This section provides a discussion of some of the parameters in the ZINET ADD and ZINET ALTER commands that you must consider when adding an Internet server application or subsequently changing its characteristics. See TPF Operations for more information about the ZINET ADD and ZINET ALTER commands. The USER parameter must specify one of the TPF-supplied user IDs listed in the TPF C/C++ Language Support User's Guide.
For each Internet server application, the Internet daemon either automatically starts the listener process or the operator manually starts the Internet daemon listener. Use the ACTIVATION parameter, which can be abbreviated to ACT, to specify whether listening is automatic or manual.
The Internet daemon is active starting from CRAS state, so you must decide
the appropriate state in which to start your Internet server
application. The STATE parameter can be specified as STATE-CRAS or
STATE-NORM. Table 8 shows the interaction of the STATE and ACT parameters with
the state of the TPF system.
Table 8. Relationship of STATE and ACT Parameters with the TPF System State
STATE | ACT | System State | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
CRAS | AUTO | CRAS or NORM | Internet server application is started automatically. |
OPER | CRAS or NORM | Internet server application can be started manually. | |
NORM | AUTO | CRAS | Internet server application is not started automatically and cannot be started manually. |
OPER | CRAS | Internet server application cannot be started manually. | |
AUTO | NORM | Internet server application is started automatically. | |
OPER | NORM | Internet server application can be started manually. |
Use the ZINET START command to allow the Internet daemon to start an Internet daemon listener process for the specified Internet server application. Use the ZINET STOP command to stop the Internet daemon from starting Internet daemon listener processes for the specified Internet server application. See TPF Operations for more information about the ZINET START and ZINET STOP commands.
