Starting PXMCFG
Starting PXMCFG
PXMCFG is the batch process that processes configuration statements and generates the
Pathway/XM environment configuration used by the PXMCOM process. The name of
the PXMCFG object file is $volume.subvolume.PXMCFG.
Start a PXMCFG process by entering the PXMCFG RUN command through the TACL
command interpreter and specifying a SuperCTL configuration file name.
run-option
is one of the TACL RUN [D] command run options.
IN command-file
specifies a file from which PXMCFG statements are read to establish
characteristics for the Pathway/XM objects. PXMCFG reads 132-byte records
from the specified file until an end-of-file character is encountered.
If you omit this parameter, input is taken from the current TACL input file; this
file is typically the home terminal.
OUT list-file
specifies a file to which all PXMCFG responses are written. The file must be
either an EDIT file or an unstructured format file. If responses are written to a
key-sequenced, relative, or entry-sequenced file, the Pathway/XM configuration
fails and the PXMCFG process eventually abends.
If you specify a disk file name that already exists, the PXMCFG response is
appended to the existing file. If you specify a disk file and the file does not exist,
an EDIT file is created.
If you specify a line printer or a process, a page eject is performed when the file
is opened. A page eject is not performed before the file is closed.
If you specify a magnetic tape, two consecutive file marks are written just
before the file is closed.
If you omit this parameter, output is directed to the current TACL output file;
this is typically the home terminal.
