RSC/MP Installation and Configuration Guide

Configuring the RSC/MP Client Starting the RSC/MP Transport Manager (Pipeman)
Starting the RSC/MP Transport Manager (Pipeman)
The PIPEMAN process must be running in order for RSC/MP clients to operate
correctly. PIPEMAN must be started in one of the following three ways:
1. When RSC/MP is installed as a service, PIPEMAN will be started automatically
when the RSC Service starts. The RSC Service can be configured to start
automatically at system startup, as described in Section 4, Installing RSC/MP on
Windows Workstations.
2. Piccolo can be configured for automatic startup by including an AutoStart setting in
the Piccolo configuration file, as described in Section 5, Configuring the RSC/MP
Transport (Piccolo).
3. Piccolo can be started by using the PIPECP utility, as outlined below. This can be
done manually, or as part of a local startup sequence (for example, through an icon
in the "Startup" programs group in Windows).
To start the Pipeman process, enter:
PIPECP START
To test the transport configuration, enter:
PIPECP CONNECT hostname
where hostname is the SystemName in the PIPEINI file on the host system.
This command will reply with either a message, ―Attempting connection ... connection
succeeded.‖ or an error code indicating why the connect attempt failed.
Configuring the RSC/MP I/O Manager Process (RSCPIPE)
The RSCPIPE process includes extended functionality for diagnostic logging, window
control, and migration. This extended functionality is enabled by command line
parameters, that are provided during either an RSC/MP API-controlled or a user-
controlled startup of the RSCPIPE process.
An RSCPIPE process is started by the RSC/MP API when an RSC/MP application
issues the first RscConnect call and the RSC/MP API determines RSCPIPE is not
running. When RSCPIPE is started by the RSC/MP API, command line parameters are
evaluated from the SUBSYSTEM_CMDLINE option in the RSC.INI file.
You can initiate an RSCPIPE process, either during system startup or from a command
line prompt.
Note. RSCPIPE requires PIPEMAN. When attempting a user-controlled startup of the
RSCPIPE process, be sure that PIPEMAN is already running or that Piccolo is configured for
automatic startup as described in Section 4, Installing RSC/MP on Windows Workstations.
