DATAMAP_SERVER Statement

DATAMAP_SERVER Statement

The DATAMAP_SERVER statement specifies the node name of the PowerExchange Listener that acts as the server for access requests to the file that stores data maps.
Use this statement to reduce overhead in an environment where multiple PowerExchange Listeners are running and make frequent open and close requests on the data map file.
z/OS
DM_SUBTASK and NODE
No
DATAMAP_SERVER=
node_name
For the
node_name
variable, enter the node name from a NODE statement in the DBMOVER member that points to the PowerExchange Listener that accesses the DATAMAPS data set.
Generally, you designate one PowerExchange Listener as the data map server. To do so, define the DATAMAP_SERVER statement in the DBMOVER members of the PowerExchange Listeners that contact the data map server.
  • If you have two or more PowerExchange Listeners that share the same DATAMAPS data set, you can configure PowerExchange to use the PowerExchange Listener that starts first as the data map server. If you have three or more PowerExchange Listeners that share the same DATAMAPS data set, you must designate one of them as the data map server.
    To use a PowerExchange Listener as the data map server, configure the following statements in the DBMOVER member for each PowerExchange Listener:
    • In the DATAMAP_SERVER statement, specify the node name of the other PowerExchange Listener.
    • Specify Y for the DM_SUBTASK statement.
    The first PowerExchange Listener that starts becomes the data map server and the other PowerExchange Listeners access data maps through it. PowerExchange writes the following messages to the PowerExchange message log file:
    • The PWX-02804 message to the PowerExchange message log file of the PowerExchange Listener that acts as the data map server.
    • The PWX-02800 and PWX-02805 messages to the PowerExchange message log files of the PowerExchange Listeners that do not act as the data map server. The PWX-02805 message indicates node name, IP address, and port number of the PowerExchange Listener that is the data map server.
  • If you also specify DM_SUBTASK=Y and a PowerExchange Listener holds an exclusive lock on the DATAMAPS data set, enter DATAMAP_SERVER=
    node_name
    to enable other tasks, such the IMS synchronous ECCR or a netport job, to access the data set. Otherwise, the tasks fail.
    Alternatively, use data maps caching. Informatica recommends this approach to improve performance and to avoid access problems that can occur if the PowerExchange Listener data maps server stops. To implement data maps caching, specify DM_SUBTASK=R and DMXCACHE_MAX_MEMORY_MB=20. With these settings, the PowerExchange Listener opens the data set in read-only mode and allows other tasks to access the data set.
