TS/MP 2.5 Release Supplement

<pdname> = {Pathway domain name}

<pathmon> = {<pname>[:<weight>]<sp>{[,<sp><pname>]&}}

<owner> = {NonStop user name }

<weight> = {percent of link requests to be provided by PATHMON based on the

processing capacity of a system available to the PATHWAY application}

<pname> = {NonStop system qualified PATHMON process name}

The following context checks are made in the syntax:

• The number of PATHMON processes used to define the Pathway domain is limited to four.

However, there is no limit on the number of Pathway domains defined.

• The PATHMON weight values associated with a Pathway domain must add up to 100.

• The node name must not be more than eight characters.

• The first character must be “\”.

• The node name must be alphanumeric (except “\”).

• The second character must be an alphabet.

NOTE: The operational validity of the definitions in the ACSCTL file is verified at run time. The

syntactical definitions in the ACSCTL file are verified at the time of configuration and all errors

encountered are reported through the SCF interface.

The following is an example of an ACSCTL file that defines two Pathway domains %PMX and %PMY.

The %PMX Pathway domain comprises three different PATHMON processes ($PM1, $PM2, and

$PM3), while a %PMY Pathway domain comprises two different PATHMON processes ($PM4 and

$PM5). However, all PATHMON processes run on only one NonStop system \A. The owners of

the environments are defined in the owner membership section. Any user ID under the user name

ACS. * is defined to be the owner of the Pathway domain %PMX, while ACS.SMITH is the only

owner of %PMY.

[ACS Domain]

# Name must match the name given in ADD ACS command

# And the system name must match to the current system.

A = \A

[Pathway Domain]

# Multiple PATHMONs on the same system

%PMX = \A.$PM1:40, \A.$PM2:40, \A.$PM3:20

%PMY = \A.$PM4, \A.$PM5

[Owner Membership]

ACS.* = %PMX

ACS.SMITH = %PMY

The following example shows how to specify remote PATHMON processes in a Pathway domain:

[PATHWAY DOMAIN]

%DOM1 = $PM1, $PM2

%DOM2 = $PM3, \REMOTE.$PM4

%DOM3 = $PMON1:10; $PMON2:30; $PMON3:40; $PMON4:20

The following table describes the appropriate error message for each validation:
