The following example directs the NCP to start the configured process in CPU 3, if
possible, or CPU 4, if CPU 3 is unavailable:
PARAM PROCESSCPU=(3,4)
When applied to static processes started as process pairs,
cpu1
and
cpu2
specify the
preferred locations of the primary process and the backup process, respectively (see
“Running BK, EM, and NC Processes as Process Pairs,” later in this section, for more
information).
GMM and security exit processes usually run as process pairs. When applied to GMM
processes,
cpu1
and
cpu2
specify the locations of the primary process and the backup
process, respectively (see “Configuring Global Memory Manager (GMM) Processes,”
later in this section, for more information). When used to configure a security exit, the
value in
cpu2
is ignored (although the value must be supplied for syntax checking);
the backup CPU is assigned by the first argument of the PROCESSPARAM operand in
its definition (see “Configuring Security Exit Processes,” later in this section, for more
information).
Note If the CPU of a process pair’s primary process fails, the backup process assumes the role of the primary
process and continues processing. The process then attempts to create a new backup in the failed CPU
after it has been reloaded. The CPU assignments do not revert to their original configuration after a failed
CPU is reloaded.
The
PROCESSDEBUGTERM
Operand
Use the PROCESSDEBUGTERM operand to start a program in debug mode, under the
control of the Inspect debugger, at a specified terminal. The terminal specified as the
argument of PROCESSDEBUGTERM becomes the home terminal for the process.
Specify PROCESSDEBUGTERM as either a valid name for a terminal or NONE.
For example, to start a program under Inspect and assign it a home terminal of
$T500.#TRM4, include the following command in the process definition:
PARAM PROCESSDEBUGTERM=$T500.#TRM4
This operand is optional for all processes. The default is NONE. If you omit
PROCESSDEBUGTERM, the process does not execute in debug mode.
Note The PROCESSDEBUGTERM operand is not normally used in a process definition; therefore, it is not
discussed further in this section.
Use the PROCESSDEBUGTERM operand only when directed by Tandem support staff.
