CONTROL SERVER
The number for MAXSERVERS minus the number for NUMSTATIC is the number
of dynamic servers for the server class. Links to dynamic servers are granted to a
link manager by the PATHMON process when a link request cannot be satisfied by
a static server. Dynamic 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.
PARAM parameter-name parameter-value
assigns a string value to a parameter name. You can omit the parentheses if this
parameter is the last one of the command.
parameter-name
specifies the name to which you assign parameter-value. The name must
begin with an alphabetic character.
parameter-value
specifies a character string value that you assign to parameter-name. This
string must be enclosed in quotation marks if you include blanks, commas, or
quotation marks in the value. Embedded quotation marks must be doubled.
The PATHMON process uses the information you supply for this parameter to send
a PARAM message to each server that it starts. No more than 120 PARAM
messages can be added to any one server class. In practice, the actual number may
be less because all individual PARAMs for a server are collected into a single
PARAM message, limited in length to 1028 bytes.
PRI priority
specifies the execution priority at which the servers of this server class run.
priority can be a value from 1 through 199.
PROGRAM file-name
specifies the Guardian file name of the object file to be used by the server processes
in this server class. PXMCOM validates the file name when the SET SERVER
command is issued.
Note. No new PARAM names can be defined using the CONTROL command; they
can only be changed.
