ACSCTL Configuration File Syntax

The ACSCTL file is a standard edit file using the following syntax definitions:

<file> = {[[<comment><eol>]&]<adsection><pdsection><osection>}

The syntax definition of the ACSCTL file sections is explained below:

<comment> = {#{any printable character}&}

<eol> = {?\n?}

<adsection> = {<sp>[ACS Domain]<sp><eol>[[<pline>]&]}

<pdsection> = {<sp>[Pathway Domain]<sp><eol>[[<dline>]&]}

<osection> = {<sp>[Owner Membership]<sp><eol>[[<oline>]&]}

<sp> = {{? ?|?\t?|NULL}&}

<pline> = {<adname>]<sp>=<sp><system>}

<dline> = {<pdname><sp>=<sp><PATHMON><sp>}

<oline> = {<owner><sp>=<sp><pdname>[,<sp><pdname>[,&]<sp>]<eol>}

<adname> = {ACS domain name}

<system> = {\{Valid NonStop system name on EXPAND network}}

<pdname> = {Pathway domain name}

<pathmon> = {<pname>[:<weight>]<sp>{[,<sp><pname>]&}}

<owner> = {NonStop user name }

<weight> = {percent of link requests to be provided by PATHMON based on the

processing capacity of a system available to the PATHWAY application}

<pname> = {NonStop system qualified PATHMON process name}

The following context checks are made in the above syntax:

•

The number of NonStop systems is limited to one.

•

The number of PATHMONs, used to define the Pathway domain, are limited to

four. However, there is no limit on the number of Pathway domains defined.

•

The PATHMON weight values associated with a Pathway domain must add up to

100.

The following is an example of an

ACSCTL file that defines two Pathway domains %PMX

and

%PMY. The %PMX Pathway domain comprises of three different PATHMON

processes (

$PM1, $PM2, and $PM3) while %PMY Pathway domain comprises of two

different PATHMON processes (

$PM4 and $PM5). However, all PATHMON processes

run on only one NonStop system

\A. The owners of the environments are defined in

Note. The operational validity of the definitions in the ACSCTL file are verified at run time. The

syntactical definitions in the ACSCTL file are verified at the time of configuration and all errors

encountered are reported through the SCF interface.
