Pathway server
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 and PTP server.
Pathway subsystem. The PATHMON environment components to which SPI commands
are sent under the Pathway subsystem ID and which generate EMS event messages
with the Pathway subsystem ID. All SPI commands for the Pathway subsystem are
sent to the PATHMON process, but the processsing for the command might involve
other processes, such as a TCP. Likewise, all EMS messages from the Pathway
subsystem are generated by the PATHMON process, but the information might
originate from another process. See also subsystem ID.
Pathway system. A term formerly used for the set of objects managed by a particular
PATHMON process; now called PATHMON environment. See PATHMON
environment.
Pathway transaction processing environment. A run-time environment consisting of
Tandem’s transaction-processing products for the Guardian operating environment.
This term is often shortened to “Pathway environment.” Depending on the customer’s
needs and software configuration, the Pathway environment could include
NonStop TS/MP, the run-time portions of Pathway/TS (the TCP and the SCREEN
COBOL run-time environment), NonStop TM/MP, GDSX processes, the run-time
portion of the RSC product, the POET run-time environment, and the TRANSFER
delivery system (when used as a workflow aid in transaction processing). See also
NonStop TUXEDO transaction processing environment.
Pathway translation server for the NonStop TUXEDO system. A server process,
provided by Tandem as part of the NonStop TUXEDO product, that allows a Pathway
(SCREEN COBOL or Pathsend) requester to use the services of a NonStop TUXEDO
server. The translation server thus acts as a gateway process between the Pathway
environment and the NonStop TUXEDO environment. Requesters that use this
translation server must include special information in the header of each request
message to identify the target NonStop TUXEDO application and service.
Pathway/TS. A Tandem product that provides tools for developing and interpreting screen
programs to support OLTP applications in the Guardian environment on Tandem
NonStop systems. Pathway/TS screen programs communicate with terminals and
intelligent devices. Pathway/TS includes the TCP, the SCREEN COBOL compiler and
run-time environment, and the SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP). It requires
the services of the NonStop TS/MP product. See also NonStop Transaction
Services/MP (NonStop TS/MP).
PIN. See process identification number (PIN).
POBJ. The default prefix, or file-name root, used by the SCREEN COBOL compiler in
naming its output files. If no prefix is specified in the RUN command to run the
