PROCESSCHAR
PROCESSCHAR= process-character
confirms the first character of the name of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS control
process (NCP). The NonStop NET/MASTER MS process character is specified
when NonStop NET/MASTER MS is initially executed. It is the first character of
the process name specified using the NAME operand of the RUN command that
starts NonStop NET/MASTER MS from TACL.
You must specify a letter from A through Z as the process character. If you specify
a letter from A through Y, process names created by the NCP begin with this
letter. If you specify the letter Z, process names created by the NCP may begin
with X, Y, or Z. Using the 26 letters to create unique process names, you can run
up to 26 copies of NonStop NET/MASTER MS concurrently on the same node.
Considerations
The letter you specify using the PARAM PROCESSCHAR command must match
the letter specified by the NAME operand of the RUN command. If the process
character in the RUN command does not match the process character specified by
the PARAM PROCESSCHAR command, NonStop NET/MASTER MS startup is
aborted.
If you plan to run multiple NonStop NET/MASTER MS systems on the same
node, you must allocate each NonStop NET/MASTER MS system a unique
process character in the RUN command.
You can use a different configuration file for each NonStop NET/MASTER MS
system. Including the PARAM PROCESSCHAR command in each configuration
file with a value that matches the value given in the RUN command allows
NonStop NET/MASTER MS to confirm that you are using the correct
configuration file.
Example
The following example of the RUN command specifies a process character of L after
the NAME operand:
RUN $DATA.LNNM.NCP /NAME $LNNM, CPU 2/3 $DATA.LNNM.LCONFIG
With this example, if you specify the PARAM PROCESSCHAR command in the
configuration file, the value of this startup parameter must be L:
PARAM PROCESSCHAR=L
