Configuring Server Classes for Import (SERVICE
objects)
When you configure a dummy server class, you must specify the NODE and NONSTOP
attributes, because they are required for distributed server classes. (For a distributed
server class, you must set the NONSTOP attribute to 0.) You must also specify the
following attributes through PXMCFG if you want to specify them, because these
attributes cannot be assigned with a CONTROL SERVER command:
AUTORESTART
CMON
DEBUG
GROUP
HIGHPIN
OWNER
SECURITY
TIMEOUT
TMF
VOLUME
For example, the following sequence of PXMCFG statements defines a SERVER object
for a dummy server class and then adds it under the server-class name
NEWORDER-SRV:
RESET SERVER
SET SERVER NODE SERVER-2
SET SERVER GROUP ORDERS
SET SERVER GROUP TUESDAY
SET SERVER CMON ON
SET SERVER HIGHPIN ON
SET SERVER NONSTOP 0
SET SERVER TMF ON
ADD SERVER NEWORDER-SRV
Configuring Server Classes for Import (SERVICE
objects)
The SERVICE object is a pseudo-object; it represents a set of SERVER objects that
have been pre-defined (either by you or by a third party) to be imported into your
configuration (for example, to support a third-party application).
To import SERVER object definitions, configure and add a SERVICE object to your
current configuration. When the PXMCFG utility processes an ADD SERVICE
statement, it automatically imports the named set of a server class definitions into your
current configuration. PXMCFG uses the SERVICE object configuration statement to
determine which NODE object and which server groups the servers in the imported
server classes are associated with. In addition, the SERVICE object can also define
default names to be used for various SERVER object variables (such as file names or
process names) ; these default names override the defaults originally specified in the
imported SERVER object definitions.
