ALTER Command
Considerations
•
When the ADD command is completed, the process is defined to the NonStop™
IPX/SPX subsystem and placed in the STOPPED summary state. To initiate the
operation of the object, use the START PROCESS command. Use the STATUS
PROCESS command to check the status of the new process.
•
If the process you are trying to define already exists in the subsystem, an error is
returned.
•
After issuing the ADD PROCESS command, you only need to specify the process
name when entering subsequent commands; you no longer need to enter the fully
qualified process name.
ALTER Command
The ALTER command changes attribute values associated with the specified NonStop™
IPX/SPX process object.
ALTER is a sensitive command.
ALTER PROCESS
ALTER PROCESS changes the attribute values of a PROCESS object. You must define
the PROCESS object to the NonStop™ IPX/SPX subsystem prior to altering its
attributes. The ALTER PROCESS command is accepted only when the IPXPROTO
process is in the STOPPED summary state.
