SET SERVER Command
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
MAXSERVERS number
specifies the maximum number of server processes in this server class that can
run at the same time.
number must be a value from 0 through 4095. If you omit this attribute, the default
is 1.
If MAXSERVERS is greater than the number of server process names that you
define with the PROCESS attribute, the operating system assigns process names
in the form $Xnnn, $Ynnn, or $Znnn after the last predefined process name is
used.
The sum of all MAXSERVERS values for all server classes cannot exceed the
number defined in the SET PATHWAY MAXSERVERPROCESSES attribute.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
NUMSTATIC number
specifies the maximum number of static servers within this server class. These
servers can be started using the START SERVER command or as a result of a link
request. These servers remain running until a STOP SERVER command is issued
or all of their links are returned by link managers (that is, TCPs or LINKMON
processes).
number must be a value from 0 through 4095. If you omit this attribute, the default
is 0 (that is, all servers are dynamic). The PATHMON process does not create a
server until it receives a link request from a TCP or LINKMON process. When
NUMSTATIC is 0, the first link to a server class counts as a static link in the
STATS command display.
The number for MAXSERVERS minus the number for NUMSTATIC is the number
of dynamic servers for the server class. Links to dynamic servers are granted to a
TCP or LINKMON process by the PATHMON process when a link request cannot
be satisfied by a static server. Dynamic server processes are started by the
PATHMON process only as the result of a link request; they are not started by the
START SERVER command.
The value of NUMSTATIC cannot exceed the value of MAXSERVERS.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
OUT file-name
specifies the name of the OUT file in the startup message; this could be a DEFINE
name.
Defaults for file name expansion are based on values you specify for the CMDVOL
command and the SET PATHWAY NODEINDEPENDENT attribute. See the
