TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

3 Configuring Objects in a PATHMON Environment
Configuration Overview
To configure a PATHMON environment, you specify global limits that define the number of objects
in the environment, and you configure the objects that run under the PATHMON process to support
your application. (A PATHMON environment consists of objects and processes controlled by the
PATHMON process.)
NOTE: This overview provides a look at how objects and processes defined under the NonStop
TS/MP product−the PATHMON process and server processes, for example−are configured in
relation to other objects and processes in a PATHMON environment. The same commands are
used to configure and manage objects provided by the Pathway/iTS product−TCPs, TERM objects,
and PROGRAM objects. See the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual.
A PATHMON environment can include one application or multiple applications. For example, a
PATHMON environment might consist of only one application, devoted to inventory control, as
shown in Figure 16 (page 51).
Figure 16 PATHMON Environment With a Single Application
In Figure 16 (page 51), a PC-based inventory application sends Pathsend requests through the
Remote Server Call product (RSC) and Transaction Delivery Process (TDP) to the link manager ACS
subsystem processes, which forwards the request to the appropriate server process. The dashed
lines indicate control links, while solid lines indicate data links.
A PATHMON environment might also consist of multiple applications such as order processing,
accounts payable, accounts receivable, as well as inventory control, as shown in Figure 17
(page 52). In Figure 17 (page 52), each RSC application is configured under its own TDP and all
access the same database. Alternatively, each application might have its own database. The
dashed line in the figure indicates a control link, while solid lines indicate data links.
