Configuring Objects in a PATHMON Environment

Understanding the Working Set of Attribute Values

PATHCOM maintains a working set of attribute values for objects you define in your

PATHMON environment. These objects include SERVER objects and −if your

environment includes the Pathway/iTS product−TCP, TERM, and PROGRAM objects.

For information about managing Pathway/iTS objects, see the

Pathway/iTS System

Management Manual

The working set of attribute values is initialized when you start PATHCOM. In this

initial stage, each attribute entry in the working set specifies either of these:

•

The attribute and its default value, assigned by PATHCOM. If you do not specify

another value for this attribute with the SET or ADD command, this default value is

assigned when you add any object of this type.

•

The attribute alone, with no value specified. You must assign a value for this

attribute with the SET or ADD command.

By using values from the PATHCOM working set whenever possible, you can greatly

simplify object definition and creation. For example, this command creates a SERVER

named FRED, using the current values from the working set:

= ADD SERVER FRED

These paragraphs describe how to display, modify, override, and reinitialize working

set values.

Displaying Working Set Values

Before you actually begin configuring objects in your environment, you can display the

initial working set for each object type by entering the SHOW command. For instance,

to list the attributes in the working set for SERVER objects, you enter:

= SHOW SERVER

Note. Do not use PATHCOM-reserved words to identify PATHMON-controlled objects. For a

list of reserved words, see Appendix B, PATHCOM Reserved Words.
