ADD PROCESS Considerations
ADD PROCESS Considerations
•
Processes that are added are not started automatically. Processes are in the 
STOPPED state after being added. The ADD PROCESS command defines a process 
and places the definition in the APLMGR management information base (MIB). The 
START command acts on the definition and starts the process.
•
You can use the ADD command to configure initiator and responder processes only.
Attributes of an APLMGR process are specified as RUN command options when 
you run the process. Some attributes can be modified by using the ALTER SUBSYS 
command once the APLMGR process is running.
•
Each process name must be unique. If a name specified in the ADD command for a 
process already exists for a started process of a different type, a file-system 
error 502, “Invalid value for attribute,” occurs when you issue the ADD command.
ADD PROCESS Errors
If the information in the process definition is incorrect (for example, the codefile name is 
incorrect or the swap volume is no longer valid), errors are more likely to occur when 
using the START PROCESS command than when first adding the process.
The following table lists the most common errors that can occur during the processing of 
the ADD PROCESS command:
For more information on errors specific to APLMGR (OSIAPLMG errors having 
positive error numbers), see Appendix B, SCF Error Messages for the APLMGR 
Subsystem. For more information on common SCF error messages (errors having 
negative error numbers), see the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Reference Manual 
(for D-series releases) or the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series Releases.
Message Meaning
Expecting an existing SCF 
supported object name or the 
character “(“
No APLMGR process by the specified name could be found. 
To display valid APLMGR process names, use the following 
command:
LISTDEV OSIAPLMG
OSIAPLMG E-00015 
Object object-name already 
defined
The internal-name specified is already registered as an 
internal process name. Reenter the command with a new 
internal-name.
SCP E-00022 
Security Violation for 
process-name
You are not allowed to perform sensitive commands. For 
further information on sensitive commands, see Sensitive and 
Nonsensitive Commands on page 1-9.
OSIAPLMG E00503 
Missing Required Attribute: 
attribute-name
The SCF command issued is missing the required attribute. 
Reissue the command, including the attribute.
