SCUP-Specific Problems
•
All copy libraries referenced in the source file or files.
•
If applicable, a compiler listing showing the problem.
•
Error messages written to the terminal but not included in the compiler listing.
SCUP-Specific Problems
If you detect a problem with SCUP, collect the relevant object code (POBJ) files for
review.
Keeping Development and Production
Separate
It is recommended that you do not mix your development and production
environments. Ideally, you should have separate PATHMON environments for your
development and production environments.
If you do not maintain separate environments, you might jeopardize the availability of
your production environment. For example, suppose there are problems with a
Guardian server that indicate the developer must use the HP Inspect symbolic
debugger to debug the server. During this time, the server is unavailable, and any
processes attempting to establish links to the sever could encounter an unacceptable
delay. Similarly, a TCP that handles both production and development SCREEN
COBOL requesters might not be able to respond to a user if a developer is making
changes based on development requirements.
If you cannot maintain totally separate development and production environments, try
to keep as much of your production environment separate as you can. It is highly
recommended that you maintain separate sets of development and production server
classes. It is also desirable to define separate TCPs for development and production.
Certain types of errors, such as timeout errors, can also be returned to requesters
when the associated servers in a Pathway application are being debugged. For further
information about these errors, see the section on servers in the TS/MP Pathsend and
Server Programming Manual.
Sending Messages to Users
You can send messages to application users using the TELL TERM command. These
messages can contain any kind of information, ranging from informative text to urgent
requests.
(TELL TERM is a PATHCOM command. For more information on using PATHCOM
commands to manage your PATHMON environment, see the TS/MP System
Management Manual.)
