Object Types

All commands and responses contain an object-type token in the header. For the

Pathway subsystem, object types are identified in programs by symbolic names of the

form ZPWY-OBJ-name, where name identifies the object type. For example, the PM

object type is represented by the name ZPWY-OBJ-PM. The object-type header token,

ZSPI-TKN-OBJECT-TYPE, always has one of these names.

For TS/MP commands, the Pathway subsystem supports the programmatic objects

listed in Table 3-2.

Table 3-2. TS/MP Object Types (page 1 of 2)

Object Type Description

LINKMON Object

ZPWY-OBJ-LM A LINKMON process.

PATHWAY Objects

ZPWY-OBJ-PATHCTL The PATHMON configuration file.

ZPWY-OBJ-PATHWAY The Pathway subsystem (that is, a single PATHMON

process and all objects controlled by that process).

PATHMON Objects

ZPWY-OBJ-PM The PATHMON process that controls the Pathway

subsystem.

ZPWY-OBJ-

PMREQUESTER

A single requester of a PATHMON process. The requester

can be a PATHCOM process, an SPI process, a

Pathway/iTS terminal control process (TCP), or other

requesters described in the STATUS PMREQUESTER

command.

Server Class Objects

ZPWY-OBJ-SC A server class, which is a group of server processes that

perform a specific type of work. All processes within a

server class run copies of the same server program. A

server class can contain either Guardian processes or

NonStop Open System Services (OSS) processes, but it

cannot contain both in the same server class.

ZPWY-OBJ-SCASSIGN An ASSIGN associated with a server class. This object

allows you to assign a logical file name associated with a

physical file to a server program. This object type is the

same as the ASSIGN parameter in PATHCOM SERVER

object commands.

ZPWY-OBJ-SCDEFINE A DEFINE associated with a server class. This object type

is the same as the DEFINE parameter in the PATHCOM

SERVER object commands.

ZPWY-OBJ-SCLM A LINKMON process linked to a server class.
