Running a GDSX Process
run-option-list
is a list of one or more Guardian run options separated by commas. Only the
NAME option is required. The options that are significant for running GDSX are
the following:
NAME $GDSX-process-name
designates the symbolic name to be assigned to the GDSX process. The GDSX-
process-name must follow Guardian naming conventions for processes. The
process must be named so that application processes and SCF can open GDSX.
NOWAIT
means that the initiating command interpreter is not to wait while GDSX starts
up, but is to return a command input prompt immediately after sending the
startup message to the process.
OUT file-name
specifies a file for output from the GDSX process.
PRI priority-number
specifies the execution priority of the GDSX process.
CPU integer
designates the CPU in which the GDSX primary process is to run.
HIGHPIN { ON | OFF }
specifies whether NonStop Kernel is to try to run the GDSX process at a high
PIN.
backup-cpu-number
is an optional parameter. It indicates the CPU in which a backup GDSX process is
to run.
If you run a filter before starting GDSX, running GDSX causes a startup message to
appear on the display terminal specified by the filter.
Examples
1. Running a single GDSX process named $GDSX:
> RUN GDSE /NAME $GDSX, NOWAIT/
2. Running GDSX as a process pair named $GDSX. The execution priority is 150, the
primary process is to run in CPU 2, and the backup is to run in CPU 3:
> RUN GDSE /NAME $GDSX, NOWAIT, PRI 150, CPU 2/ 3
