•
Section 1, Introduction to Pathway Application Programming, contains an overview
of Pathway application programming, with emphasis on Pathsend requesters and
Pathway servers.
•
Section 2, Designing Your Application, provides information about Pathway
application design, with emphasis on Pathsend requesters and Pathway servers.
•
Section 3, Writing Pathsend Requesters, describes how to write requesters that use
the Pathsend procedure calls.
•
Section 4, Writing Pathway Servers, describes how to write Pathway servers.
•
Section 5, Pathsend Procedure Call Reference, provides the syntax, parameter
descriptions, and coding considerations for the Pathsend procedure calls.
•
Section 6, Pathsend Errors, provides cause, effect, and recovery information for all
Pathsend error codes.
•
Appendix A, NonStop TS/MP Limits for Pathsend Requesters, summarizes the
limits that apply to the Pathsend programming environment.
•
