Changing Program File Names
You should change home terminals for TMF processes only under special
circumstances, at the direction of your service provider.
Changing Program File Names
The program file for a TMF process is the file containing the code that, when executed,
constitutes that particular kind of process.
You can change the program file name for any of the TMF processes except TMFMON
by using the PROGRAMFILE option in the ALTER PROCESS command. (Because
the TMFMON code is contained within the operating system image, and therefore does
not have its own file on the $SYSTEM disk, you cannot use the PROGRAMFILE option
for that process.) However, you should change the program file for a TMF process
only under special circumstances, at the direction of your service provider.
The default program file names for the TMF processes are as shown in Table 6-2.
Caution. If the SWAP, TERM, or PROGRAMFILE attribute for the TMFMON2 process is
modified so that the swap volume, terminal, or program file is inaccessible when a processor is
reloaded, the attempt to create the TMFMON2 process in that processor fails. Then TMF tries
again to create TMFMON2 in this processor, this time ignoring the configured value of the
attribute causing the problem and using that attribute’s default value instead. Although TMF
starts this TMFMON2 process with one or more default values, the configuration attributes are
not permanently modified. Thus, if the attribute values no longer cause errors when future
TMFMON2 processes are created, these new processes run with the configured values rather
than the defaults.
Until successful, TMF attempts to start the TMFMON2 process every 60 seconds. For each
failed attempt, TMF issues an EMS event message 184 to explain the problem.
