About This Manual
This manual provides guidelines and examples for configuring and managing the
D42.00 RVU of TS/MP, which runs on HP NonStop K-series servers on D42.00 and all
subsequent D-series RVUs. This manual is one of a set of manuals that describes the
TS/MP and Pathway/iTS. The contents of these two products are as follows:
•
NonStop TS/MP: This product consists of the PATHMON process, the LINKMON
process, the PATHCOM process and interface, and the Pathsend procedure calls.
•
Pathway/iTS: This product consists of the terminal control process (TCP), the
SCREEN COBOL compiler and run-time environment, and the SCREEN COBOL
Utility Program (SCUP).
Together with the TMFand its TMF subsystem, TS/MP forms the foundation for HP’s
open transaction processing and client/server products.
The Pathway/iTS product supports requester programs that run in the Guardian
environment and communicate with terminals and intelligent devices. It requires the
services of the NonStop TS/MP product.
Purpose of This Manual
This manual is both a task-oriented manual and a reference manual. It describes how
to start, configure, and manage a PATHMON environment using the PATHCOM
interactive management interface to NonStop TS/MP. It describes TACL commands
and PATHCOM commands used to start, configure, and manage a PATHMON
controlled environment on NonStop systems. This manual also includes information on
monitoring and adjusting your PATHMON environment to optimize performance,
diagnosing and fixing problems, as well as manageability guidelines such as how to
start PATHMON-controlled objects in parallel to help performance.
It also provides syntax and complete descriptions of all PATHCOM commands and
PATHCOM, PATHMON, and LINKMON error messages.
If your environment includes Pathway/iTS, you must use this manual in conjunction
with the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual , which provides information for
configuring and controlling Pathway/iTS objects in a PATHMON environment. You
should read this manual first to get an overview of the PATHMON environment and to
find out how Pathway/iTS objects are supported.
Who Should Read This Manual
This manual is intended for those individuals responsible for starting, configuring, and
managing a PATHMON environment, using the PATHCOM interactive interface. It is
assumed that readers have a general knowledge of NonStop software programming
concepts.
