Adding an Application and Terminal to a Second System
Application Example
097841 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–13
Starting the Tandem
Creator Process on \SYS2
The Tandem Creator process must be started on \SYS2 just as it was on \SYS1.
Because a password is required for the Creator process, it must be included in the
RUN command:
1> RUN CREATOR /OUT $S.#SPOOL, CPU 1, NAME $CRT, NOWAIT/ 2 ; &
CREATOR #CREATE, PASSWORD "TARDIS "
Note that this same password was specified in the SCF ADD APPL command for the
Creator process.
Updating the ESS Table
on \SYS1
To enable LU3 and LU4 to log on to the Inventory process, a logon record for this
application process must be added to the ESS table on \SYS1. This logon record
contains within its PLUNAME field the name of the Tandem Creator process on
\SYS1. It is this Creator process that will communicate with the PATHMON process
on \SYS2 and pass it the Pathway name of the application. The Pathway application
name is placed in the logon record’s CONCDATA field. Because the application
resides on a remote system, that remote system must be explicitly named in the
PATHMON specification (\SYS2.$PATHY). PROTOCOL CRT must also be specified
to override the ITI protocol specified through SCF for LU3 and LU4. Otherwise, the
two terminals would not be able to access the Inventory process, which uses CRT.
For the terminal user’s convenience, the HELP menu on \SYS1 will be modified to
reflect the existence of the new process; this requires deleting the old HELP menu and
defining a new one.
Note that the ESS table is modified dynamically through use of the DEACTIVATE
operand of SNAXUTL. Because it is an existing table, the ALLOCATE command is
omitted.
