Changing Process File Segment (PFS) Sizes
Table 6-1 gives the recommended recovery process extended segment sizes for
various S-series systems.
Note that when setting the extended segment sizes (x,y), y must be a multiple of x.
For further sizing guidelines, contact your service provider.
Changing Process File Segment (PFS) Sizes
In the G06.00 and subsequent G-series release version updates (RVUs), you do not
need to specify the PFS size of a new process. If you do, the specification is ignored.
Instead, all processes have a PFS size that can grow up to 32 MB. Note that if you
include the PFSSIZE parameter in an ALTER PROCESS command, the specified
values must be correct even though they are ignored.
Changing Swap Volumes
This field is not used, but you can provide it for informational purposes. If supplied, the
swap file must be on the same system as the process being created. If the supplied
name is in local form, the system where the process is created is assumed. Processes
swap to a file that is managed by the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF). For more
information about this facility, refer to the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF)
Manual. Note that if you do include the SWAP parameter in an ALTER PROCESS
command, the SWAP parameter must specify a valid volume name even though it is
ignored.
Enabling or Disabling Inspect and Debug
You can enable or disable debug mode for particular TMF processes, and specify the
desired debug program (Inspect or Debug), by using the INSPECT, DEBUG, and
MAKESAVEABEND options in an ALTER PROCESS command.
You should do this only under special circumstances, at the direction of your service
provider.
The default is debug mode disabled.
The INSPECT option, if present, specifies that you want to use the Inspect program
(omitting the option designates the Debug program).
