About This Manual
This manual provides guidelines and examples for configuring and managing the
J06.03 and subsequent RVUs, and H06.05 and subsequent RVUs of TS/MP, which run
on HP Integrity NonStop™ Servers and HP Integrity NonStop™ BladeSystem.This
manual is one of the set of manuals that describes the TS/MP and Pathway/iTS. The
contents of these two products are as follows:
•
NonStop TS/MP: This product consists of the PATHMON process, the LINKMON
process or the application cluster services (ACS) subsystem processes, the
PATHCOM process and interface,the PDMCOM process, the PDMI and the
Pathsend procedure calls.
•
Pathway/iTS: This product consists of the terminal control process (TCP), the
SCREEN COBOL compiler and run-time environment, and the SCREEN COBOL
Utility Program (SCUP).
Together with the TMF and its TMF subsystem, TS/MP forms the foundation for HP’s
open transaction processing and client/server products.
The Pathway/iTS product supports requester programs that run in the Guardian
environment and communicate with terminals and intelligent devices. It requires the
services of the NonStop TS/MP product.
Purpose of This Manual
This manual is both a task-oriented manual and a reference manual. It describes how
to start, configure, and manage a PATHMON environment using the PATHCOM
interactive management interface to NonStop TS/MP. It describes TACL commands
and PATHCOM commands used to start, configure, and manage a PATHMON
controlled environment on NonStop systems. This manual also includes information on
monitoring and adjusting your PATHMON environment to optimize performance,
diagnosing and fixing problems, as well as manageability guidelines such as how to
start PATHMON-controlled objects in parallel to help performance.
It also provides syntax and complete descriptions of all PATHCOM commands and
PATHCOM, PATHMON, LINKMON error messages, and ACS subsystem messages.
If your environment includes Pathway/iTS, you must use this manual in conjunction
with the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual, which provides information for
configuring and controlling Pathway/iTS objects in a PATHMON environment. You
should read this manual first to get an overview of the PATHMON environment and to
find out how Pathway/iTS objects are supported. If you are using TS/MP 2.3 and later
versions, see the TS/MP Release Supplement.
