Pathway object
Pathway object. An object in the Pathway transaction processing environment. The set of
Pathway objects is a more inclusive set than the set of PATHMON-controlled objects:
for example, a LINKMON process is a Pathway object but not a PATHMON-controlled
object. See also object
, PATHMON-controlled object, and Pathway transaction
processing environment.
PATHWAY object. An object that represents an entire PATHMON environment (in a
Pathway environment without Pathway/XM) or an entire Pathway/XM environment
(when Pathway/XM is used). See also PATHMON environment
and Pathway/XM
environment.
Pathway server. A server process or program in the Pathway transaction processing
environment. See also NonStop™ TUXEDO server
.
Pathway subsystem. The PATHMON environment components to which SPI commands are
sent under the Pathway subsystem ID and which generate EMS event messages with the
Pathway subsystem ID. All SPI commands for the Pathway subsystem are sent to the
PATHMON process, but the processing for the command might involve other processes,
such as a TCP. Likewise, all EMS messages from the Pathway subsystem are generated
by the PATHMON process, but the information might originate from another process.
See also subsystem ID
.
Pathway system. A term formerly used for the set of objects managed by a particular
PATHMON process; now called PATHMON environment. See PATHMON
environment.
Pathway transaction processing environment. A run-time environment consisting of
transaction-processing products provided by Compaq for the Guardian operating
environment on NonStop™ Himalaya systems. This term is often shortened to
“Pathway environment.” Depending on the needs of your application, your Pathway
environment could include NonStop™ TS/MP, the run-time portions of Pathway/iTS
(the TCP and the SCREEN COBOL run-time environment), and processes from related
products such as NonStop™ TM/MP, GDSX, and RSC/MP.
Pathway to TUXEDO (PWY2TUX) translation server. A special-purpose server process,
provided by Compaq as part of the NonStop™ TUXEDO product, that allows a
Pathway (SCREEN COBOL or Pathsend) requester to use the services of a
NonStop™ TUXEDO server.
Pathway/iTS. A Compaq product that provides tools for developing and interpreting screen
programs to support OLTP applications in the Guardian environment on NonStop™
Himalaya systems. Pathway/iTS screen programs communicate with terminals and
intelligent devices and can also be converted to web clients. Pathway/iTS includes the
TCP, the SCREEN COBOL compiler and run-time environment, and the SCREEN
COBOL Utility Program (SCUP). It requires the services of the NonStop™ TS/MP
product. See also NonStop™ Transaction Services/MP (NonStop™ TS/MP)
and
Pathway/XM.
