necessarily be interpreted as the sending node, since PNODE can be the receiver. In every Process, there is one
local (PNODE) and one remote (SNODE) specified. The submitter of a Process is always the PNODE.
Process
A Process is a series of statements that initiate Sterling Connect:Direct activity, such as copying files, and
running jobs.
Process Management Queue
The Process Management Queue (PMQ) holds information about Sterling Connect:Direct Processes that are
currently executing or scheduled to execute in the future.
Process Manager (PMGR)
The Process Manager initiates and manages the Sterling Connect:Direct environment.
Process Statements
Process Statements are instructions for transferring files, running operating system jobs, executing programs,
or submitting other Sterling Connect:Direct Processes. They are used to build a Sterling Connect:Direct
Process.
Q
Queue Manager (QMGR)
The Queue Manager is a fixed Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS component. The Process Manager starts the
Queue manager when it starts Sterling Connect:Direct, and the QMGR remains active while Sterling
Connect:Direct is active. The Queue Manager has five logical queues: ACTIVQ, executing processes;
WAITQ, processes waiting to run; HOLDQ, processes currently held; TIMERQ, processes waiting to be
moved to the WAITQ; and STARTQ, asynchronous processes being activated.
R
Remote Node
A remote node is an entry in the Network Map that defines a Sterling Connect:Direct node with which the local
Sterling Connect:Direct node can communicate. The remote node is also referred to as an adjacent node.
Remote Process
A remote Process is a Sterling Connect:Direct Process initiated on the remote Sterling Connect:Direct node.
Retry Interval
The retry interval is the interval at which retries are performed as a part of the checkpoint-restart feature.
