Object Types
Table 3-4 on page 3-8 lists the valid objects for each command. Commands that affect
Pathway/iTS objects are described in this manual. Commands that affect TS/MP
objects are described in the TS/MP Management Programming Manual.
ZPWY-OBJ-TERM TERM objects represent tasks that control I/O devices such as
terminals or workstations, or that control processes that enable
users to interoperate with a transaction-processing application.
Each task runs as a thread in the TCP; the TCP can handle
many such threads concurrently. There are two types:
configured TERM objects and temporary TERM objects.
Configured TERM objects are those you define and add to the
PATHMON configuration file. These represent tasks that use
SCREEN COBOL programs to control I/O devices or
processes. The names you specify for configured TERM
objects must begin with a letter.
Temporary TERM objects are created (and automatically
deleted) by the PATHMON process in response to a START
PROG command, using the template you configured as a
PROG object. The PATHMON process assigns names
ZPWY-OBJ-TCPTERM A TERM object running under the control of a TCP.
ZPWY-OBJ-SCTERM A TERM object that is preventing its associated server class
from being frozen.
PROGRAM Objects
ZPWY-OBJ-PROG A template used by the PATHMON process when creating and
starting temporary TERM objects. The templates define tasks
that enable TCPs to run screen programs temporarily on one or
more devices. When the task is completed, the TERM object is
automatically deleted.
ZPWY-OBJ-PROGTERM A device type definition for a specific PROG.
TELL Objects
ZPWY-OBJ-TELL A temporary object that exists only for the duration of a tell
message.
Note: You cannot use commands on Pathway/iTS objects unless a licensed copy of the
Pathway/iTS product exists on the system.
