TS/MP 2.5 System Management Manual

Overriding Working-Set Values
When you add an object, you can temporarily override the current attribute values in the PATHCOM
working set by specifying other values in the ADD command. For example, this command creates
a SERVER named JOHN, using the working-set values for all SERVER attributes except the HIGHPIN
attribute (which will have the value ON):
= ADD SERVER JOHN, HIGHPIN ON
Notice that this command does not change the values currently recorded in the working set—it
only overrides them for this particular instance of the ADD command.
Reinitializing Working-Set Values
You can reset any or all PATHCOM working-set values to their initial state (the values that existed
when PATHCOM was started) by using the RESET command. For example, to reset the
PROCESSTYPE, AUTORESTART, and NUMSTATIC values for SERVER objects to their initial settings,
you enter:
= RESET SERVER PROCESSTYPE, AUTORESTART, NUMSTATIC
To reset all SERVER attributes to their initial values, you enter:
= RESET SERVER
If an attribute for an object has no standard initial default value, PATHCOM resets that attribute
to indicate that the value is not yet specified (you see the attribute flagged with a question mark
when you issue the SHOW command).
Displaying Object Attributes
After an object is added to the system and the attributes are recorded in the PATHMON
configuration file, you can examine these attributes by using the INFO command. For instance, to
display the attribute values for the SERVER named ANNA, you would enter:
= INFO SERVER ANNA
The resulting display appears in this format:
SERVER ANNA
PROCESSTYPE GUARDIAN
AUTORESTART 0
CPUS (2:1,3:2,0:1)
CREATEDELAY 1 MINS
DEBUG OFF
DEFINE =EMP, CLASS MAP, FILE \SYS.$D.APPL.EMP
DELETEDELAY 10 MINS
HIGHPIN OFF
HOMETERM \*.$TERM
LINKDEPTH 1
MAXSERVERS 5
NUMSTATIC 2
OWNER \TS.8,8
PRI 134
PROGRAM \*.$BANK1.TEST.CHECK
SECURITY "N"
TMF ON
VOLUME \*.$BANK1.TESTING
In the above example, the generic node name \* specified for the HOMETERM, PROGRAM, and
VOLUME attribute values indicates that node name for these attributes will default to the node
where the PATHMON process is currently running.
In “Capturing a Configuration” (page 97) you will see how the INFO command can be used to
create OBEYFORM files that contain all the definitions for your complete PATHMON environment.
These files can be used as a basis for starting operations.
