In this example, if processor 0 is up, the primary process starts there and starts the backup process
in processor 1 when processor 1 is available. If processor 0 is down, the primary process starts
in processor 1 and starts the backup process in processor 0 when processor 0 is available.
This STATUS display shows that the primary process was started in processor 0 and the backup
process was started in processor 1 with this command:
-> STATUS PROCESS $ZZKRN.#PROC-B, DETAIL
NONSTOP KERNEL - Detailed Status Process \EAST.$ZZKRN.#PROC-B

Starting a Generic Process
To start a generic process configured in one or more processors, you use the commands listed in
this table in the order indicated by the numerals in first column.
Table 10 Starting a Generic Process
PurposeSCF Command
To view the configured attributes and valuesINFO, DETAIL1.
To display the current object state of each instance of the generic processSTATUS2.
(optional) To allow time for SCF to receive complete results on the starting of
a process group
TIMEOUT3.
To place the generic process into operationSTART4.
To verify that each instance of the generic process is in the STARTED object
state
STATUS5.
Example
This example shows how to check the attributes of the $ZZKRN.#GP generic process. It also shows
how to start the process and display its status.
1. After adding a generic process configured to run in four processors, verify the attributes by
examining an INFO, DETAIL display. For example:
-> INFO PROCESS $ZZKRN.#GP, DETAIL
NONSTOP KERNEL - Detailed Info PROCESS \EAST.$ZZKRN.#GP
*AutoRestart...............0
