166 IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS User’s Guide
S
Secondary Node (SNODE)
The remote or secondary node (SNODE) is the Sterling Connect:Direct node that interacts with the primary
node (PNODE) during Process execution. SNODE may also be referred to as the participating
(non-controlling) or partner node. Every Process has one PNODE and one SNODE.
Session Manager (SMGR)
The session manager component executes the Sterling Connect:Direct Processes. You can set the initialization
parameters to make the SMGR either fixed or dynamic.
Spool Monitor (CDSPLMON)
The Sterling Connect:Direct Spool Monitor (CDSPLMON) is a variable component of Sterling Connect:Direct
for i5/OS. CDSPLMON uses Spool Monitor entries to associate output queues with destination Sterling
Connect:Direct nodes. These entries also include default values used to transfer spooled files.
Statistics Facility
The Sterling Connect:Direct Statistics Facility records Sterling Connect:Direct activities.
Statistics File
The statistics file holds Sterling Connect:Direct statistics records that document the history of a Process.
Statistics Manager (STATMGR)
Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS logs statistics information for all Sterling Connect:Direct Processes. Each
component of Sterling Connect:Direct for i5/OS generates statistics data to the statistics manager
(STATMGR). The long-running STATMGR formats the statistics information and writes it to the statistics
file.
Submitted Session Managers are session managers submitted by the Process Manager.
Synchronous
Synchronous Process execution occurs when you submit a Sterling Connect:Direct command. Processes such
as CDSND and CDRCV are submitted by the user and they execute immediately.
T
TCP/IP Listener
The TCP/IP Listener component requests session managers from the Process Manager when it receives
connection requests. The Process Manager starts and controls the TCPLIST component.
