Setting Up and Running APS

4. After SNAX/APC has completed the execution of the verb request, APS displays the

verb reply in the reply fields. Examine the reply fields to determine whether or not

the verb executed successfully.

Repeat these steps for each verb that you want to execute.

Setting Up and Running APS

APS is a SCREEN COBOL program and must run in a PATHMON environment under

the control of a terminal control process (TCP). You can set up the PATHMON

environment for APS in one of two ways: you can enter the PATHCOM commands to

set up the PATHMON environment yourself, or you can use the APCRUN utility. Each

method is explained below.

Setting Up the PATHMON Environment Yourself

Setting up a PATHMON environment for APS is the same as setting up a PATHMON

environment for SNAX/APC except that you must also set up the APS program and the

APS-SRV server (the hexadecimal editor).

APS is usually set up as a program in a PATHMON environment. The following

example shows the PATHCOM commands used to set up APS:

SET PROGRAM TCP SNAXAPC-TCP

SET PROGRAM TYPE T16-6520 INITIAL APS

SET PROGRAM TMF OFF

SET PROGRAM ERROR-ABORT OFF

SET PROGRAM PRINTER $S.#APS

ADD PROGRAM APS

In addition to APS, you must also set up the APS-SRV server, which is the hexadecimal

editor for APS. The following example shows the PATHCOM commands used to set up

APS-SRV:

RESET SERVER

SET SERVER PROCESS $HEX

SET SERVER PROGRAM APCHEX

SET SERVER LINKDEPTH 101

SET SERVER CPUS 0:1

SET SERVER NUMSTATIC 1

SET SERVER MAXSERVERS 1

ADD SERVER APS-SRV

For complete information on how to define programs and servers in a PATHMON

environment, see the NonStop TS/MP and Pathway System Management Guide and the

NonStop TS/MP and Pathway Management Reference Manual.

Using APCRUN to Set Up the PATHMON Environment

Instead of entering the PATHCOM commands yourself, you can use the APCRUN

utility to automatically set up the PATHMON environment for SNAX/APC and APS.
