PATHTCP2
PATHTCP2. The TCP object file, usually identified by the file name
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.PATHTCP2.
PATHTCPL. The TCP user library object file.
Pathway application. A set of programs that perform online transaction processing tasks in
the Guardian environment, using interfaces defined by Tandem. A Pathway application
can include SCREEN COBOL requesters, Pathsend requesters, and Pathway servers
running on Tandem NonStop systems. It can also include GDSX front-end processes and
clients that use RSC or POET. See also NonStop TUXEDO application.
Pathway application development environment. A set of tools supporting the development
of applications for the Pathway transaction processing environment. Depending on the
customer’s needs and software configuration, this set of tools could include the
SCREEN COBOL compiler and the SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP), the
POET application development tools, the Pathmaker product, and various tools from
Tandem Alliance partners. See also Pathway transaction processing environment.
Pathway environment. See Pathway transaction processing environment.
Pathway management programming interface. A set of programmatic commands that
allow users to write management application programs that communicate directly with
the PATHMON process for configuration and management. This interface is based on
the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) within the Distributed Systems
Management (DSM) software. Programmatic commands communicating with the
PATHMON process use the Pathway subsystem ID. See also Pathway subsystem and
subsystem ID.
Pathway monitor process. See PATHMON process.
Pathway object. An object in the Pathway transaction processing environment. The set of
Pathway objects is a more inclusive set than the set of PATHMON-controlled objects:
for example, a LINKMON process is a Pathway object but not a PATHMON-controlled
object. See also object, PATHMON-controlled object, and Pathway transaction
processing environment.
Pathway Open Environment Toolkit (POET). A set of programs and utilities that helps
programmers create and run client/transaction server applications. In the POET
environment, the client is a program running on a workstation, and the server is a
Pathway server running on a Tandem NonStop system. POET uses the services of the
Remote Server Call (RSC) product. The programming tools provided by POET include
a simplified programming interface, name mapping, and conversion mapping.
Pathway server. A server process or program in the Pathway transaction processing
environment. See also NonStop TUXEDO server.
