Starting PXMCFG
CPU number
specifies the processor in which PXMCFG runs. Possible values are any CPU
on your system, from 0 through 15.
If you omit this parameter, the default is the processor used by the TACL
command interpreter.
NAME $process-name
specifies the name of the PXMCFG process. $process-name begins with a $
(dollar sign), followed by one to five alphanumeric characters; maximum of six
characters including the $. The first alphanumeric character must be a letter.
If you intend to use the PXMCFG process name across a network, $process-
name can be no longer than five characters, that is, $ (dollar sign) followed by
no more than four alphanumeric characters.
NOWAIT
specifies that the TACL command interpreter is not to wait for PXMCFG, but is
to return immediately with a command input prompt. This option is usually not
specified when a process such as PXMCFG is used interactively, but is useful
when PXMCFG is used with a source file.
PRI number
is the execution priority of the PXMCFG process.
number can be a value from 1 through 199. If you omit this parameter, the
default is a priority slightly greater than the priority of the PATHMON process.
superctl-file
specifies the name of the configuration file into which PXMCFG stores the
Pathway/XM configuration information after it successfully completes processing
the PXMCFG source file.
superctl-file can be from one to seven characters. The name specified, and the
names generated from this file name by appending the letter K to the end of the
name, must be currently not used. For example, if you specify the name SUPER, the
names SUPER and SUPERK must be currently unused file names.
This parameter is required.
Example
The following example starts a PXMCFG process named $CFG1 in CPU 2 and specifies
that it is to read and process the statements in the file CMD1, send output to the file
MSGS, with the NOWAIT option. The name of the file to contain the Pathway/XM
configuration information is
SUPRCTL:
PXMCFG /IN CMD1, OUT MSGS, CPU 2, NAME $CFG1, NOWAIT/ SUPRCTL
