SET SERVER Command
If you omit this attribute, the default is an unlimited number of links. It is strongly
recommended that you set a value for MAXLINKS.
If this is an associative server, you should include links allocated by other
PATHMON environments when calculating the size of the RECEIVE-CONTROL
paragraph.
The value of MAXLINKS should always be greater than or equal to the value of
LINKDEPTH (unless MAXLINKS is set to 0).
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
MAXSERVERS number
specifies the maximum number of server processes in this server class that can
run at the same time.
number must be a value from 0 through 4095. If you omit this attribute, the default
is 1.
If MAXSERVERS is greater than the number of server process names that you
define with the PROCESS attribute, the operating system assigns process names
in the form $Xnnn, $Ynnn, or $Znnn after the last predefined process name is
used.
The sum of all MAXSERVERS values for all server classes cannot exceed the
number defined in the SET PATHWAY MAXSERVERPROCESSES attribute.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
NUMSTATIC number
specifies the maximum number of static servers within this server class. These
servers can be started using the START SERVER command or as a result of a link
request. These servers remain running until a STOP SERVER command is issued
or all of their links are returned by link managers (that is, TCPs, LINKMON
processes, or ACS subsystem processes).
number must be a value from 0 through 4095. If you omit this attribute, the default
is 0 (that is, all servers are dynamic). The PATHMON process does not create a
server until it receives a link request from a TCP, LINKMON process or ACS
subsystem processes. When NUMSTATIC is 0, the first link to a server class
counts as a static link in the STATS command display.
Note. The value of MAXLINKS and the value of the TABLE OCCURS clause in the RECEIVE–
CONTROL paragraph of your COBOL server programs must correspond with each other. The
MAXLINKS value must be equal to or less than the TABLE OCCURS value. When the COBOL
RECEIVE–CONTROL table is full, new requests to the server fail with file-system error 12 (File
in use). This error is most likely to occur during peak transaction load times. For more
information about the RECEIVE–CONTROL paragraph of a COBOL program, see the COBOL
Reference Manual.
