TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

Each time you enter the ADD command to add an object, the PATHMON process assigns the
working-set values last established for that object type (unless you override these values with new
ones in the ADD command). This feature allows you to use the PATHCOM working set as a template
for defining and adding multiple objects of the same type with identical or similar attribute values.
For example, these commands add four SERVER objects to your PATHMON environment.
= SET SERVER PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN
= SET SERVER LINKDEPTH 1
= ADD SERVER FRED, PROGRAM \*.$MKT.SALES.HIST
= ADD SERVER JOAN, PROGRAM \*.$MKT.SALES.PROJ
= SET SERVER LINKDEPTH 2
= ADD SERVER DON, PROGRAM \*.$MKT.SALES.ANAL
= ADD SERVER MARY,PROGRAM \*.$MKT.SALES.ADMIN
All these SERVER objects have the same PROCESSTYPE attribute (namely, Guardian). FRED and
JOAN have a LINKDEPTH of 1, while DON and MARY have a LINKDEPTH of 2. Each SERVER
object has a unique, node-independent, PROGRAM attribute. Figure 19 (page 59) shows the
attribute values for the SERVER object named MARY being added to the PATHMON configuration
file.
The PATHMON process does not check that you have assigned all the required attribute values
for an object until you enter the ADD command.
Remember that these values are known only to PATHCOM and are maintained only during
PATHCOM execution; when you exit from PATHCOM, they revert to their original settings. For
example, for SERVER objects, the value for the PROGRAM attribute ceases to exist when you exit
from PATHCOM.
