Examples of System Management
Tasks
Example Task Overview
This section presents an example that demonstrates typical system management
operations. The example illustrates configuration guidelines and steps, using many of
the commands described throughout this manual and the TS/MP System Management
Manual. By following the steps in the example, you can create and configure a
PATHMON environment that runs a small sample application.
The example includes three general tasks:
•
Configuring and starting the PATHMON process and its objects
•
Restarting the environment and adding dedicated devices
Communicating with another PATHMON environment
Configuring and Starting a Simple PATHMON
Environment (Task 1)
In this task, you configure and start a simple PATHMON environment that runs a small
application. This application consists of a single screen program that communicates
with a single server program. The application involves no database or other major
component: its purpose is to demonstrate PATHMON environment management
techniques rather than application design concepts.
The PATHMON environment requires a TCP to run the screen program, a PROGRAM
object to allow users to run the application from temporary terminals, and a SERVER
process to run the server program. In configuring and using this system, you
demonstrate how:
•
A new PATHMON environment is started (through a COLD start operation)
•
A Pathway application is started from a temporary (PROGRAM) terminal (through
a RUN command)
•
A request is transmitted from a TCP to a server process (through the SEND
statement in a screen program)
For purposes of this example, the sample source code for the screen and server
programs appears in Appendix G, Source Code for Programs in Section 6. Both the
Note. The example in this section includes some PATHCOM commands that apply to TS/MP
and others that are specific to the HP NonStop Pathway/iTS product. For general descriptions
and detailed syntax of the TS/MP commands, see the TS/MP System Management Manual.
