Overview The Queue Manager comprises two servers and a file, which can be installed,
redefined, or moved using procedures described in this section. The servers are the
Entry Manager and the Wait Manager. The record file is the Queue file.
Queue Manager requires that TMF also be installed on the system. Queue Manager
and TMF can be installed on any Tandem hardware that has both GUARDIAN 90 and
TACL.
If you are installing Queue Manager as part of a TRANSFER configuration, refer to the
TRANSFER Installation and Management Guide for information on TRANSFER
installation procedures.
Installation Steps Tandem provides software for configuring Queue Manager as part of a PATHWAY
application. However, the Queue Manager installation procedures do not provide for
the creation of a PATHWAY application in which to run Queue Manager. If you plan
to create a new PATHWAY application for Queue Manager, refer to the PATHWAY
Management Programming Manual and the PATHWAY Application Programmer’s Guide.
The steps below outline the installation procedure. If you do not want to use
PATHWAY with Queue Manager, or if some other circumstance precludes using the
Tandem installation files, you can follow steps 1 through 4 to initialize the system and
then configure Queue Manager as you wish by performing the ASSIGN and PARAM
commands yourself at the TACL prompt. Examples of installing Queue Manager with
and without PATHWAY are given at the end of this section.
To install and run Queue Manager, you need user-DSV subvolumes containing files
Tandem provides and a configuration subvolume. The following is a summary of the
steps required to install Queue Manager:
1. Configure TMF if it is not already configured on the system on which Queue
Manager is to be installed.
2. Run the system installation program INSTALL to move the product files from the
site update tape (SUT) distribution subvolume (DSV) to the installation subvolume
(ISV) on your system. Included on the DSV are the PQDEFLTS file and CDPQDEF
files used to install Queue Manager.
Copy the files needed for a user distribution subvolume, or user-DSV.
3. Edit the defaults file — PQDEFLTS — to provide the system description to be used
in defining, initializing, and configuring the system.
4. Define Queue Manager by running the CDPQDEF definition program. CDPQDEF
uses the system descriptions provided in PQDEFLTS.
5. Initialize Queue Manager by executing the GPQINIT OBEY file generated by the
CDPQDEF program.
6. Configure Queue Manager using the GPQCNFG file, also generated by
CDPQDEF, to set the Queue Manager servers for your PATHWAY system.
