DYNAMICPROCESS
DYNAMICPROCESS= logical-name
specifies a logical name for a dynamic process.
You can specify a unique logical name from 1 through 12 characters long. You can
use the following characters:
Alphabetic characters: A through Z and a through z
Numeric characters: 0 through 9
Other characters: ^ ~ # $ { } - . : @ [ \ ] _ ` |
Considerations
Dynamic processes are NonStop NET/MASTER MS processes. The first instance
of a dynamic process is created by the NonStop NET/MASTER MS control
process (NCP) using the PARAM commands that define the dynamic process.
Subsequently, copies of dynamic processes are created as required by the NCP to
service increased demands by users and NCL processes.
Dynamic processes stop either when they are no longer required or through
failure. If a dynamic process fails, it is not restarted automatically. If the CPU in
which a dynamic process is running fails, the dynamic process is not restarted
automatically in another CPU.
If you include the PARAM DYNAMICPROCESS command in the configuration
file, NonStop NET/MASTER MS does not use any default dynamic configuration
for the object file specified using the PARAM PROCESSOBJECT command.
A dynamic BK, EM, or NC process can run as either a persistent process or a
process pair. The NCP starts a dynamic process as a persistent process. A
dynamic BK, EM, or NC process runs as a process pair when a persistent NCL
process is started in the dynamic process. The primary process creates the backup
process in the next higher-numbered CPU (selected in a round-robin fashion)
relative to the CPU in which the primary process is currently executing. If no CPU
is available, the primary process creates the backup process when the appropriate
CPU becomes available. Meanwhile, the primary process runs without a backup
process (and will not survive a failure).
