Rule Actions
When a message triggers the rule, the message handler starts NCL procedure
ZRMSDSNN to perform the following:
1. Issue DSNM commands to restart the Pathway terminal control process (TCP)
identified in the message and the associated terminals. If the restart operation is
successful, the procedure logs the following message in the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS activity log:
RMS9902 PATHWAY TCP tcp-name UNDER process-name RECOVERY
COMPLETE. STATUS: UP
tcp-name is the name of the TCP that has been restarted, and process-name is
the name of the PATHWAY process that manages the TCP.
2. If Step 1 fails, delay one minute and then retry Step 1. The restart operation
repeats until it is successful or the action is deleted. See “Displaying, Freezing,
and Deleting Active Subjects” in Section 9 for information on how to delete rule
actions for an active subject.
NCL Queue
The rule actions execute in the BASERULEZPATHTCPFAIL NCL queue, which has a
default execution limit of 5.
Customizing the Rule
You can customize the rule by changing the execution limit of the NCL queue in which
the rule actions execute. Use the NCLQUEUE SET command from the OCS command
line to change the execution limit. See Section 3, “Planning for, Installing, and
Managing RMS,” for more information.
ZPATHTRMABRT ZPATHTRMABRT is a message action rule that acts in response to event number 1002
from the Pathway subsystem. The rule restarts an aborted Pathway terminal.
Message Delivery
The rule instructs the message handler to deliver the original message (event
number 1002 from the Pathway subsystem) which appears in NonStop NET/MASTER
MS as the following:
PWY1002 *1002* TERM terminal-name ABORTED
The subject is terminal-name with the name of the PATHWAY process as the
manager (for example, SYDNEY-21 as subject and \SDPL.$ZVPT as manager).
Rule Actions
When a message triggers the rule, the message handler starts NCL procedure
ZRMSPWTN. ZRMSPWTN issues the DSNM START command to restart the aborted
Pathway terminal identified in the message. If the restart fails, either a PWY1048 or a
PWY1049 message arrives at the message handler to trigger the ZPATHTRMSUS1 or
ZPATHTRMSUS2 rule, respectively.
