Environment Variables for the Server

The environment variables _CEE_RUNOPTS and _BPXK_AUTOCVT must be set as shown in SSHENV and sshsetenv when running SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS programs (see below). The server startup procedures below set these variables.

The SSHENV format is used when the client or server programs are run under MVS, and the sshsetenv format is used when the programs are run from a USS command line.

SSHENV:

_CEE_RUNOPTS=FILETAG(AUTOCVT,NOAUTOTAG), TRAP(ON) _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON

sshsetenv:

_CEE_RUNOPTS="FILETAG(AUTOCVT,NOAUTOTAG),TRAP(ON)" export _CEE_RUNOPTS _BPXK_AUTOCVT=ON export _BPXK_AUTOCVT

The server will on request do codeset conversion when transferring files. The iconv function is used for the conversion. iconv() uses the following environment variables that can be set if is necessary:

• _ICONV_UCS2

  Tells iconv_open(Y, X) which type of a conversion method to set up when there is a choice between "direct" conversion from X to Y and "indirect" X to UCS-2 to Y.

• _ICONV_UCS2_PREFIX

  Tells iconv_open() which z/OS dataset name prefix to use to find UCS-2 tables if they cannot be found in the HFS.
