Altering a Generic Process
To alter a generic process configured in one or more processors, use these SCF commands in the
order indicated by the numerals in the first column of the table.
Table 11 Altering 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 put all instances of the process into the STOPPED object state (if not already
in that state)
ABORT4.
To verify that all instances of the process are in the STOPPED object stateSTATUS5.
To change the configured attributes and valuesALTER6.
To verify that the change was made as requestedINFO, DETAIL7.
To place the generic process into operationSTART8.
To verify that each instance of the generic process is in the STARTED object
state
STATUS9.
Considerations
• The ABORT command stops the generic process in each processor in which it is running.
Before altering a generic process, all instances of it must be in the STOPPED object state,
ABORTED or STOPPED substate.
• If necessary, repeat the ABORT command.
• If a STATUS command shows an object state to be ABORTING or STOPPING, wait until the
object state becomes STOPPED before entering the ALTER command.
• An unsuccessful ABORT command can cause the object state to remain as ABORTING. If a
repeated ABORT command is not successful in changing the state from ABORTING to STOPPED,
other commands will be unable to alter or delete the object. If so, you can alter the STARTMODE
(to DISABLED) to prevent the process from being restarted after the next system load.
Example
This example shows how to stop the $ZZKRN.#GP generic process. Then it shows how to change
the AUTORESTART value and restart the process.
1. View the process configuration with an INFO, DETAIL command:
-> ASSUME PROCESS $ZZKRN.#GP
-> INFO, DETAIL
NONSTOP KERNEL - Detailed Info PROCESS \EAST.$ZZKRN.#GP
