TS/MP 2.5 Release Supplement

Considerations

• The ! command executes the command indicated by the number. By default, the last command

is processed.

• You can specify a string after the ! command. If the string matches the starting letters of any

of the previous ten commands, the corresponding command is executed.

• If you use the ! command without a number or text string, PATHCOM executes the last

command you entered.

Example

• If the following commands are entered at the PDMCOM prompt:

\NSSYS.$VOL.SUBVOL 11> PDMCOM

PDMI - T0845H02 - (01MAY2009) - 01 April 2009, 15:34:49

PDMI 1>> [ SERVER SRV1 is configured in $PM1

PDMI 2>> OPEN $PM1

PATHMON : \NSSYS.$PM1

PDMI 3>> ALTER SRV1, NUMSTATIC 1

PATHMON : \NSSYS.$PM1

PDMI 4>> ALTER SRV1, DEBUG ON

• To execute the third command, enter:

PDMI 5>> !3

• The third command is executed as:

PDMI 5>> ALTER SRV1, NUMSTATIC 1

• To execute a command starting with “op”, enter:

PDMI 6>> !op

The following command is executed:

PDMI 6>> OPEN $PM1

SERVER Commands

The execution flow of the following SERVER commands are changed to support online upgrade

feature:

• ALTER SERVER

• FREEZE SERVER

• START SERVER

• STOP SERVER

• THAW SERVER

The following scenarios describe the execution flow of the listed commands:

• After issuing the OPEN command with domain name:

when a SERVER command is issued for a server class, the PDMCOM first communicates with

the ACS subsystem to check if the server class is locked and whether the command can be

executed. It fails with an error when any other SERVER command is in progress for the same

server class.

• After issuing the OPEN command with pathmon name:

when a SERVER command is issued for a server class, the PDMCOM first communicates with

the ACS subsystem to verify if the command can be executed. It fails with an error when any

other SERVER command is in progress for the same server class.
