The PROCESSSWAPVOL
Operand
Use the PROCESSSWAPVOL operand to specify the swap volume used by a process.
You must specify a volume on your local system. This is the volume that contains the
swap file for a process. The swap file is used for memory swaps of the user data stack
during execution of the process (refer to the TACL Reference Manual for more
information). This operand is functionally equivalent to the SWAP option of the
TACL RUN command.
For example, to specify $DATA as the swap volume for a process, include the
following command in the process definition:
PARAM PROCESSSWAPVOL=$DATA
This operand is optional for all processes. If you omit the PROCESSSWAPVOL
operand, the default is used. The default swap volume is the volume specified by the
PROCESSOBJECT operand. Otherwise, without a CONFIG file, the name of the
default swap volume for each process is the volume on which NonStop
NET/MASTER MS program files are installed.
The PROCESSWEIGHT
Operand
Use the PROCESSWEIGHT operand of the PARAM command to configure CPU
resource consumption by a dynamic process when the dynamic process is created in
the CPU. Resource consumption is called the process weight of the dynamic process,
which is measured in conceptual units. A dynamic process with a higher process
weight consumes more CPU weight than a dynamic process with a lower process
weight. Specify PROCESSWEIGHT as an integer from 0 through 100.
For example, to specify a process weight of 5 for a dynamic process, include the
following command in the process definition in the CONFIG file:
PARAM PROCESSWEIGHT=5
If you omit the PROCESSWEIGHT operand from a dynamic process definition, the
dynamic process uses the default weight of 1 (minimum CPU weight). The operand is
ignored when applied to processes other than dynamic processes.
Defining the Process Type
and Process Name
Use one of the following PARAM command operands to define the process type and
process name, and to conclude the process definition:
CIPPROCESS, for a DSNM CIP process
CMDPROCESS, for a DSNM command server process
DSNMPROCESS, for a DSNM process other than a CIP or command server
process
DYNAMICPROCESS, for a dynamic BK, EM, IS, MS, or NC process
GMMPROCESS, for a GMM process
SECEXITPROCESS, for an internally started security exit process
STATICPROCESS, for a static BK, EM, IS, MS, or NC process
These operands are discussed in detail throughout the rest of this section.
