Defining an I Process as a Pathway Server
are in a text file named ZCPWDSMS (if your installation includes NetStatus) or 
ZCPWDSNM (if it does not).  The following are settings for a Pathway server: 
RESET SERVER
Resets values for all server class attributes to 
PATHMON defaults.
SET SERVER AUTORESTART
{0..32767}; number of times PATHMON attempts 
to restart server process after an abnormal 
termination. Default is 0.
SET SERVER PRI
{1..199}; priority at which server processes of 
this server class run. Default is 10 less than the 
priority of PATHMON.
SET SERVER CPUS
primary-cpu:backup-cpu 
SET SERVER LINKDEPTH
maximum-number of concurrent links a server 
process can have before PATHOM directs the TCP 
link requests to another server process within the 
server class. Default is 1.
SET SERVER MAXLINKS
maximum-number of processes allowed in this 
server class. Default is unlimited.
SET SERVER NUMSTATIC
maximum-number of static server processes in this 
class.  Default is 0.
SET SERVER MAXSERVERS
maximum-number of server processes in this 
server class that can run at the same time. Default 
is 1.
SET SERVER PROGRAM
$volume.subvol.object-file for the server 
class; this is a required parameter.
SET SERVER STARTUP
“string” specifying process startup parameters. 
For example, SET SERVER STARTUP “DSNM 
idev” specifies the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.DSNM 
section from which the configuration file for this 
process is obtained.
SET SERVER PROCESS
$process-name within the server class that 
PATHMON assigns to the server process when it 
creates it.
ADD SERVER
server-class-name; names server class and 
adds its definitions to PATHMON control file. 
 .
 .
START SERVER
server-class-name;  starts NUMSTATIC number of 
server processes for this server class.
