PRM Max chars for APPLICATION records

[NHL]

Hi,

Does anyone know if/what the max nr of characters can be in the path and alternate name for appl records please ?

I've gone thru the docs and can only find max chars for GROUP records.

Many thanks,
Nick .

Hello Nick. The max path length (as set by UNIX) is 1024. For alternate names they can be 512 each. The total line max is 2048. Hope this helps. - Jonathan

Nick,
1024 characters.

Found it at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B8733-90017/aphs02.html

Error 248
"Message Pathname too long.

Cause The pathname entered as an argument to -f exceeds 1024 characters.

Action Verify path is correct.

Thankyou both, however Im not sure were on the same wavelength ;)

The -f option 'prmconfig -f /my/prmconf' is not the issue.

Say I have an application record such as:

/usr/opt/dlc/v91e/jre/bin/../bin/PA_RISC2.0/native_threads/java[1]::::WEB myaltname[2]

I need to know the max nr of characters I can use in the path to the job[1], and the max chars I can have in the alternate name[2].

I dont think the 1024 is what Im after. When I edit prmconf via SMH it only lets me enter 64 chars max for the path to the application..

Thanks again,
Nick .

Nick,
I think I found it!

"WARNINGS The following fields have character limitations as noted:

+ PRM group name can be no longer than 49 characters.

+ Some configured application processes will not be moved to
their assigned groups by prmconfig if their full path is
greater than 63 characters and their filename is greater than
13 characters and/or the alternate name is greater than 63
characters (see prmconfig(1)).

Results are unpredictable if these fields are longer than the limits
specified above.
