Configuring TERM Objects
number of transactions per hour or the number of I/O operations per hour that the
terminal generates.
You can use the following formula to define initial WEIGHT values for your TERM
objects based on collected TERM object statistics and configuration information.
Terminal weight = ( 4096(CC/CA)+(CD/DA) ) + (24576(A+D+S) /
Τ
Σ
(ι =1)
(A

where the variables are as follows:
If no value is specified for WEIGHT, a default value is used. If all terminals use the
default value, PXMCFG assigns the maximum number of TERM objects to TCP
processes without exceeding the limits set in your configuration (including the
MAXWEIGHTS value for the TCP template).
Defining Terminal Groups
The GROUP attribute allows you to define a group of terminals to be referred to by a
single name. If you have defined terminals groups in your configuration, you can later
operate on or display information about an entire group of terminals with a single
PXMCOM command by specifying the group name instead of the object name.
For example, you could issue the following commands to define three terminals as
members of a group called INQUIRY:
SET TERM GROUP INQUIRY
SET TERM INITIAL MAINMENU
SET TERM TCP MAINOFC
ADD TERM TERM-1, FILE $T001
ADD TERM TERM-8, FILE $T008
ADD TERM TERM-22, FILE $T022
After your Pathway/XM environment is configured and started, you can then issue a
single START command to start all three terminals:
= START TERM GROUP INQUIRY
