Table D-1.  Option Definitions  (page 3 of 5) 
Option   Definition 
PATHMON_NAME  For Interprocess sessions, the default PATHMON to use 
for PATHSEND access on this workstation. When this 
value is not supplied, the default value $RSCP is used. 
For IDS sessions, the default PATHMON to use on this 
workstation. When used, the value overrides the 
IDSPATHMON attribute value for the TERM object. When 
this value is not supplied and a value is not defined in the 
IDSPATHMON attribute of the TERM object, the default 
value $RSCP is used. 
PATHTERM_NAME  For IDS session types, the name of the TERM object 
started by Pathway/TS. 
PICCOLO_KEEPALIVE  The number of seconds between attempts by Piccolo to 
verify that a connection remains active. The value can be 
from 0 (disabled) to 3600 seconds (1 hour). Low values 
for PICCOLO_KEEPALIVE can burden networks with 
verification messages. The default is 3600 (1 hour). 
SESSION_ALIAS  A name describing a session that receives unsolicited 
messages from a TDP. The name must be unique for a 
TERM object; therefore, it is recommended that you do 
not put this option in RSC.INI. 
SETMODE_30  Controls whether SETMODE 30 on the NonStop host is 
directly called when the TDP opens a Guardian process 
server using the RSC_ST_INTERPROCESS session 
type. See the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference 
Manual for a description of SETMODE 30. 
By setting this option to a nonzero value before the first 
RscWrite or RscWriteRead call to a server, the application 
can cause the TDP to issue a SETMODE_30 call to the 
server with the param1 value set to 1. The default value is 
0. 
Adding this option to the RSC.INI file or setting it using 
RscSetOption allows multiple, nowaited WRITEREAD 
operations from the TDP to the server to complete in any 
order. Without this option, the server cannot complete any 
WRITEREAD operations until the server responds to the 
first one. 
SUBSYSTEM_CMDLINE  A character string that contains the command line options 
to be passed to RSCPIPE during auto startup. Double 
quotes (") must surround the string. The maximum length 
of the string is 256 characters. 
SUBSYSTEM_NAME  Logical name of the RSCPIPE subsys tem. The 
recommended setting is RSCPIPE. Required option.
