PSNDCTL OPEN The PSNDCTL OPEN command makes a Pathway server class available for use by
NonStop NET/MASTER MS. As a result of this command, many NonStop
NET/MASTER MS processes can communicate with the server class, but no other
Guardian process can communicate exclusively with the server class. You can make a
server class available with PSNDCTL OPEN once only.
After a server class is made available for use by NonStop NET/MASTER MS and it
has an identifier, an NCL process can establish communication with it using the
PSEND OPEN verb.
PSNDCTL OPEN= process-spec
[ ID= server-class-identifier ]
[ RECSIZE= buffer-size ]
[ SWGUID={ YES | NO } ]
process-spec :
[ \ sys . ] pathmon-process-name . pathway-server-class-name
process-spec
specifies the name of the Pathway server class.
ID
assigns a unique identifier to the Pathway server class when it is made available
for use by NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
The server class identifier is the logical name used by PSEND verbs in NCL
processes to communicate with the server class. The identifier provides a logical
connection between NCL and the server class. A server class must have an
identifier before an NCL process can work with the server class.
server-class-identifier
specifies a Pathway server class identifier. You can specify an identifier from
one through eight characters long, beginning with a character other than a
digit. It can contain the following characters:
Alphabetic characters: A through Z and a through z
Numeric characters: 0 through 9
Other characters: # $ @ _
RECSIZE= buffer-size
specifies the maximum size for request and reply messages in bytes. The default
value is 4096. You can specify a value from 1 through 32000.
