Extended Basic Mode
In a NonStop NET/MASTER MS system running in extended basic mode, at least one
static or dynamic NC process is present and a combination of other (BK, EM, IS, and
MS) application processes is present. A typical configuration is one static NC process,
and one dynamic IS and MS process. Extended basic mode is discussed in more detail
later in this section.
Advanced Mode
In a NonStop NET/MASTER MS system running in advanced mode, no NC processes
are present and at least one static or dynamic occurrence of each other process class
(BK, EM, IS, and MS) is present. Advanced mode is discussed in more detail later in
this section.
PARAM Commands
Used to Create a
Process Definition
To configure a process started by NonStop NET/MASTER MS, you must include a set
of certain PARAM commands in the CONFIG file. A set of PARAM commands that
configures a specific process is called a process definition. This subsection:
Outlines the structure of a process definition in which these PARAM commands
are used
Discusses, in turn, each PARAM command used to define a process attribute
Lists each PARAM command used to define the process type and process name
This subsection describes PARAM commands that apply to both NonStop
NET/MASTER MS processes and DSNM processes. Specific instructions for
configuring each process type appear later in this section.
Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for more
information on the PARAM command.
The Structure of a Process
Definition
A process definition must always include a program file name, and must conclude
with the operand that specifies the process type and logical name. Other process
definition requirements vary according to the type of process you are configuring in
the definition. As shown in Appendix C, “Sample CONFIG File Segments,” the
commands in a definition typically follow this order:
PARAM PROCESSOBJECT= program-file-name
…
PARAM process-attribute operands (optional)
…
PARAM process-type operand = logical-name
Some types of processes require additional operands, as noted in the discussion of
specific processes. Examples appear throughout this section. See Section 3,
“Configuring NonStop NET/MASTER MS,” for more information about the CONFIG
file.
