TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

10 PATHCOM Operation Commands
The commands for controlling and operating PATHCOM are:
CMDCWD
CMDVOL
ERRORS
EXIT
FC
HELP
HISTORY
OBEY
OBEYVOL
OPEN
RESET
SHOW
!
NOTE: When using TS/MP 2.5, HP recommends that you use PDMCOM instead of PATHCOM,
because it can communicate with multiple PATHMONs simultaneously. For more information on
PDMCOM, see the TS/MP 2.5 Release Supplement.
CMDCWD Command
Use the CMDCWD command to set a default OSS directory. When processing ADD or ALTER
commands, the PATHMON process uses this default directory to resolve OSS relative file names
only if no value is defined for the CWD attribute.
CMDCWD oss-pathname
oss-pathname
specifies an absolute OSS directory name. For more information on OSS pathnames,
see the subsection “OSS Pathnames” (page 131).
Considerations
• When resolving relative pathnames, the PATHMON process first looks for the OSS directory
defined for the CWD attribute. If no value is defined, the OSS directory defined by the CMDCWD
command is used.
• The CMDCWD and the SET SERVER CWD commands both define a value for the CWD attribute.
They do not function the same way, however.
When resolving relative OSS pathnames, the value defined by the SET SERVER CWD
command takes precedence. The RESET SERVER command resets this value to null.
The value defined by the CMDCWD command is used to resolve relative OSS pathnames only
if no value is set using the SET SERVER CWD command. It is a default absolute pathname
that you can define for a server class. The RESET SERVER command has no effect on this
value. To reset this value to null, use the RESET CMDCWD command.
• The CMDCWD command operates differently from the CMDVOL command. PATHCOM uses
values defined with the CMDVOL command to resolve file names when it processes the SET
CMDCWD Command 137
