.Hi List,
I have a question about OCMs in the Server Map.
The J* and W* environments usually have default mappings for UBEs and BSFNs,
pointing to an application server, so all UBEs and BSFNs (except for a few)
are executed on the server. These mappings are kept in the OCM table in the
system datasource, used by clients, as well as WTS and JAS, which
essentially are OW-clients as well.
The app-server has it's own set of OCMs, stored in the Server Map. My
question is: do I need OCMappings in the server-map for UBEs and BSFNs,
pointing to the app-server itself?
We had a specialist here from GATS (JDE Global Advanced Tecnology Services)
who recomended these mappings. On our question he said: I am not sure
either, but we have it this way in Denver and we recommend them! (Not a very
satisfying answer!). Some BSFN mappings were set to LOCAL in the server-map.
What is LOCAL for a Unix app-server?
So, listers, please help me! What sence does it make for a server to tell it
to call all BSFNs within itself? After all, if there is no mapping at all
(not even a default mapping) for a BSFN or a UBE, it gets executed right
there from where it is being called. Does a server have a mechanism, like a
OW-client, to send out a BSFN to be executed on another server?
If I am not mistaken, there are no such mappings in original installs. In
our case, they do not seem to hurt, either.
Thanks for any input,
Gerd
