Parameter Description
DEBUGLOG
(None)
Specifies the file to which a debugging log is written. The log contains a copy
of some or all of the IPCs received and replied to by the servers. Control over
log entries is provided by the parameters listed in Table 4-2 and by a field in
the IPC header.
If you omit this parameter, no debugging log is written.
If this parameter refers to a disk file that does not exist, an entry-sequenced
file is created.
This parameter cannot refer to an EDIT file.
QUEUEFILE
(QUEUE)
Specifies the file (in the volume and subvolume on which the server program
resides) that contains all queue information and that is opened and used by
both servers. If the file does not exist or is nonaudited, an error message is
reported and the server abends.
WAITMANAGER
(None)
Specifies the process name of the Wait Manager that is handling wait
requests for new entries on the Queue file. This parameter is required by all
Entry Managers operating on a single Queue file. If a value is not supplied,
the Entry Manager reports an error and abends.
Following is a sample ASSIGN statement for the WMSERV server:
ASSIGN DEBUGLOG, $S.#WMSERV.DEBUGLOG
Starting the Server Process When you start the Entry Manager and the Wait Manager server programs from
outside the PATHWAY environment, both servers interpret the startup message as
follows:
The default subvolume is ignored.
The IN file-name parameter is ignored.
The OUT file-name parameter is used to write error messages that indicate a
problem in the database or in the operational environment (not in the client).
The parameter string is ignored.
Table 4-2 lists the parameters that the servers accept at startup. Unless specified
otherwise, the parameters apply to both servers.
A security violation (error 48) implies that the opening process does not have a user ID
falling within the access security of the Queue file. Either the user ID of the requesting
process or the security of the file must be changed before the process can successfully
open the server.
