TYPE DYNAMIC STATIC
MENU optional optional
MODE optional optional
SCRIPT optional optional
TERM_TYPE optional optional
service-name
Service names are 1 to 8 characters long, beginning with a letter followed by letters and numbers. No special characters
are allowed. Service names are always interpreted as upper case. The service name must not duplicate any existing
services, including the default TACL service if present. The newly added service will be in a STARTed state and
available for immediate use.
TYPE DYNAMIC
With TYPE DYNAMIC, the PROG field is required, while the CPU, PRI, LIB, SWAP, USER, PARAM, HOME,
LIMIT, RESILIENT, DEBUGOPT and LOGON fields are optional.
When a session requests a dynamic service, a new window, with a unique name, is automatically created. A new
application process is also automatically created. When the session terminates, the window is automatically deleted.
Dynamic services have various advantages and disadvantages:
•
No WINDOW pre-configuration required.
•
No application pre-configuration required.
•
Workstations can have identical configurations.
•
Unique window names are difficult to track and manage.
•
Application process creation slows window startup.
•
Can be awkward for Pathway and other applications that allocate CPU and other resources using their own
algorithms.
TYPE STATIC
The PROG, CPU, PRI, LIB, SWAP, PARAM, USER, HOME, LIMIT, RESILIENT, DEBUGOPT and LOGON fields
are not allowed with TYPE STATIC.
When a session requests a static service, a search is made for a previously defined WINDOW that satisfies the following
requirements:
•
SERVICE field matches this service.
•
TYPE is STATIC.
•
Has an application running and waiting for a new session (CONTROL 11).
•
Is not already in session.
If no such window is found, an error message is displayed and the service menu is repeated.
PROG program-file-name
Required when TYPE DYNAMIC is used; not allowed otherwise. PROG specifies the object file for the dynamic service
to be started.
CPU (cpunum | cpunum-cpunum | ANY)
Default is (0,15) or as specified by DYN_CPU. Only allowed with the TYPE DYNAMIC parameter. Specifies the CPU
number, or range of CPU numbers, in which STN will start the dynamic service application. If a range is specified, STN
