CONTROL TCP Command
BACKUPCPU number
specifies the CPU where the TCP backup process runs. The TCP primary process
stops its existing backup process and creates a new backup in the CPU that you
specify.
If the CPU you specify for the BACKUPCPU attribute is the CPU where the backup
process currently resides, the TCP still stops its backup process and starts a new
backup process in the same CPU.
DUMP { ON | OFF }
specifies whether the TCP performs a memory dump if it encounters an internal or
fatal error.
If you omit this attribute, the default is OFF.
ON
directs the TCP to create one or more disk files and write the contents of its
data stack and its extended data segment to these files.
After creating 10 primary process and 10 backup process dump files, the TCP
stops performing memory dumps. This prevents writing over existing dump
files that may indicate the original cause of a problem, and prevents filling a
disk with dump files.
FILE file-name
specifies the name of the file that the TCP creates for its dump operation. The
format of the file name can be any of the following:
[\node.]$volume.subvolume
[\node.]$volume.subvolume.ZZ
[\node.]$volume.subvolume.filename
\node can be either a specific node name or \*, a generic name representing
the node on which the PATHMON process is currently running.
For example, the following file name directs the TCP to create the appropriate
ZZTCPnnP or ZZTCPnnB file on volume $DATA using subvolume
TCP05DMP:
(FILE $DATA.TCP05DMP)
(FILE $DATA.TCP05DMP.ZZ)
The following unique name for file-name, directs the primary TCP to name
its dump file TCP05P and directs the backup TCP to name its dump file
TCP05B:
(FILE $DATA.PWAYDMPS.TCP05)
Note. The value defined for the CONTROL TCP DUMP attribute overrides the value
defined in the SET TCP DUMP attribute.
