Support for ROUTER Objects
Support for ROUTER Objects
Before you define and add a ROUTER object, you must enable the router feature. Check
the following table; if your Pathway/XM environment is running on an operating system
release for which the router default is DISABLED, you must specify an ENABLE
ROUTER statement before the SET ROUTER statement.
Required and Optional Attributes
You use the SET ROUTER and ADD ROUTER statements to define the attributes for a
ROUTER object, name the TCP processes to which this router is to be associated, and
add it to your Pathway/XM configuration.
When you configure a ROUTER object, you must specify the following attributes:
•
PROTOCOL specifies the connection protocol used by the requester or a web client.
•
TCP specifies the name of a previously defined TCP template used to configure the
TCP processes associated with this router.
•
PORT specifies the TCP/IP port number used to connect to the user application.
•
INITIAL specifies the name of the SCREEN COBOL program unit that the TCP
process enters when when a TERM object is started.
In addition, you can specify the following optional attributes:
•
HANDLER specifies the TCP/IP process outside the Pathway/XM environment that
is used for handling socket rquests.
•
CONNECTIONS specifies the number of TERM objects to be used to process
socket connections. Each TERM object can process one concurrent socket
connection.
•
GROUP specifies the GROUP attribute name to be added to the definition of a set
of TERM objects associated with this ROUTER object.
•
WEIGHT specifies the estimated relative amount of work generated by terminals
handled by this ROUTER object.
