4 Introduction to PDMCOM

Pathway Domain Management Command interpreter (PDMCOM) is a new

command line interface used to start PDMI. By default, it resides in

$SYSTEM.SYSTEM, is a superset of PATHCOM, and supports wildcarded object

names.

PDMCOM provides an easy configuration and management interface for multiple

Pathway environments grouped together in a domain. This domain feature, provided

by ACS in TS/MP 2.3, eliminates application outages through online changes to the

Pathway configuration.

This section includes these topics:

PDMCOM Commands

Starting and Using PDMCOM

After starting the PATHMON processes, you can start a PDMCOM process to

communicate with the PATHMON processes by issuing an implicit RUN

command to

TACL.

Example 1:

> PDMCOM

This command starts the PDMCOM process.

You can enter this command from your terminal, as shown in Example 1. Alternatively,

you can create a command file that contains this command (and others) and then run

the commands in that file.

The operating system responds to your command by creating your PDMCOM process.

For PDMCOM to function correctly, both PDMCOM and PATHCOM must reside in the

same location. By default, both PDMCOM and PATHCOM are installed at

$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.

When PDMCOM starts, it displays the PDMCOM banner message on your screen, and

presents a ">>" sign as a prompt for your first PDMCOM command:

PDMI - T0845H01 - (01MAY2008) - 11 July 2008, 19:12:22

PDMI 1>>

Enter the PDMCOM commands to perform the remainder of your system management

tasks. When you enter the first PDMCOM command, PDMCOM runs it and prompts

you for another command.

Note. PDMCOM does not support SPI commands.
