Configuring Objects in a PATHMON Environment

Using the SET and ADD Commands
CMDVOL command to set the default node, volume, and subvolume for the
expansion of any file names. When creating OSS servers, use the CMDCWD
command to record an OSS directory to be used to resolve relative file names
specified for OSS server attributes. For more details on these commands, see
CMDVOL Command and CMDCWD Command.
If you do not specify a node name as part of the file name for a process or device
in a configuration, the default node for the file-name expansion is affected by any
values you specify for the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute of the SET PATHWAY
command or for the node portion of the CMDVOL command. The node name
used is the node on which the PATHMON process is currently running if any one of
this situations applies:
•
You set the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute of the SET PATHWAY command to
ON and you omit the node name in the parameter.
•
You set the node name to \* in a CMDVOL command and you omit the node
name in the parameter.
•
You specify \* for the node name in the parameter.
For more information on the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute, see the description of
the SET PATHWAY command in Section 11, PATHMON Environment Control
Commands.
2. Add the object with the ADD command.
The PATHMON process writes the object’s name and definition to the PATHMON
configuration file, inserting this information in the space allocated for it when the file
was created. The object definition recorded in the configuration file includes
attribute values assigned by default as well as those that you specified in your SET
commands.
The object name you assign in the ADD command is used in later PATHCOM
commands that refer to the object. For more information about names, see Choosing
Names for PATHMON-Controlled Objects
To illustrate the relationship between the SET and ADD functions, suppose that you
want to define and add a SERVER identified by the name SERVER-X. You first define
the attributes by using a series of SET SERVER commands or by accepting default
attribute values from PATHCOM:
= SET SERVER PROCESSTYPE OSS
= SET SERVER CREATEDELAY 1 MINS
= SET SERVER MAXSERVERS 2
= SET SERVER CPUS (3:2, 0:6)
= SET SERVER PROGRAM \PARIS.$MARKT.UPDATE
= SET SERVER SECURITY “N”
Note. You cannot configure remote OSS servers in your PATHMON configuration. Although
PATHCOM allows you to ADD an OSS server configured on a remote node, PATHMON cannot
START a remote OSS server.
