from the

PATHMON process at the same time. Server processes can be shared

between process brokers if the

MAXLINKS attribute is set to a value greater than 1.

10. Parallel requests to a server process are queued on the server's

$RECEIVE file

until they are handled by the server process.

Pathway Domain Support

Pathsend APIs SERVERCLASS_SEND_ and SERVERCLASS_DIALOG_BEGIN_

include the new Pathway domain syntax in place of the

PATHMON name. Also, the

existing optional

flags parameter is updated to override the default behavior of

sending resquests to a Pathway domain.

The application environment (PATHMON) parameter used in the Pathsend APIs now

supports the Pathway domain name being passed for this parameter. The Pathway

domain name is established through the

ACSCTL file domain membership section. This

name is used to identify a set of PATHMON processes that can be used to obtain links

for an identified server class.
