SET SERVER
NONSTOP { 0 | 1 }
specifies whether server processes run with backup processes.
If you omit this attribute, the default is 1. In a single processor environment, using
the default generates an error. You can either ignore the error or set NONSTOP to 0.
NUMSTATIC number
for distributed server classes, specifies the number of server process reservations
that the LCS permanently holds for a server class. number must be a value from 0
through 4094. If you omit this attribute, the default is 0. If you specify a value of 1
or larger, number server processes are automatically started when the server class
is started. The LCS starts additional server processes as needed. If necessary,
PXMCFG adjusts the number you specify to divide evenly among the PATHMON
processes. For example, if you set NUMSTATIC to 8 and there are three PATHMON
processes, the value for NUMSTATIC is adjusted to 9.
For replicated and direct server classes the following paragraphs apply: specifies the
maximum number of server processes started within the server class, per
PATHMON process. These servers can be started using the PXMCOM START
SERVER command or as a result of a link request. These servers remain running
until a STOP SERVER command is issued or all of their links are returned by link
managers (that is, TCP processes or LINKMON processes).
number must be a value from 0 through 4094. If you omit this attribute, the default
is 0. In other words, the PATHMON process does not create a server process until it
receives a link request from a link manager. When NUMSTATIC is 0, the first link
to a server class counts as a static link in the STATS command display.
The number for MAXSERVERS minus the number for NUMSTATIC is the number
of servers for the server class. Links to servers are granted to a link manager by the
PATHMON process when a link request cannot be satisfied by an already started
server. Statis server processes are started by the PATHMON process only as the
result of a link request; they are not started by the START SERVER command.
The value of NUMSTATIC cannot exceed the value of MAXSERVERS.
OUT file-name
specifies the name of the OUT file in the startup message; this could be a DEFINE
name.
Defaults for file name expansion are based on the values of the SYSTEM and
DEFAULT attributes of the associated NODE object.
If you omit this attribute, spaces are passed to the servers for the file name.
0 The server process does not run with a backup process.
1 The server process runs with a backup process. This value is valid for direct
and replicated server classes only.
