Design Considerations
Use CANCEL or CANCELREQ only if it is unimportant for the application to
monitor whether or not the command was performed.
•
Pathway subsystems do not support the ALLOW-TYPE token or the RESPONSE-
TYPE token.
•
The PATHCOM MAXSPI parameter, which you set during the Pathway subsystem
startup and you can change only by stopping the Pathway subsystem, establishes
the maximum number of user-written processes that can simultaneously open an
interface to a Pathway subsystem. In the management programming interface,
ZMAXSPI is a field in the ZPWY-DDL-DEF-PATHWAY data structure.
The value you give for ZMAXSPI can range from 1 through 100. Until the Pathway
subsystem is started, only one process using SPI or one PATHCOM process can
open the PATHMON process.
•
Security is implemented for specific groups of commands and is described under
Security on page 3-24. For information about implementing security for access to
the PATHMON process, see the Safeguard Reference Manual.
•
SPI and the NonStop subsystems that support it are designed so that, under most
circumstances, you can install a new release of HP NonStop software on any one
of your systems without changing your existing management applications.
