Running EMS Analyzer in Background Mode for a
Batch Environment
which must be a letter. (For network access, the name must be no more than four
characters.) If you omit this parameter, the EMS Analyzer process is not named
and has only a CPU number and process ID.
NOWAIT
specifies that TACL does not wait while the program runs. TACL returns a
command input prompt after sending the startup message to the new process. If
you omit this option, TACL pauses while EMS Analyzer runs. Use this option to
run EMS Analyzer in background mode for a batch environment.
OUT [ listfile ]
specifies the output file for the EMS Analyzer process. If you omit OUT
listfile, the EMS Analyzer process uses the OUT file in effect for the
current TACL (usually your home terminal).
PRI priority
specifies the run priority of the EMS Analyzer process. Specify priority as an
integer in the range of 1 to 199. Processes with higher numbers are executed
first. If you omit this option, EMS Analyzer runs at a priority of 1 less than that
of the TACL process. (If a $CMON process exists and you omit the PRI option,
$CMON might specify a priority other than 1 less than your TACL process. For
more information about $CMON, see the Guardian Programmer’s Guide.)
command
is any valid EMS Analyzer command. For information on EMS Analyzer
commands, see Section 5, Command Descriptions.
Running EMS Analyzer in Background Mode for a Batch Environment
You can run EMS Analyzer in background mode (NOWAIT) for a batch environment.
The following command runs EMS Analyzer in background mode with two options
specified:
In this example EMS Analyzer is assigned to run at priority 100 and in a CPU not
assigned to critical processes, such as CPU 1. These are recommended values for
running EMS Analyzer in a batch environment.
Guidelines
•
You can run EMS Analyzer with an input file containing the desired commands to
be executed and specify an output file and run options. The in-file is an EDIT
file where commands are entered the same way they would be at the EMS Analyzer
prompt.
•
The following rules apply to background mode:
1> EMSA /in in-file, out out-file, nowait, pri 100, cpu 1/
