In addition, define TISERV servers as STATIC servers so that the load on the
servers is evenly distributed. In the DEFINETR file, the value you provide for the
parameter TRTiservNumStatic determines the number of static TISERV server
processes in the TISERV server class. (You must change the DEFINETR file and
rerun the CDTRDEF and other CDxxDEF and XCNFG programs, as described in
Section 8, “Redefining a TRANSFER System.”) You can also change the parameter
interactively using the PATHCOM ALTER SERVER command. If you do this, you
must freeze and stop TISERV first.

If you are using a screen application other than a SCREEN COBOL application—
such as PS MAIL TTY—check the number of users to see that you have sufficient
TISERVs configured for the application, using the GUARDIAN 90 command:
1> STATUS *, prog < filename >
For PS MAIL TTY, check the TTY-TISERV server class. To ensure that the number
of requesters for any TISERV server class does not exceed six (the default
maximum is eight), set the PARAM MAXLINKS (not the PATHWAY MAXLINKS
option) to 6 for that server class.
The PATHWAY PATHCOM Reference Manual explains the PATHCOM STATUS
and INFO commands.
Check the G-FILE server.
If you are using one of the PS MAIL products, apply the same checks as those
described in the preceding paragraphs for the TISERV servers to the G-FILE and
TTY-G-FILE server classes.
Make sure that the TISERV priority is compatible with other process priorities.
Section 5, “Defining a TRANSFER System,” discusses assigning priorities.
