Configuring Objects in a PATHMON Environment

Specifying Security
Some Names Are Always Node-Independent
Note that some object names are node-independent regardless of whether you use the
NODEINDEPENDENT attribute or not. These include the names of log files in which
the PATHMON process records errors and object status changes. If you leave the
node portion of a log file name unspecified, the node name always defaults to the node
where the PATHMON process is running at any given time.
Migration Considerations
Designating your PATHMON application as node-independent simplifies, but does not
eliminate, the tasks associated with migrating an application from one system to
another. Migrating device names configured under Pathway/iTS, for example, is not
useful unless physical devices with those names are connected to the new node. For
considerations when migrating your PATHMON application to a new node, see
Migrating Your Environment to a Different System.
Specifying Security
You can specify security for your PATHMON environment by setting the OWNER and
SECURITY attributes of the SET PATHWAY command.
The OWNER attribute indicates the owner of the PATHMON environment, who can
stop the PATHMON process, add programs, delete objects, and so on. The owner can
change every attribute of the global configuration.
PATHMON SECURITY values (A, G, O, -, N, C, and U) are the same as Guardian
security values.
This example specifies that only the owner—user ID 8,61—can modify the PATHMON
environment:
SET PATHWAY OWNER 8,61
SET PATHWAY SECURITY “O”
The next example specifies that any member of user group ID 8 can modify the
PATHMON environment:
SET PATHWAY OWNER 8,61
SET PATHWAY SECURITY “G”
