ERROR The XVIEW_CMD field is a global parm that cannot be overridden XCOM Linux

• XCOM Data Transport

Issue/Introduction

We installed XCOM in our rhel8 server and able to perform  transactions to Linux or windows with no issues.

When we try to run this command getting error:

[/apps/CA/XCOM/cmd] $ xcomtcp
ERROR: The XVIEW_CMD field is a global parm that cannot be overridden

But the similar command was working fine in RHEL7 .

 [/apps/CA/XCOM/cmd] $ xcomtcp
 TID=001245 [standard input --> XCOM.TEST at ]
    XCOMU0024I Transfer scheduled for future execution.

Environment

Release : 12.0

XCOM for Linux PC

Cause

This is a valid error. XVIEW_CMD is an old parameter that is no longer valid for transfers.

Resolution

XVIEW_CMD is an old parameter that is no longer valid for transfers. It is removed from the default xcom.cnf in new versions of XCOM. In your case, you might be performing the installation using a customized install which copies customized xcom.cnf, xcom.glb, and configssl.cnf files as a post-installation step. 

To remediate the problem, comment out or remove the line that contains XVIEW_CMD from the $XCOM_HOME/config/xcom.cnf file. To avoid this problem in the future, edit the customized xcom.cnf file used to remove this line.
