SET ROUTER
CONNECTIONS number
specifies the number of TERM objects to be used to process socket connections.
Each TERM object can process one concurrent socket connection. The ROUTER
object may have a maximum of five connection requests waiting for a TERM object
to become available. When all TERM objects are busy, the sixth connection request
waiting is rejected.
number is from 1 through 32767; the default is 1.
GROUP group-name
specifies a name for the set of TERM objects associated with this router. group-
name must be from 1 through 15 alphanumeric or hyphen (-) characters, must begin
with a letter, and must be unique within the Pathway/XM environment.
WEIGHT weight-number
specifies the estimated relative amount of work generated by terminals handled by
this ROUTER object. For example, this number might indicate the number of
transactions per hour generated by these terminals.
The range for
weight-number is from 1 through 32767; default is 1. If all
terminals use the default value, PXMCFG assigns the maximum number of TERM
objects to the TCP processes without exceeding the system limits.
INITIAL program-unit-name
specifies the name of the SCREEN COBOL program unit that the TCP process
enters when when a TERM object is started. The program unit is specified in the
SCREEN COBOL PROGRAM-ID sentence.
NONSTOP { ON | OFF }
specifies whether the router process runs as a process pair. The default is OFF.
If the value is set to ON and the primary router process fails, the backup router
process takes over and maintains the queue of client connection requests and the
queue of terminal connection requests. It also maintains the load balancing function.
If the value is set to OFF and the router process fails, the client and terminal
connection request queues are terminated. Connection requests must wait until the
router process is restarted.
INSPECT { ON [ ( FILE file-name ) ] | OFF }
specifies whether you can use the Inspect program to examine the SCREEN
COBOL programs running on the terminals handled by the router process. The SET
TCP INSPECT attribute also must be set to ON.
Note. Although you can specify a new or an existing GROUP name, Compaq
recommends that you specify a new name for easier management of all the terminals
associated with this router.
