Starting TCPs
Because the asterisk option slows processing, a more efficient way to start all objects
is to use an command file in which all the objects are named. Use the asterisk option if
no command file is available.
If an object is already running when you issue the START command, the PATHMON
process displays an error message and makes no attempt to start the object.
Starting TCPs
To start a TCP process, a set of TCPs, or all TCPs under the control of a given
PATHMON process, use the START TCP command.
For example, the following command starts the TCP process named TCP-PRIME:
= START TCP TCP-PRIME
The next command starts the TCPs named TCP-1 and TCP-2:
= START TCP (TCP-1, TCP-2)
The next command starts all defined TCPs:
= START TCP *
To start a TCP, the PATHMON process creates the TCP process by running the
program file indicated by the PROGRAM attribute of the TCP object, as recorded in the
PATHMON configuration file. This attribute specifies the name of the file that contains
the TCP’s object code. The PATHMON process then passes the TCP definition to the
TCP process. The TCP uses the information in the TCP definition to initialize itself and
start its backup process in the designated CPU.
Starting TERM Objects
To start a TERM object, a set of TERM objects, or all TERM objects under the control
of a given PATHMON process, use the START TERM command.
For example, the following command starts the TERM named TERM-001:
= START TERM TERM-001
The next command starts the TERM objects named TERM-002 and TERM-003:
= START TERM (TERM-002, TERM-003)
The next command starts all TERM objects under the control of
TCP-1 that are not running:
= START TERM *, TCP TCP-1, STATE NOT RUNNING
The next command starts all TERM objects defined in the PATHMON configuration file:
= START TERM *
After reading the TERM definition from the PATHMON configuration file, the
PATHMON process passes the TERM definition to the TCP process specified by the
TCP attribute in this definition. When the TCP receives this information, it:
