Configuring Dummy Distributed Server Classes for
Future Expansion
example, you might later want to define a new server class to perform new services on
behalf of terminal requesters.
To define a dummy server class, you configure a SERVER object with the TYPE
attribute set to DISTRIBUTED and with required attributes assigned, but without
defining optional attributes (such as the PROGRAM attribute) that can be assigned later.
When you are ready to define a new distributed server class, you use the PXMCOM
CONTROL SERVER command to assign the appropriate attributes to the dummy
SERVER object, as described in Reconfiguring Distributed Server Classes Online
on
page 9-5. (You do not need to suspend the server class first if it is already in the
STOPPED or SUSPENDED state; for example, if it has never been started.)
