Naming Guidelines for Applications
By convention, HP uses names beginning with the letter Z (lowercase z in the C
language) for all definitions and all component fields of structures in its definition files.
To avoid present and future conflicts with names defined by HP, it is best not to begin
any of your own names with uppercase or lowercase Z.
Programming Considerations for Specific
Object Types
These paragraphs discuss special programming considerations for each TS/MP object
type.
PATHMON and PATHWAY Objects
When developing a management application that defines the PATHMON process and
Pathway configurations and controls basic Pathway operations, consider:
•
The ZPWY-CMD-START command with the ZPWY-OBJ-PATHWAY object is
equivalent to using the SET PATHWAY, SET PATHMON, and START PATHWAY
commands in PATHCOM.
•
The INFO PATHCTL command allows the SPI requester to query the current state
of the PATHCTL configuration file before starting the system. Querying before
startup permits the SPI requester to implement the interactive warning PATHCOM
issues during startup when the PATHCTL file is not in the normal startup state.
•
To implement the equivalent of the PATHCOM PRIMARY PATHMON command,
follow these steps:
1. Use LOOKUPPROCESSNAME to find the CPU in which the PATHMON
process is running.
2. Use the INFO PATHMON command to determine the CPU configured for the
PATHMON process.
