PXMCOM Commands
Compaq NonStop™ Pathway/XM System Management Manual—426761-001

STOP PATHWAY
Considerations
•
The STOP PATHWAY command stops all objects managed by the Pathway/XM
environment.
•
The following PXMCOM commands are disabled when the PATHMON process is
shutting down the PATHMON environment:
•
Use the ORDERLY option, for example, for epilogue processing (when the
application requires the server process to write out totals before stopping).
•
The ABORT option allows send operations to complete, but work does not
necessarily stop on transaction boundaries. If it is important to your application to
complete outstanding transactions, use the ORDERLY option. The ABORT option,
like the ORDERLY option, enables epilogue processing to complete before the
server process is stopped.
•
Upon successful completion of the shutdown process, the PATHMON process is
stopped.
Examples
The following command stops all objects managed by Pathway/XM. The PXMCOM
process is suspended until the shutdown request completes:
STOP PATHWAY, MODE IMMEDIATE
The following command causes PXMCOM to display the Pathway environment status
every 20 seconds during an orderly shutdown:
STOP PATHWAY, STATUS AGGREGATE
The following command returns control to the PXMCOM process in 30 seconds or
earlier if the shutdown completes, or, if the shutdown has not completed, after 30
seconds have passed:
STOP PATHWAY, UNTIL TIMEOUT 30 SECS
