OSI/AS Management Programming Manual

ALTER PROCESS Command
Commands and Responses
5–58 056785 Tandem Computers Incorporated
ZSPI-TKN-RESPONSE-TYPE, ZSPI-TKN-ALLOW-TYPE, and ZSPI-TKN-
COMMENT
are described in the Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual.
Tokens in Response Buffer
ZSPI-TKN-DATALIST
introduces a data list, as described in the Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
Programming Manual; the final ZSPI-TKN-ENDLIST ends the data list. These
tokens enclose the other response tokens only if the value of the header token
ZSPI-TKN-MAXRESP is nonzero. Because only one object-name token is allowed
in the command, no more than one data list can appear in the response.
ZCOM-TKN-OBJTYPE and ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME
are described in the Communications Management Programming Manual.
ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE, ZSPI-TKN-ERRLIST, and ZSPI-TKN-ENDLIST
are described in the Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual.
Operational Notes
The ALTER PROCESS command is not valid for the OSI manager process.
A TSP or TAPS process object must be in the STOPPED state before its attributes
can be altered. Attributes of an NSP process can be altered at any time.
Before issuing the ALTER PROCESS command, you must call SSNULL to initialize
the ZOSI-DDL-ALTER-PROC extensible structure, and then set at least one of the
fields in the structure to a non-null value.
If the specified primary and backup CPU numbers are the same, or if you have not
specified a primary CPU (with the ADD PROCESS or ALTER PROCESS
command) and you specify a backup CPU number equal to the CPU number of
the primary OSI manager process, OSI/AS returns an invalid parameter error.
The OSI/TS ALTER PROCESS command has several attributes that are not
included in the OSI/AS ALTER PROCESS command. They are:
ZLANDFC ZLANDFT
ZLAN-EXPAND-IO-SIZE ZLAN-IO-SIZE
ZLAN-READS ZLAN-WRITES
ZRECV-DEPTH ZRECV-SIZE
If you want to alter any of these values, you must issue the command using
process-name to send the command directly to the TSP process. You must
subsequently reconfigure these values whenever you start the TSP process.
