271.0. "General questions for a beginner" by CARDHU::BOURAKOFF (MCS/STN-IM Switzerland 761-4820) Wed Apr 02 1997 12:42

    Hi,
    
    I am NOT an ACMSXP expert, can somebody help me please ?

This concerns some questions about ACMSXP running on Digital UNIX.
    
1. What is the maximum number of "taskgroups" that one single TP system
supports ? At the moment we are thinking about creating an application 
with maximal 50 different "taskgroups". Do you expect any problems with 
this ?

2. What is the maximum length of a "taskgroup" name ? As far as I can 
remember, ENCINA had problems with long names. Does a long "taskgroup" 
name has infuence on the performance ?

3. What is the use of the attribute "Local AP-Title". Can we give this 
attribute a certain value and what is the maximum length of this 
attribute ?

50 different task groups implies 50 different task servers which should
work.  I'll check and see if limit exists on the number of task servers
per tpsystem I'm not aware of one.   I do have a few questions for you.
How many tasks per task group?  Do you intend to have task call task
within different task groups?  Will all of task servers be part of the 
same tpsystem or multiple tpsystems?  What is the criteria you are using
to break the tasks up into different task groups?


2. What is the maximum length of a "taskgroup" name ? As far as I can 
remember, ENCINA had problems with long names. Does a long "taskgroup" 
name has infuence on the performance ?

The maximum length is 32 characters.  The length of the name will not
affect performance.  

3. What is the use of the attribute "Local AP-Title". Can we give this 
attribute a certain value and what is the maximum length of this 
attribute ?

This attribute was used by a transport that is no longer supported. 
You should not set the local ap-title.

    I noticed you asked about training in note 242, have you gone to any
    training?
