Configuring Global Parameters
Using DEFINEs
You can use DEFINEs to specify names for the files that PATHCOM uses directly as
command files. For example:
12> ADD DEFINE =CMD-FILE, CLASS MAP, FILE $DATA.PW.CONFIG
13> ADD DEFINE =OUT-FILE, CLASS SPOOL,LOC $S, REPORT “CONFIG”
14> PATHCOM/IN =CMD-FILE, OUT =OUT-FILE/ $PMX
In the preceding example, PATHCOM reads commands from the command file
specified by the DEFINE =CMD-FILE ($DATA.PW.CONFIG) and lists them on the
device specified by the DEFINE =OUT-FILE ($S).
For detailed information about DEFINEs, see the TACL Reference Manual and the
Guardian User’s Guide.
Configuring Global Parameters
After you have named your PATHMON process and opened communication with
PATHCOM, you are ready to configure global parameters using the SET PATHWAY
command.
The SET PATHWAY command enables you to define the limits for your overall
configuration and to specify node-independent, owner, and security attributes. These
tasks are briefly described in this paragraphs. For more information, see Section 3,
Configuring Objects in a PATHMON Environment.
Specifying Limits
Limits are global values that determine the maximum number of objects of each type
that you can define when you are ready to configure individual objects. For example,
suppose that yousuppose that you want to indicate that your system will permit a
maximum of:
•
5 server classes
•
25 server processes
•
5 server STARTUP messages
•
7 server ASSIGN messages
•
5 server PARAM messages
To establish these limits, you enter these commands:
= SET PATHWAY MAXSERVERCLASSES 5
= SET PATHWAY MAXSERVERPROCESSES 25
= SET PATHWAY MAXSTARTUPS 5
= SET PATHWAY MAXASSIGNS 7
= SET PATHWAY MAXPARAMS 5
The PATHMON process saves the configuration values that you specify in memory, as
shown in Figure 2-5, until you specify the START command, at which time the
