Naming Processes
Naming Processes
In your Tandem FTAM configuration, you must specify process names to be used for
reference throughout your configuration and by the NonStop Kernel operating system.
Guardian Process Names and Internal Process Names
When you configure an initiator or a responder process, you must specify two names for
the process: one name by which the process is recognized internally by the APLMGR
process, and another name by which the process is recognized by the operating system.
You specify the internal process name as part of the object name in the command line,
directly after the process type; you specify the external Guardian process name using the
required NAME attribute in the SCF ADD command line:
ADD PROCESS \system-name.$appl-mgr-name.#process-type.internal-name, &
NAME \system-name.$process-name
To avoid confusion, the internal process name and the Guardian process name of a given
process should be identical.
The following command adds a responder process with the same internal name and
Guardian process name:
ADD PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMR.FTR1, NAME $FTR1, &
PROFILE $AMGR.#VFS.VFS1
If these names are identical, you can easily tell when commands using the two different
forms of name refer to the same process. Note the similarity between these two ways to
issue the INFO command for the FTAM responder $FTR1:
INFO PROCESS $FTR1
INFO PROCESS $AMGR.#FTAMR.FTR1
OSI Manager Process Names
You can use the OMGRNAME attribute of the SUBSYS object (associated with
APLMGR) to specify the name of the OSI manager process for the OSI/AS subsystem
communicating with (or servicing) Tandem FTAM. This attribute defaults to the OSI
manager process named $OSIM. If this is not the name of the OSI manager process for
your OSI/AS subsystem, change this SUBSYS attribute using the SCF ALTER
command. For example, if your APMGR process is named $AMGR and your OSI
manager process is named $OSI1, you could issue the following SCF command:
ALTER SUBSYS $AMGR, OMGRNAME $OSI1
Note. .For remote access using Tandem FTAM, the Guardian process names of initiators and
responders must be no longer than five characters, including the dollar sign ($). Otherwise,
some FTAM operations, such as file opens, will not work properly.
