System Management Tasks
•
Start the PATHMON environment by using the START PATHWAY command.
Use the cold start option to start the environment for the first time. Use the
cool start option to start the environment using an existing configuration.
3. Configure the PATHMON-controlled objects: that is, the set of objects controlled by
the PATHMON process. Note that this step is optional if you cool started the
PATHMON environment in Step 2, that is, if you configured these objects on a
previous session and do not need to reconfigure any of them.
•
Define configuration parameters for terminal control processes (TCPs) with the
SET TCP command and then add the TCPs to your PATHMON environment
with the ADD TCP command.
•
Define configuration parameters for terminals and other input-output devices
with the SET TERM command and then add the devices with the ADD TERM
command.
•
Define configuration parameters for SCREEN COBOL program templates with
the SET PROGRAM command and then add the program templates with the
ADD PROGRAM command.
•
Define configuration parameters for server classes with the SET SERVER
command and then add the server classes with the ADD SERVER command.
4. Start the PATHMON-controlled objects.
•
Start all the TCP, TERM, and SERVER objects using the appropriate START
command. For example, the command START SERVER * starts all static
server processes defined for all server classes.
•
Run process threads based on your program templates by using the
RUN PROGRAM command.
5. Maintain your PATHMON environment by performing these tasks as needed:
•
Monitor the status and performance of PATHMON-controlled objects.
•
Monitor exception conditions.
•
Send messages to terminal users.
•
Reconfigure objects to correct problems and improve performance.
6. Stop your PATHMON environment.
Use the SHUTDOWN2 command to stop your system in an orderly way so you can
restart easily later. (Although the SHUTDOWN command is supported for
backward compatibility, the SHUTDOWN2 command is recommended.)
The SHUTDOWN2 command also provides options for faster shutdown in
emergencies.
The tasks in Figure 1-7 on page 1-15 that are specific to Pathway/iTS—those that
define, configure, and manage the TCP, TERM, and PROGRAM objects—are
described in detail in the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual .
