IASP Support

Overview

Profound.js can be installed onto an Independent Auxiliary Storage Pool (IASP), and it can also work with user data and objects that are stored on an IASP.

Installing onto an IASP

To install the IFS components onto an IASP, create the installation directory inside the IASP directory on the IFS and then run the normal installation from there. For example:

cd /MY_IASP_NAME mkdir profoundjs cd profoundjs npm install profoundjs

The remaining steps are unchanged (see Installation Process). During complete_install.js, the prompt Enter Profound.js Connector library IASP (*SYSBAS)? controls which ASP group the Profound.js Connector library is installed into – specify your IASP name there instead of accepting the *SYSBAS default.

The IASP used by the Connector library can also be set after installation with the connectorIASP configuration option.

Working With Objects on an IASP

To enable working with user data and objects that are stored on an IASP, set the Initial ASP Group (INLASPGRP) setting on the user’s job description to the ASP group that contains the necessary libraries.

For performance reasons, the Initial ASP Group value is read from the user’s job description the first time that user signs on and is then cached in the server’s memory. Changes to the job description are not picked up until the instance is restarted.
