Distributing a Pathway Environment
processors of your NonStop system to support the workload required by your
application and to achieve optimum response times for your business transactions.
Figure 1-2 on page 1-9 shows a single PATHMON environment distributed over two
CPUs in a system.
You can distribute functions over different physical or geographical locations by
distributing a single PATHMON environment across a network of nodes connected by
communications lines, or by configuring two or more PATHMON environments to
communicate across such a network. In such distributed environments, you can enable
TCPs on one node to access a database maintained by server processes on another
node. This configuration allows multiple applications on different nodes to share data.
Figure 1-3 on page 1-10 shows two PATHMON environments distributed over two
nodes. A TCP in node \NODEA forms a link across a communications line to a server
class controlled by the PATHMON process on \NODEB. The TCP is an external TCP
with respect to the objects controlled by $PMB.
