TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

Considerations
• After the PATHMON process thaws a server class, the PATHMON process allows Pathsend
requestors access to the thawed server classes. For SCREEN COBOL requestors without an
ON ERROR clause, the TCP resumes the operation by executing the send request. (When
SCREEN COBOL requestors containing an ON ERROR clause encounter a frozen server class,
they perform as directed by the ON ERROR code.)
• For an application running under Pathway/iTS, the TCP performs these after the THAW command
resumes the activity of a terminal that was in TMF transaction mode:
1. Directs the TMF software to restart the transaction at the BEGINTRANSACTION statement
and to assign a new transaction identifier.
2. Increments the special register RESTART-COUNTER by 1.
• Unlike the TCP, the ACS subsystem processes do not call any TMF procedures or increment
any special TMF registers. It is the responsibility of the Pathsend requestors to detect any errors
(by an error code) and proceed as required by the application.
Examples
These commands restart communication with the specified frozen server classes:
THAW SERVER CLASS-1
THAW (CLASS-2, CLASS-3)
This command resumes communication with all frozen server classes in the Pathway environment:
THAW SERVER *
Wild Card support in PATHCOM
The following SERVER commands in PATHCOM allow management and operation of the SERVER
objects configured under a PATHMON, by specifying "*" in the command or in the SERVER object
name:
• FREEZE
• INFO
• START
• STATUS
• STATS
• STOP
• THAW
NOTE:
1. Wild card support using only * in the command is applicable to TS/MP PATHCOM. (Refer
Example 31 (page 210)).
2. Wild card support by specifying "*" in the SERVER object name is applicable to TS/MP 2.5
PATHCOM.
For more information on TS/MP 2.5, see the TS/MP 2.5 Release Supplement.
Example 31 (page 210) shows the usage of wild card using only * in the command.
Example 31 Wild card support using only * in the command
STATUS SERVER *
The above command displays status information for all server classes configured under PATHMON.
Example 32 (page 211) shows the usage of wild card using * in the SERVER object name.
