Pathway translation server for the NonStop
TUXEDO system
Pathway translation server for the NonStop TUXEDO system. A server process,
provided by Tandem as part of the NonStop TUXEDO product, that allows a Pathway
(SCREEN COBOL or Pathsend) requester to use the services of a NonStop TUXEDO
server. The translation server thus acts as a gateway process between the Pathway
environment and the NonStop TUXEDO environment. Requesters that use this
translation server must include special information in the header of each request
message to identify the target NonStop TUXEDO application and service.
Pathway/TS. A Tandem product that provides tools for developing and interpreting screen
programs to support OLTP applications in the Guardian environment on Tandem
NonStop systems. Pathway/TS screen programs communicate with terminals and
intelligent devices. Pathway/TS includes the TCP, the SCREEN COBOL compiler and
run-time environment, and the SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP). It requires
the services of the NonStop TS/MP product. See also NonStop Transaction
Services/MP (NonStop TS/MP).
PDMCOM. A new command-line interface used to start PDMI, configure, and manage
multiple Pathway environments at the same time. It is a superset of PATHCOM.
PIN. See process identification number (PIN).
POBJ. The default prefix, or file-name root, used by the SCREEN COBOL compiler in
naming its output files. If no prefix is specified in the RUN command to run the
compiler, the compiler produces a code file named POBJCOD, a directory file named
POBJDIR, and (if the SYMBOLS option is enabled) a symbols file named POBJSYM.
POET. See Pathway Open Environment Toolkit (POET).
primary process. The currently active process of a process pair in the Guardian
environment. See also backup process and process pair.
process. (1) A unique execution of a program in the Guardian environment. (2) An entity in
the OSS environment consisting of an address space, a single thread of control that
executes within that address space, and the system resources required by that thread
of control. See also process type.
process broker (PB) process. A process that executes in each processor within a system
to manage the resources and link reservations for the processor.
process identification number (PIN). An unsigned integer that identifies a process within a
processor module in a Tandem NonStop system.
process management. The act of configuring, creating, and initializing processes; the
monitoring and stopping of processes; and the recovery of failed processes. The
PATHMON process provides process management functions for OLTP applications on
Tandem NonStop systems.
Note. The PB process is part of the ACS subsystem.
