About This Manual
This manual is both a task-oriented and a reference manual.  It gives instructions and 
guidelines for configuring and managing objects in the Compaq NonStop™ 
Pathway/XM environment using the PXMCFG, PXMCHK, and PXMCOM utilities. It 
also provides syntax and complete descriptions of all PXMCFG statements and 
PXMCOM commands and gives cause, effect, and recovery information for all 
messages returned by these utilities.
Who Should Read This Manual
This manual provides all the information that system managers and operators normally 
need to configure and manage the Pathway/XM environment. However, when 
performing detailed troubleshooting, you might need to refer to the manuals for the 
underlying Compaq NonStop™ TS/MP or Compaq NonStop™ Pathway/iTS software.
Related Documentation
Pathway/XM is a release-independent product that can be used with several different 
releases of the Compaq NonStop
TM
 Kernel operating system. Because the manual sets 
for the related transaction processing products have undergone some reorganization 
since the D32.00 release, the related manuals you should use depend on the underlying 
release you are using.
