Starting TRANSFER in a
Mixed PATHWAY System
To start the TRANSFER system in a mixed PATHWAY system, you mimic the
functions of the XCOOL TACL macro. You cannot use the XCOOL macro because it
attempts to start a separate PATHWAY system.
The XCOOL macro executes the GxxCOOL PATHCOM obey files and initializes the
depot statistics facility if it is configured. You start your TRANSFER system by doing
the following:
1. Before you execute the GxxCOOL obey files, you must run the SPREP program.
SPREP sets configuration information that checks whether depot statistic are
enabled and keeps track of configuration changes that affect depot statistics.
a. Create an obey file, abc, that contains the following commands:
PATHCOM $pm; START A-BASE-TEXT; START A-NAME; EXIT
where $pm is the PATHMON process name of your existing PATHWAY
system.
The SPREP program requires the Text server and Name server to be running.
b. Set the following TACL ASSIGNs and PARAMs:
2> PARAM SPREPMODE 1
3> PARAM TIMEWASRESET Y
4> PARAM NAMESPACE $T.CORR
5> ASSIGN TEXTSRV, $ZTXT
The above values are defaults. If you have not taken defaults when
configuring your TRANSFER system, you must replace the following:
Replace $T with your Name server process (TRNameServName parameter
in your DEFINETR file).
Replace CORR with your correspondent directory name (TRCorrDirectory
parameter in your DEFINETR file).
Replace $ZTXT with your text server process name (TRTextServName
parameter in your DEFINETR file).
c. Execute your obey file, abc:
6> OBEY abc
d. Run SPREP:
7> RUN $DSV.ZTRANSFR.SPREP /OUT $S.#SPREP/
If the spooler output does not show any errors from SPREP, you are ready to
start the remaining TRANSFER objects.
