PATHCOM Interface

PATHCOM is a command language interpreter and interactive command interface to
the PATHMON process, the central control process for your Pathway subsystem. By
using PATHCOM, which consists of sets of object-related commands, you can
interactively define and manage all PATHMON-controlled objects.
For more information on PATHCOM, see the TS/MP System Management Manual and
the Pathway/iTS System Management Manual.
You can reduce the number of PATHCOM commands you have to enter to perform
various management activities by creating either OBEY command files or TACL
scripts. The command files or TACL scripts contain command sequences that are
automatically executed by PATHCOM.

SPI Interface

You can also manage Pathway/iTS by using the management programming interface.
This interface supports management applications that automate configuration and
control tasks, allowing you to avoid entering many PATHCOM commands interactively
at a terminal.
The interface is a token-oriented interface based on the following:
Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) commands and definition files
Event Management Service (EMS) error and event messages
