Maintaining a PATHMON
Environment
System Maintenance Tasks
This section describes operations you need to perform on a regular basis to maintain a
PATHMON environment. Tasks you must perform regularly include:
•
Monitor status and performance by displaying information about your PATHMON
environment and its objects
•
Reconfigure, when necessary, to accommodate new application requirements, new
users, and so on
•
Manage exception conditions when and if they occur
At times, you might also need to perform other operations, such as:
•
Migrate your environment to a different system
•
Send messages, ranging from informative text to urgent requests, to users
•
Change the owner and security of your system
Displaying Information About a PATHMON
Environment
The PATHMON process maintains information about object configurations, object
status, and operation statistics.
You can display this information using these commands:
•
INFO command
•
STATUS command
•
STATS command
You use the STATUS command to determine the state of a PATHMON environment
and its objects: running, stopped, suspended, and so on. You use the INFO command
to display the current configuration of a PATHMON environment and PATHMON-
Note. PDMCOM or PATHCOM can be used for displaying information about a TS/MP 2.3 (or
later version) PATHMON Environment. However, it is recommended to use PDMCOM (instead
of PATHCOM) because it can communicate with multiple PATHMONs simultaneously. For
more information, see the TS/MP Release Supplement.
