition in the Replicator system file:

1. List the destination definition in the Adabas Event Replicator Subsystem, as described in Listing Destination Definitions.

   The destinations are listed on the List of Destinations screen.

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

   You can locate the definition you want in the list by pressing the PF7 (F7) or PF8 (F8) keys to scroll through the list. You can also press PF2 (F2) to specify the name of the definition to which the list should be repositioned.
