SET TCP Command
The value you assign for this attribute depends on the number and the size of the
screen programs in your applications and also on the available swap space. Some
guidelines for estimating this attribute are:
•
Use the size of the SCREEN COBOL programs (the screen data plus the
RUNUNIT SIZE listed for these programs compiled with MAP) that make up
the applications for this TCP. Note that not all of the screen programs are
executed all of the time, and that the most regularly used programs determine
the amount of code space most often required.
•
Making the code area slightly larger than necessary can prevent the TCP from
having to perform unnecessary code fetching during TCP operation. The larger
code area only costs you disk space for the swap file.
•
After running the TCP with STATS ON, check the STATS TCP display
information and adjust the size of the code area to the actual value required.
For more information about TCP STATS display information, see Section 4,
Maintaining Pathway/iTS Objects.
CPUS primary:backup
specifies the primary and backup processors on which the TCPs run.
You must set the TCP NONSTOP attribute to 1 to have a backup process created.
If you omit this attribute, the PATHMON process chooses a primary CPU and a
backup CPU. This attribute is meaningless for single processor systems.
DEBUG { ON | OFF }
specifies whether a TCP enters debug mode on startup.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF.
ON
directs the TCP to enter debug mode. If the PATHMON process is configured
with INSPECT, the TCP enters the HP Inspect symbolic debugger program
instead of the DEBUG program.
OFF
directs the TCP not to enter debug mode.
DUMP {ON | OFF}
specifies whether the TCP writes the contents of its data stack and extended data
segment information to a disk file if an internal or fatal TCP error occurs.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF
Note. The value defined for the CONTROL TCP DUMP attribute overrides the value
defined in the SET TCP DUMP attribute.
