Defining Attributes
PRI specifies the priority at which TCPs run. You should coordinate with the
system manager for your PATHMON environment when setting this attribute, to
ensure that TCP priorities are compatible with priorities set for server classes.
In general, priorities should facilitate the completion of work over the arrival of
work. Usually, this means that server classes should have a higher priority than
TCP objects. If there are multiple server classes in a transaction path, however,
and the SCREEN COBOL code is simple, continuing a transaction with multiple
server classes might mean waiting for TCP availability.
For a detailed description of all the SET TCP attributes, see Section 9, Terminal
Control Process (TCP) Commands.
For example, suppose that you want to define and add a TCP named TCP-PRIME,
whose primary process runs in CPU 1 and whose backup process runs in CPU 0. The
TCP runs at a high PIN. To locate its screen programs, the TCP must search a
directory named $DATA.APPLIC.POBJ. This TCP can open maximums of 50 TERM
objects, 5 server classes, and 25 server processes across the 5 server classes.
You can define and add this TCP by entering these commands:
= SET TCP CPUS 1:0
= SET TCP HIGHPIN ON
= SET TCP MAXTERMS 50
= SET TCP TCLPROG $DATA.APPLIC.POBJ
= SET TCP MAXSERVERCLASSES 5
= SET TCP MAXSERVERPROCESSES 25
= ADD TCP TCP-PRIME
As another example, suppose that you want to define and add a TCP named TCP-
WEB, whose primary process runs in CPU 5 and whose backup process runs in CPU
4. To locate its screen programs, the TCP must search a directory named
$DATA.WEBCONN.GWAY, which contains the GWAY program provided as part of
Pathway/iTS. This TCP can open a maximum of 100 TERM objects.
= SET TCP CPUS 5:4
= SET TCP MAXTERMS 100
= SET TCP TCLPROG $DATA.WEBCONN.GWAY
= SET TCP SERVERPOOL 40000
= SET TCP TERMPOOL 200000
= SET TCP TERMBUF 32000
Note. If you are configuring a TCP for use with Pathway/iTS web clients, the gateway
requester program requires that you configure specific values for certain TCP attributes, as
follows:
SERVERPOOL 40000
TERMPOOL 200000
TERMBUF 32000
MAXREPLY 32000
MAXTERMDATA 200000
Otherwise, gateway TERM threads may be suspended at run time.
