ASAP 3.2 Server Manual

HP NonStop ASAP Server Manual Page 133 of 381
Bin\Sh\$Name for a process named $Name or might be Bin\Sh\$.2.59.6181274 for the
unnamed process running in CPU 2, PIN 59.
The OSS pathname can be the complete domain name, as shown in the /bin/sh
example, or it can be preceded by a logical name as described in the next section. For
example, MONITOR PROCESS OSS\SHELL/bin/sh creates an ASAP domain name of
OSS\SHELL\BIN\SH. The name OSS\SHELL/bin/sh is equivalent to
OSS\SHELL\/bin/sh.
If OSS pathnames cannot work as a part of an ASAP domain name, or you do not like
the way ASAP converts the pathname into a domain name, you can create your own,
unique domain name and use the MONITOR command PATH option to specify the
OSS pathname.
All OSS pathnames must begin with a slash.
Note
Resolving the processes running from an OSS pathname can result in excessive low-level
messaging in the NonStop OS. This method should be used judiciously in extremely high-
performance application environments.
Logical Grouping
ASAP lets you group files into hierarchical groups of files and processes into
hierarchical groups of processes. This feature is implemented in the MONITOR
command, allowing you to specify a logical group name or names that the file or
process belongs to. For example, these monitor commands define processes $A10
through $A14 as members of the Sales application:
Monitor Process Sales\Order\Entry\$A10
Monitor Process Sales\Order\Entry\$A11
Monitor Process Sales\Order\Fullfillment\$A12
Monitor Process Sales\Mfg\Build\Westcoast\$A13
Monitor Process Sales\Shipments\International\$A14
The rules for the logical domain names are:
1. The entire name must be between 2 through 64 bytes in length.
2. The name can contain up to five levels separated by a backslash.
3. The last level of the name must be an object selector: a filename or process name,
a wildcard file or process name, or a process object filename.
4. The name can be constructed with any printable ASCII character except a space,
colon, semicolon, quotation mark, or asterisk.
5. A physical file or process can belong to multiple groups.
