ALTER MAPDB
ALTER MAPDB
Modifies attributes of an existing MapDB; the alterable attributes mostly affect the 
associated monitor process, not MapDB itself. The changes take effect when the 
monitor process is restarted. These attributes can also be changed using ALTER 
MONITOR.
subvol
the name of the MapDB subvolume.
If this command is used to change the name of the monitor, the current monitor 
process must first be stopped.
BACKUP cpu-number
the CPU number (in the range of 0 to 15) of the backup monitor process.
HOMETERM [ file-name | NONE ]
the home terminal for the monitor process.
If omitted, the home terminal is set to the default EMS collector. The default EMS 
collector is $0, or the EMS collector configured by setting the global parameter 
EMSCOLLECTOR.
Note that internally, the default hometerm of the monitor is $ZHOME, as displayed 
by the TACL command STATUS $<process-name>, because an EMS collector 
cannot be specified as the hometerm of a process when the process is launched. 
Functionally however, the home terminal for the monitor process is the default 
EMS collector, as shown by the Autosync STATUS MONITOR
 command.
If NONE is specified or if file-name is omitted, the hometerm is reset to the default 
value described above.
MONITOR process-name
the name of the monitor process to be associated with the MapDB. The name must 
have 4 characters. 
ALTER MAPDB subvol { , option... }
option is:
{ BACKUP cpu-number  }
{ HOMETERM [ file-name | NONE ]  }
{ MONITOR monitor-name }
{ PRIMARY cpu-number }
{ PRIORITY process-priority  }
