Maintaining Pathway/iTS Objects

System Maintenance Tasks

This section describes operations you need to perform on a regular basis to maintain

TCP, TERM, and PROGRAM objects in a PATHMON environment. Tasks you must

perform regularly include the following:

•

Monitor status and performance by displaying information about your PATHMON

environment and its objects

•

Reconfigure, when necessary, to accommodate new application requirements, new

users, and so on

•

Manage exception conditions when and if they occur

For information on monitoring and maintaining your overall PATHMON environment,

see the TS/MP System Management Manual.

Displaying Information About Pathway/iTS

Objects

The PATHMON process maintains information about object configurations, object

status, and operation statistics.

You can display this information using these commands:

•

INFO command

•

STATUS command

•

STATS command

You use the STATUS command to determine the state of a PATHMON environment

and its objects: running, stopped, suspended, and so on. You use the INFO command

to display the current configuration of a PATHMON environment and PATHMON-

controlled objects. You use the STATS command to check statistics about TCP, TERM,

and SERVER resources.

For all of these commands, you can direct the display output to a text file by including

the OUT option in your command. For example, this command directs output to the

text file named JUNE95:

= INFO /OUT JUNE95/ PATHWAY

With the INFO command, you can use the OBEYFORM option to capture a

configuration for use in future start operations. (For a discussion of the OBEYFORM

option, see the TS/MP System Management Manual.)
