Configuring an Alternate SysDB

Issue the OPEN command after executing the CI:
Configuring an Alternate SysDB
The SysDB has been engineered to be version-tolerant; multiple versions of AutoTMF
can use the same SysDB concurrently. If however, you must completely segregate
operating environments, you can also configure a separate SysDB and MapDB.
To configure an alternate system database, the following steps are required:
1. Use the =_ESCORT_SYSDB DEFINE to specify an alternate SysDB subvolume.
Do not use the ESCSYSDB subvolume name.
2. In the CI, issue the CREATE SYSDB command to create the new SysDB.
3. Enter your license.
4. Issue the CREATE MAPDB command to create an alternate MapDB. You must
specify an alternate monitor process name.
5. Use the =_ESCORT_SYSDB DEFINE whenever using the CI. This is especially
important when issuing the START MONITOR command. The alternate SysDB
DEFINE is not required to run application programs, since the application
programs do not access SysDB, except through the monitor process.
6. Associate the new MapDB and monitor with programs by using one of the methods
described above in Associate the alternate MapDB and monitor with programs.
Migrating the NonStop AutoTMF Software
Configuration to a New System
Three commands can assist you in migrating the AutoTMF configuration to a new
system:

To migrate global parameters:

To migrate Monitor and MapDB configuration:

To migrate Program and File Attributes:
AutoTMF 2? open $ztst;
MODIFY GLOBALS REPLACE SYSTEMNUMBER n [, LISTALL ];
MODIFY MAPDBS
REPLACE NODENAME node [, LISTALL ];
MODIFY AUTOTMF
REPLACE NODENAME node [, LISTALL ];
