2c. Add SCF Objects to the CONFIG File
2c. Add SCF Objects to the CONFIG File
You can customize your system configuration by adding SCF objects that are not part
of the initial system configuration. For example, you can:
•
Add devices that were not included in the initial system configuration.
•
Configure important system processes as generic processes.
Only processes that can be started from a TACL prompt and do not require
PARAM or ASSIGN messages can be configured as generic processes. For more
information about configuring generic processes, see the SCF Reference Manual
for the Kernel Subsystem.
For example, to make an important system process, such as the Expand manager
process, start automatically at system load and have persistence (that is, to restart
automatically if stopped abnormally), create it as a generic process in the system
configuration database:
1. Create an SCF command file containing the correct commands. For example, you
can configure the Expand manager process as follows:
2. Save the current configuration database file. See 1d. Save Current System
Configuration on page F-3.
3. Invoke the command file created in Step 1. For example:
> SCF / IN GPADD /
4. Start the process.
