Configuring and Starting the NetBatch-Plus Pathway
System
Configuring and Starting the NetBatch-Plus
Pathway System
Before you can run the NetBatch-Plus application, you must configure and start its
Pathway system. For descriptions of these general tasks for configuring and starting
any Pathway system, see the Pathway/TS System Management Manual:
•
Starting the Pathway monitor process (PATHMON) and the command interface to
that process (PATHCOM)
•
Configuring the PATHMON process and Pathway system and starting Pathway
operations
•
Configuring and starting the Pathway objects (TCPs, PATHWAY terminals, server
classes)
The NetBatch-Plus application performs these startup and configuration tasks for you
when you invoke either of two TACL macros created by the NetBatch-Plus installation
macro INSTALL. These macros are:
Cold Starting the NetBatch-Plus Pathway System
1. Log on as the owner of the NetBatch-Plus TACL macro NCOLD. (The macro’s file
security is “OOOO,” which means only its owner can invoke it.)
$SALES MKTG 19> LOGON 205,70
Password:
$FPP ADMIN 20>
2. Change the current volume and subvolume to the NetBatch-Plus object file
subvolume. This subvolume contains the NCOLD macro.
$FPP ADMIN 20> VOLUME $DATA7.NBPOBJ
3. Invoke the NCOLD macro to start the Pathway configuration and startup process.
$DATA7 NBPOBJ 21> NCOLD
NCOLD Cold starts the Pathway system using configuration information from the
PATHCONF file. (For information about this file, see The Pathway Configuration
File on page 3-1.) Use the NCOLD macro in either of these circumstances:
•
To configure and start a newly installed system for the first time.
•
To reconfigure and start a system that has been running before. For
information on reconfiguring the Pathway system, see Section 3, Changing
the NetBatch-Plus Pathway Configuration.
NCOOL Cool starts the Pathway system using configuration information from an existing
NetBatch-Plus Pathway control file (NBPCTL). Use NCOOL to cool start a
system that has been running before.
