PROCESS ALTER
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands
2–266 115412 Tandem Computers Incorporated
For a process capable of running as a process pair:
If the specified CPU is different from the CPU in which the process is
running, a backup process is immediately started in the specified
CPU.
Note A backup process is not started for a BK, EM, or NC process. For these processes, the command
updates the location of the CPU in which the primary process creates the backup process when a
persistent NCL process is started in the BK, EM, or NC process.
If the specified CPU is the same as the CPU in which the process is
running, the command is ignored.
CPU=( cpu1 , cpu2 )
changes the preferred CPUs for creating and executing a static NonStop
NET/MASTER MS application process or a DSNM process. The change takes
effect when the NCP next starts the static or DSNM process.
For related information, see the PARAM DSNMPROCESS, PARAM
PROCESSCPU, and PARAM STATICPROCESS commands.
WEIGHT= process-weight
changes the weight of a dynamic process. The change takes effect when the NCP
creates a new occurrence of the dynamic process.
For related information, see the PARAM DYNAMICPROCESS and PARAM
PROCESSWEIGHT commands.
Considerations
The default authority level of this command is 4.
You can enter this command from any NCL procedure, including the INIT NCL
procedure, by using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb.
For more information about configuring all processes in the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS processing environment, refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER
MS System Management Guide.
Examples
1. The following example specifies CPU 1 as the backup processor. This change will
not take effect immediately.
PROCESS ALTER=$AG01 BACKUPCPU=1 DEFER=YES
2. The following example specifies that the preferred CPU for executing the $AG01
process be changed from CPU2 to CPU3:
PROCESS ALTER=$AG01 CPU=(2,3)
