CORBA 2.3.3 Administration Guide (NonStop CORBA 2.3.3+)

NonStop CORBA Configuration Management
The NonStop CORBA system is implemented as an application using TS/MP, which provides for scalability and
load balancing by allowing multiple processes to work in parallel to perform the same task. TS/MP also provides
for availability: its monitor process, called PATHMON, automatically restarts a process that fails. Because
TS/MP provides all process management for the NonStop CORBA system, you use TS/MP interfaces to
configure and manage the NonStop CORBA system processes.
The user interface of TS/MP is a line-oriented utility called PATHCOM. PATHCOM includes commands for
setting and reviewing configuration options, starting and stopping processes, and gathering information about
process status and utilization. You can use PATHCOM interactively or by means of command files. You can also
write applications that use the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) to perform any function available through
PATHCOM.
To define and maintain the configuration of networking resources (TCP/IP, LAN, QIO, and X25AM), you use the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) or write an application that uses the SPI. The SCF and corresponding
programmatic interfaces include commands for setting and reviewing configuration options and for gathering
