1.0 Syntax Check

2.0 Host Session related problems

3.0 Server Element Spirit Options

A new feature is available that may reduce server-side memory consumption. This feature is the concept of a "spirit" element. A spirit element is an element which has been deleted from the server cache so that the host no longer keeps track of it, while it remains on the client. The element on the client is marked as "spirited", so that if a command needs to be called on the element, the spirited element is recreated on the server.

TThis is available in SCLMDT over RSE with customizations done in the Rational Developer for System z rsed.envvars configuration file.

Rational Developer for System z must be at the latest service level. Being at the latest service level will also pre-define the parameters needed to (de)activate this feature.

This feature is set with the following parameters in rsed.envvars:

_RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -DDSTORE_SPIRIT_ON=true"
_RSE_JAVAOPTS="$_RSE_JAVAOPTS -DSPIRIT_EXPIRY_TIME=6"

If -DDSTORE_SPIRIT_ON is true, this feature will be used by the resources that support it. If it is false, the feature will not be used and the other option has no effect.

The -DSPIRIT_EXPIRY_TIME parameter is a number that indicates, in seconds, how long the server waits after an element is queued for spiriting before actually doing so.
