EMSCCTRL—Control Collector Utility
col-options
are one or more of these collector options, separated by commas:
ALLOCATE (alternate collector only)
if present, makes the alternate collector attempt to create or allocate
MAXFILE files in the current log subvolume. The range of the log file
numbers created or allocated is the same as that described in
EMSACOLL—Alternate Collector Program on page 13-2.
If ALLOCATE is specified with LOGSUBVOL, the allocation takes place in
the new subvolume. Similarly, if ALLOCATE is specified with
NEXTLOGFILE, the next log file is opened prior to allocation.
BLOCKING { ON | OFF }
if ON, causes the collector to block event messages before writing them to
the log file. Default value for the primary and alternate collectors is ON.
BUFFERED { ON | OFF }
if ON, directs the disk process to buffer records in the disk cache buffer,
rather than writing them immediately to disk. For more information, see the
ZCOL-WRITETHRUCACHE field in CONTROL Command (ZEMS-CMD-
CONTROL) on page 19-34.
CDISTMODE { selection-criterion }
specifies the selection criterion used by the compatibility distributor to
determine which messages to print.
The compatibility distributor, $Z0, receives all event messages, including
pre-EMS messages, in EMS token form. The selection criterion determines
the way $Z0 handles each message. selection-criterion can have
these values:
selection-criterion
CRITICAL-ONLY ON
$Z0 suppresses the display of some messages on the operator
console. This decreases the number of noncritical messages displayed
on the console, particularly during a coldload. The messages
suppressed are messages with console message numbers 6 (LDEV
UP), 141 (CLIP DOWNLOADED), and 150 (CSS ACTIVATE PATH).
CRITICAL-ONLY ON is the default selection criterion.
