Chapter 7 129
GROUP Is the name of the PRM group in which the application
will run.
NOTE If GROUP is in a hierarchy, it must be a leaf group (a
group with no child groups). You cannot assign
applications to parent groups. For example, in the
configuration below, TWO is a parent group and TWO/b is
a leaf group.
#Group records
TWO:HIER:60::
TWO/b:3:50::
#Application records
/opt/appname/bin/exec1::::TWO # INVALID
/opt/appname/bin/exec2::::TWO/b # VALID
Consequently, TWO cannot be used in an application
record.
For more information on hierarchical groups, see
“Hierarchical PRM groups” on page 38.
ALT_NAME (Optional) Is an alternate name for the application
assigned at execution. This is common for complex
programs such as database programs that launch
many processes and rename them. It is also common
for shells and interpreters used in scripts; the names of
the scripts are considered alternate names.
Using alternate names, you can place the various
processes of a single application in different PRM
groups.
For most binaries and scripts, ALT_NAME should match
the first item in the COMMAND column (that is, the
command argument with no options) of the output from
the ps -ef command. For Java programs, it should
match the first argument to the Java binary that is not
preceded by a dash ( - ) in the COMMAND column. For
more information, see ps(1).
The alternate name must share the file ID of the
application named in the record.
