TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

The working set of attribute values is initialized when you start PATHCOM. In this initial stage,
each attribute entry in the working set specifies either of these:
• The attribute and the default value, assigned by PATHCOM. If you do not specify another
value for this attribute with the SET or ADD command, this default value is assigned when you
add any object of this type.
• The attribute alone, with no value specified. You must assign a value for this attribute with the
SET or ADD command.
By using values from the PATHCOM working set whenever possible, you can greatly simplify object
definition and creation. For example, this command creates a SERVER named FRED, using the
current values from the working set:
= ADD SERVER FRED
NOTE: Do not use PATHCOM-reserved words to identify PATHMON-controlled objects. For a
list of reserved words, see “PATHCOM Reserved Words” (page 315).
These paragraphs describe how to display, modify, override, and reinitialize working set values.
Displaying Working Set Values
Before you actually begin configuring objects in your environment, you can display the initial
working set for each object type by entering the SHOW command. For instance, to list the attributes
in the working set for SERVER objects, you enter:
= SHOW SERVER
In response to this command, PATHCOM displays:
SERVER
PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN
AUTORESTART 0
CREATEDELAY 1 MINS
DEBUG OFF
DELETEDELAY 10 MINS
HOMETERM $term-name
HIGHPIN OFF
LINKDEPTH 1
MAXSERVERS 1
NUMSTATIC 0
OWNER owner
PRI priority
PROGRAM ?
SECURITY "N"
TMF OFF
VOLUME \node.$volume.subvolume
In this example, the working set is in the initial state. For attributes with default values assigned by
PATHCOM, the default value is displayed; for example, the default value for the AUTORESTART
attribute is 0. Attributes to which you must assign values are flagged with a question mark.
Establishing and Modifying Working Set Values
As you configure the objects in your PATHMON environment, you can establish or modify the
attribute values in the PATHCOM working set using the SET command. For example, you can
establish a value for the PROCCESSTYPE attribute for SERVER objects by entering:
= SET SERVER PROCESSTYPE OSS
As another example, you can specify the maximum number of static server processes allowed
within a server class by entering:
= SET SERVER NUMSTATIC 2
