Configuring an Agent That Is a PATHWAY Server
Many users write agents in languages other than SCREEN COBOL to take advantage
of different functionalities available in other programming languages. These agents
are PATHWAY servers and are installed as follows.
1. Add SET SERVER and ADD SERVER commands to your CUSTCNFG file on the
configuration subvolume before running XCNFG to put all your system
components together. Here is a sample set of commands:
RESET SERVER
SET SERVER AUTORESTART 3
SET SERVER CPUS (2:3)
SET SERVER CREATEDELAY 20 SECS
SET SERVER DEBUG OFF
SET SERVER DELETEDELAY 30 MINS
SET SERVER HOMETERM $TERM2
SET SERVER LINKDEPTH 5
SET SERVER LINKOPENS 1
SET SERVER MAXLINKS 20
SET SERVER MAXSERVERS 1
SET SERVER NUMSTATIC 1
SET SERVER PRI 150
SET SERVER PROCESS $AGNT
[ A name you invent for the server process; PATHWAY can
[ create a name, but if you use your own name, you
[ always know what name to give to INSPECT for debugging.
SET SERVER PROGRAM \SYS.$VOL.SUBVOL.AGENTO
[ Name of the object file that results from server program
[compilation
SET SERVER TMF ON
ADD SERVER DELIVERY-AGENT
[ A logical name you choose for the server
If your system is running, you can start PATHCOM and do: OBEY CUSTCNFG.
2. Start ADMIN and add the agent as described in the previous example. Use the
same name you used in the ADD SERVER command in CUSTCNFG. (In the
example, the name is DELIVERY-AGENT.) This name can be the same as the
program ID that is in the code, but it does not have to be the same.
On the ADMIN AGENT CONFIGURATION screen (which you reach by pressing
F7 to insert and configure the agent), make sure the SCREEN COBOL parameter is
N instead of Y, to indicate that this agent is a PATHWAY server class.
