Monitoring LINKMON Processes
For example, the following commands set the SERVER OWNER attribute to the user
ID of the super user on the system 222 or \ABC, respectively:
SET SERVER OWNER 222.255,255
SET SERVER OWNER \ABC.SUPER.SUPER
If the user ID’s system is the same as the system in which the well-known named
PATHMON process is running, you need not specify the system number or name. If
you do not specify the SERVER OWNER parameter, the default user ID is the owner ID
of the PATHMON process. (As stated in the previous subsection, this is the user ID
specified in the OWNER attribute of the PXMCFG SET PATHWAY command, or if
that attribute is not specified, the owner of the PXMCOM process that issued the
START PATHWAY command to start the Pathway/XM environment.)
The SERVER SECURITY attribute specifies the users, relative to the SERVER
OWNER, who can access a server class from a Pathsend process. You set the SERVER
SECURITY value using the Guardian security values A, G, O, -, N, C, and U.
For example, the following command enables only those Pathsend processes running
under the process ID and on the same system as the user specified by the SERVER
OWNER attribute to access the server class:
SET SERVER SECURITY "O"
“N” is the default security for the SERVER SECURITY attribute. Any Pathsend
process with the appropriate network security (described earlier in this section) can
access the server class.
Monitoring LINKMON Processes
By using PXMCOM commands, you can obtain the following information about
LINKMON processes:
•
The value of the MAXLINKMONS parameter
•
Information about LINKMON processes communicating with the well-known
named PATHMON process
•
Statistics for server classes to which LINKMON processes have links
To check the value that you defined for MAXLINKMONS and to check the number of
LINKMON processes currently accessing the well-known named PATHMON process,
use the INFO PATHWAY command, as shown in the following example:
>> INFO PATHWAY
For example, if you set MAXLINKMONS equal to 16 and there is currently one
LINKMON process that has one or more links to server classes within your
Pathway/XM environment, the INFO PATHWAY command returns the following
information for the MAXLINKMONS parameter:
MAXLINKMONS 16 [ CURRENTLY 1]
