Pathway Management Programming Interface
Pathway Management Programming Interface
The Pathway management programming interface is a token-oriented interface based
on the SPI message format, procedures, and definition files. The interface consists of a
set of programmatic commands that allow a management application to communicate
directly with the PATHMON process.
Some sample management applications that might communicate with Pathway/iTS
are:
•
A program that starts TERM objects automatically at a specified time at the
beginning of the day. (This program would communicate with Pathway/iTS only.)
•
A program that monitors status on TERM objects and, if a device is not running,
contacts data communications subsystems to obtain information on the
communications line to which the device is connected. (This program would
communicate with the Pathway subsystem and with data communications
subsystems.)
•
A program that saves event messages for the Pathway subsystem objects and
issues STATUS and INFO commands to find out more about why the event is
being reported. (This program would communicate with EMS and Pathway
subsystems.)
•
A program that monitors events in a PATHMON environment containing TERM
objects connected through a SNAX product. When the program detects an event
that reports a stopped terminal, the program responds by sending a STOP
command to the SNAX software to stop the subdevice; sending a START
command to the SNAX software to restart the subdevice; and sending a START
command to the PATHMON process to restart the TERM object. (This program
would communicate with the SNAX software and with the Pathway subsystem.)
The following paragraphs give an overview of the tasks involved in setting up and
managing a Pathway subsystem. For more information on the strategy for performing
specific system management tasks, see the TS/MP System Management Manual and
the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual.
