NonStop TS/MP Objects and Processes
This subsection contains additional detail on the transaction services objects and processes provided
by the NonStop TS/MP product. Information on defining and managing these items is provided
in this manual. TS/MP 2.5 has updated PATHMON, PATHCOM and PDMCOM processes. For
more information, see the TS/MP 2.5 Release Supplement.
PATHMON Object
The PATHMON object represents the PATHMON process. The PATHMON process and the objects
it controls make up the PATHMON environment. Each PATHMON environment has only one
PATHMON process, the main control process in the environment.
The PATHMON process defines, configures, and manages all the objects under its control. These
objects include server objects and—if your environment includes Pathway/iTS—TCPs, TERM objects,
and PROGRAM objects. The PATHMON process creates and maintains a file in which it stores
the configuration information for each of these objects. When your application is running, the
PATHMON process communicates with all the objects, receiving information about them and
managing their activities.
