Starting and Stopping a PATHMON Environment

Starting the PATHMON Process
Assign a process name and start the PATHMON process that controls your
PATHMON environment.
2. Start PATHCOM.
Start a PATHCOM process that communicates with the PATHMON process. From
this point on, all your interactions with the PATHMON environment take place
through PATHCOM.
3. Configure the PATHMON environment.
Use SET PATHWAY commands to specify global parameters and limits for the
overall configuration.
Use SET PATHMON commands to specify a backup processor and request error
dumping.
One of your options is to configure all processes and devices in the Pathway
environment as node-independent, making it easier to move your database to a
new system. Node names for node-independent process and device names
default to the node where the PATHMON process is currently running.
4. Start the Pathway environment.
Once these four steps are completed, you can use PATHCOM to configure the
SERVER objects controlled by the PATHMON process. Object configuration is
described in Section 3, Configuring Objects in a PATHMON Environment. For
instructions on configuring TCPs and TERM and PROGRAM objects, see the
Pathway/iTS System Management Manual .
Starting the PATHMON Process
To start a new PATHMON process, name the PATHMON process in an implicit RUN
command to TACL. For example, this command starts a PATHMON process named
$PMX and specifies that the process will run on processor 3:
> PATHMON /NAME $PMX, CPU 3, NOWAIT/
You can enter this command from your terminal, as shown in the example.
Alternatively, you can create a command file that contains this command (as well as
others) and then request execution of the commands in that file. In either case, the
operating system responds to your command by creating and starting the primary
PATHMON process, as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-4.
