Using the SET and ADD Commands
For more information on the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute, see the description of
the SET PATHWAY command in Section 11, PATHMON Environment Control
Commands.
2. Add the object with the ADD command.
The PATHMON process writes the object’s name and definition to the PATHMON
configuration file, inserting this information in the space allocated for it when the file
was created. The object definition recorded in the configuration file includes
attribute values assigned by default as well as those that you specified in your SET
commands.
The object name you assign in the ADD command is used in later PATHCOM
commands that refer to the object. For more information about names, see Choosing
Names for PATHMON-Controlled Objects on page 3-16
To illustrate the relationship between the SET and ADD functions, suppose that you
want to define and add a SERVER identified by the name SERVER-X. You first define
the attributes by using a series of SET SERVER commands or by accepting default
attribute values from PATHCOM:
= SET SERVER PROCESSTYPE OSS
= SET SERVER CREATEDELAY 1 MINS
= SET SERVER MAXSERVERS 2
= SET SERVER CPUS (3:2, 0:6)
= SET SERVER PROGRAM \PARIS.$MARKT.UPDATE
= SET SERVER SECURITY “N”
Before adding the SERVER, you can check the values by using the SHOW command:
= SHOW SERVER
Then, you name and add the SERVER, using an ADD SERVER command:
= ADD SERVER SERVER-X
In response, the PATHMON process writes the name and definition for this SERVER
into the PATHMON configuration file, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Note. You cannot configure remote OSS servers in your PATHMON configuration. Although
PATHCOM allows you to ADD an OSS server configured on a remote node, PATHMON
cannot START a remote OSS server.
