This document details the reporting options of EntireX Broker. The following topics are covered:
EntireX Broker reads configuration information from an attribute file
during startup. In order to reduce the number of different attribute files, you
may define a global attribute file and specify the individual settings within a
variable definitions file. Thus unique attributes like BROKER-ID
and PORT
are
kept as part of the variable definitions file, while other parameters such as
service definitions can be shared among a group of Broker instances. This
feature is described in detail in Variable Definition File.
In the past there was a one-to-one relationship between Brokers and attribute files. To determine your Broker configuration, you could reference your attribute file. Now that you may create a global attribute file and substitute parameters at startup, it may not be clear what configuration was used to start your Broker. To see the exact configuration used at startup, you can now view the configuration report for each Broker. The configuration report will display exactly which values were used for each attribute at startup.
Here is a sample configuration report:
EntireX 8.0.0.12 Configuration Report 2007-10-02 08:56:23 Page 1 Variable definitions file: 1: BID = ETB191 2: N = 113 3: P = HOT 4: PCA = localhost:3938:SSL 5: PT = ADABAS 6: RM = STANDARD 7: SP = 3939 8: TP = 3930 9: TR = SSL-TCP-NET EntireX 8.0.0.0 Configuration Report 2007-10-02 08:56:23 Page 2 Attribute file: 1: *********************************************************************** 2: * * 3: * EntireX Broker Attribute File * 4: * * 5: *********************************************************************** 6: 7: ******************** Global section *********************************** 8: 9: DEFAULTS = BROKER 10: ABEND-MEMORY-DUMP = NO 11: ACCOUNTING = NO 12: AUTOLOGON = YES 13: BROKER-ID = ${BID} - - - - Substitution: ${BID} = ETB191 14: CLIENT-NONACT = 15M
The contents of the variable definitions file and the contents of the attribute file are copied to this configuration report. In addition, all variables in the attribute file will be appended by another line reporting the effective value for the variable. Thus, it's possible to keep track of the substitution procedure.
On UNIX and Windows, a file called CONFIG.REPORT
is
created in the current working directory of Broker. The environment variable
ETB_CONFIG_REPORT
may contain an alternative
location. However, on z/OS, DDNAME ETBCREP
is
required to assign an output file for this report. Any failure will trigger a
diagnostic message in the Broker log.
The Load Module Report is created during startup of EntireX Broker on
z/OS. All modules in all data sets concatenated to the STEPLIB
chain for Broker
execution are listed.

This report provides STEPLIB level, date, and time stamps if a certain
pattern is used for the module structure. DDNAME
ETBMREP
must be assigned to get this report.
You can create an optional report file that provides details about all activities to allocate or to deallocate memory pools. This section details how to create the report and provides a sample report.
See also Broker-specific attribute
STORAGE-REPORT
.
Use Broker's global attribute
STORAGE-REPORT
with the value
YES
. If attribute value
YES
is supplied, all memory pool operations will
be reported if the output mechanism is available. If the value
NO
is specified, no report will be created.
DDNAME ETBSREP
assigns the report file. Format
RECFM=FB, LRECL=121
is used.
Broker creates a file with the name
STORAGE.REPORT in the current working directory. If the
environment variable ETB_STORAGE_REPORT
is
supplied, the file name specified in the environment variable will be used. If
Broker receives the command-line argument -r
, the token following
argument -r
will be used as the file name.
LINK-NAME ETBSREP
assigns the report file. Format REC-FORM=V,
REC-SIZE=0, FILE-TYPE ISAM
is used by default.
Logical unit SYS015
and logical file name ETBSREP
are used. Format RECORD-FORMAT=FB, RECORD-LENGTH=121
is used.

Header | Description |
---|---|
Identifier | Name of the memory pool. |
Address | Start address of the memory pool. |
Size | Size of the memory pool. |
Total | Total size of all obtained memory pools. |
Date, Time | Date and time of the action. |
Action | The action of Broker. The following actions are currently supported:
Allocated: memory pool is allocated. Deallocated: memory pool is deallocated. |
You can create an optional report file that provides details about all records added to or deleted from the persistent store. This section details how to create the report and provides a sample report.
To create a persistent store report, use Broker's global attribute
PSTORE-REPORT
with the value YES
.
When the attribute value YES
is supplied, all
created or deleted persistent records will be reported if the output mechanism
is available.
If the value NO
is specified, no report will be
created.
The report file is created using the following rules:
LINK-NAME ETBPREP
assigns the report
file. Format REC-FORM=V, REC-SIZE=0, FILE-TYPE
ISAM
is used by default.
Broker creates a file with the name PSTORE.REPORT in
the current working directory. The file name
PSTORE.REPORT.LOAD will be used if Broker is started with
RUN-MODE=PSTORE-LOAD
.
The file name PSTORE.LOAD.UNLOAD will be used if
Broker is started with RUN-MODE
=
PSTORE-UNLOAD
.
If the environment variable
ETB_PSTORE_REPORT
is supplied, the file name
specified in the environment variable will be used.
If Broker receives the command-line argument
-p
, the token following argument
-p
will be used as the file name.
Same as UNIX.
DDNAME ETBPREP
assigns the report file.
Format RECFM=FB, LRECL=121
is used.
Logical unit SYS003
and logical file name
ETBPREP are used. Format
RECORD-FORMAT=FB
,
RECORD-LENGTH=121
is
used.
The following is an excerpt from a sample
PSTORE
report.

The following fields are provided in the report:
Identifier provides the UOWID (record ID).
Elements gives the number of messages per UOW when creating or loading records.
Total Length gives the size of the raw record when creating or loading records.
Record Type describes the type of the data. Following types are currently supported:
Cluster: a special record for synchronization purposes
Conversation: a unit of work as part of a conversation
Master: a special record to manage the persistent store
Date and time of the action
Action describes the action of Broker. The following actions are currently supported:
Accepted: UOW status was changed from POSTPONED
to ACCEPTED
Created: record is created
Deleted: record is deleted
Postponed: UOW status was changed from DELIVERED
to POSTPONED
Loaded: record is loaded (Broker instance with
RUN-MODE
=
PSTORE-LOAD
)
Unloaded: record is unloaded (Broker instance
with RUN-MODE
=
PSTORE-UNLOAD
)
Remaining postpone attempts.
The License Report is created during broker startup on the respective platform. It contains the contents of the license file itself and some machine data.
DDNAME ETBLREP
must be assigned to get this report. See Step 2: Edit the Broker Startup Procedure.
