Starting SNAX/APC
The SCF TRACE command may overwrite any setting established with this
parameter.
TRACEPAGES number
specifies the maximum number of 2048-byte pages that the SNAX/APC process can
use for tracing. When this data area is full, the server starts to overwrite data at the
beginning of the data area. Allowable values are from 5 to 32,767; the default is
300. Note that the physical disk space must be available for the TRACEPAGES
value that you choose.
The SCF TRACE command may overwrite any setting established with this
parameter.
Starting SNAX/APC
You can run SNAX/APC with or without PATHMON control. It is not necessary to use
the PATHMON process to run SNAX/APC unless your application uses the Dispatcher.
The SNAX/APC Dispatcher is configured as one or more Pathway (or Pathway/TS)
logical terminals. The number of Dispatchers typically should match the total number
of concurrent conversations required.
Under PATHMON control, you use either the APCRUN TACL macro or PATHMON
configuration files to define the PATHMON environment and PATHCOM commands to
start SNAX/APC. Without PATHMON control, use TACL PARAM commands to
describe configuration values and the RUN command to start SNAX/APC.
Using APCRUN to Set Up the PATHMON Environment
This subsection describes how to use the APCRUN TACL macro to define a PATHMON
environment for SNAX/APC. You can also define a PATHMON environment for
SNAX/APC, using PATHCOM commands.
You use the APCRUN TACL macro to define a PATHMON environment for
SNAX/APC. The APCRUN macro sets up the SNAX/APC processes, the TCP,
SNAX/APC APS, and, optionally, SNAX/APC dispatchers. After running APCRUN,
you need to manually define your TPs using PATHCOM commands. The syntax of the
APCRUN macro is shown below.
