Altering Process Attributes
to perform similar functions. You can control NSP LINE objects using SCF. They have
the same names as the NSP processes with which they are associated.
Thus, to abort an X25AM LINE object, you issue a command like the following:
ABORT LINE $X25A
X25AM is the name defined for the process in the SYSGEN PERIPHERALS paragraph.
For more information on altering NSP process attributes, refer to the System Generation
Manual, the MULTILAN/TLAM Management and Operations Manual, the X.25 Access
Method (X25AM) Manual, and the PAM Configuration and Management Manual.
Altering the OSI Manager Process
You can alter Guardian configuration attributes for the OSI manager process by stopping
this process, then rerunning it from SCF or from a TACL command interpreter and
starting it again from SCF. (The ALTER command is invalid for the OSI manager
process.) You specify OSI manager process configuration attributes in the RUN
command.
For example, to change CPUs for the OSI manager process $OSIM, you first issue an
SCF STOP command to stop it:
STOP PROCESS $OSIM
Once the OSI manager process has stopped, you use the RUN command, from either
SCF or TACL, specifying the new CPU, as in the following example:
RUN OSIMGR / NAME $OSIM, CPU 5 / 6
The RUN command causes the OSI manager process to read the designated MIB.
Therefore, you might also need to first direct the OSI manager process to the correct
MIB, before running the RUN command, as follows:
ALTER SUBSYS $OSIM, MIB $SYSTEM.CONFIG.MIB2
After the RUN command, you start the OSI manager process using SCF, as follows:
START PROCESS $OSIM
Note that if you change the Guardian process name of the OSI manager process, you
need to make changes to the names of all the other OSI/AS subsystem objects that make
reference to it. Also, you need to inform application programmers so that they can
change references to the OSI manager process in their applications.
Altering TSP and TAPS Processes
You can use the SCF ALTER PROCESS command to change the Guardian attributes of
TSP and TAPS processes. Before you can change any of these process attributes,
however, you must stop the process.
