HIGHPIN Attribute

In order for a process to be run in a high pin (process number > 255), both the program

object file and the user library file must have the HIGHPIN attribute set to ON. If either

one is OFF, the process will occupy a low pin. The AutoTMF user library files are

distributed with HIGHPIN ON. If you bind ESCRUNTM or link ESCRUNN or

ESCRUNNL with another user library, the resulting user library loses the HIGHPIN

attribute.



To set the HIGHPIN attribute for a TNS user library, use a Binder command, as

follows:



To set the HIGHPIN attribute for TNS/R library file, use the NLD command as

follows:

Hard-Coding Monitor Name into the Runtime

You can hard-code the monitor name into the NonStop AutoTMF runtime. This method

adds the special procedure ESCORT_MONITOR_NAME into the AutoTMF runtime.

Note that this method cannot be used for TNS/E native programs because the

AutoTMF product subvolume does not contain a linkable version of the AutoTMF DLL.

1. Create a source file with the following entries and assign the name of the alternate

monitor to the monname variable ($ZTST in this example):

2. Compile the source file using the appropriate compiler for each type of object file in

your environment:

BIND CHANGE HIGHPIN ON IN myuserlb

nld -change highpin on mynatlbt

nld -change highpin on mynatlbc

proc ESCORT_MONITOR_NAME( monname:len );

-- -------------------

string .ext monname;

int len;

begin

monname ':=' "$ZTST";

end; -- ESCORT_MONITOR_NAME
