I Process Development Process
The _STARTUP^MODE Procedure
The frame calls_STARTUP^MODE when it begins its startup processing.
_STARTUP^MODE performs the following tasks:
•
Retrieves the component name of the subsystem(s) being handled by the I process.
•
Determines whether the I process is running in test mode.
•
Determines whether to use the COMPONENT process parameter value if one
appears in the startup message.
The format of the _STARTUP^MODE procedure is as follows:
component
is usually the name of the subsystem the I process handles. For I processes that
handle more than one subsystem, the component name is an arbitrary name chosen
by the developer of the process. For example, the SCP I process supplied by
Tandem handles multiple communications subsystems: COMM is its component
name. The component name is used for configuration parameter retrieval searches.
testmode
passes a value indicating whether the I process is running in test mode (which
affects startup parameter processing; see Section 5, “DSNM Process Startup
Functions”).
accept-startup-component
indicates whether a process COMPONENT parameter value in the startup message
should (nonzero) or should not (zero, the default) override the component value.
subject
identifies the I process name, up to ZDSN-MAX-COMPONENT characters (36),
terminated by a space or null. It is included as the subject value in all EMS
messages generated by the I process.
_STARTUP^MODE is discussed further in Section 5, “DSNM Process Startup
Functions.”
