Starting TSP Processes
You can use SCF to alter and display the permanently configured attributes of a
subdevice associated with a TSP process. You can also use SCF to alter some process
attributes.
After your application opens a subdevice, it can call the SETPARAM and SETMODE
procedures to dynamically change some subdevice attribute values. The values assigned
using SETPARAM and SETMODE remain in effect until your application closes the
device; the configured values take effect again the next time the subdevice is opened.
To obtain the values set dynamically by your application, call SETPARAM. SCF
STATUS SU displays some of the dynamic subdevice attributes (temporarily changed by
the application using SETPARAM). SCF INFO displays the permanently configured
values, which do not reflect any changes made by SETPARAM or SETMODE calls in
your application program. For a list of the attributes that can be set or read using SCF,
SETPARAM, and SETMODE, see Tables 7-1 and 7-2 in Section 7, NonStop Kernel
File-System Interface of this manual.
For descriptions of the SETPARAM and SETMODE calls applicable to Compaq
OSI/TS, see Section 7, NonStop Kernel File-System Interface
of this manual. For
descriptions of the SCF commands for Compaq OSI/TS, refer to the OSI/TS SCF
Reference Manual.
Starting TSP Processes
TSP processes must be started from the TACL command interpreter or using a
procedure call. It is important that the process accessor ID of a TSP process be a super-
group user. For example, this is accomplished when a TSP process is started by anyone
with a super ID.
You must start the TSP processes before subdevices are configured. To start a TSP
process, use the TACL RUN command, a call to NEWPROCESS (for C-series systems),
or a call to PROCESS_CREATE_ (for D-series systems).
The syntax for the implicit RUN command to start a TSP process is as follows:
run-option-list
is one or more run options, as described in the Tandem Advanced Command
Language (TACL) Reference Manual. The following options are particularly
important when running the TSPOBJ program:
CPU integer
The primary processor in which the TSP process runs.
Note. Subdevice attribute values that are changed using SETPARAM and SETMODE are
recognized by the application only.
Note. Requests from a TSP process owned by a non-super-group user to an underlying
X25AM or TLAM/PAM subsystem causes a security violation error.
