Figure 7 System Management Tasks
1. Start the Pathway environment.
This task consists of starting the PATHMON and PATHCOM processes. The PATHCOM process
provides the interactive command interface to the PATHMON process.
2. Configure and start the PATHMON environment.
• Configure the PATHMON process. You can specify a backup processor and request error
dumping.
• Specify global limits and settings with the SET PATHWAY command.
• Start the PATHMON environment by using the START PATHWAY command. Use the
cold start option to start the environment for the first time. Use the cool start
option to start the environment using an existing configuration.
3. Configure the PATHMON-controlled objects: that is, the set of objects controlled by the
PATHMON process. Note that this step is optional if you cool started the PATHMON
environment in Step 2, that is, if you configured these objects on a previous session and do
not need to reconfigure any of them.
• Define configuration parameters for terminal control processes (TCPs) with the SET TCP
command and then add the TCPs to your PATHMON environment with the ADD TCP
command.
• Define configuration parameters for terminals and other input-output devices with the SET
TERM command and then add the devices with the ADD TERM command.
