SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem

$ZZKRN
is the name of the Kernel subsystem manager process. You can use this form of object-name
in commands that operate on the Kernel subsystem manager.
$ZZKRN.#gpname
is the name of the Kernel subsystem manager process followed by a descriptive name of one
or more generic processes managed by the Kernel subsystem. The name $ZZKRN.#gpname
must form a unique name on the system. The name gpname can be up to 32 characters long.
The first character must be a letter; the other can be any of these characters:
At sign (@) Back slash (\) Caret (^) Colon (:)
Dash (-) Equal sign (=) Underscore (_) Any alphanumeric character
Supported Commands
These commands use the PROCESS object type:
ABORT ALTER INFO START VERSION
ADD DELETE NAMES STATUS
Considerations
• Wild-card support for the PROCESS object type is limited to use of the trailing asterisk (*) for
#gpname in these commands:
ABORT DELETE INFO NAMES START STATUS
• You must fully specify #gpname for the ADD, ALTER, and VERSION commands.
Supported Object States
Supported object states for the PROCESS object type are:
Has these meanings:ABORTING
• The process is in transition to the STOPPED state, ABORTED substate, because the ABORT
command was issued. The process is running but does not accept new user requests.
• An abort operation began on the process, and although the process did not stop as requested,
the process will not be started again until its processor is reloaded.
The process is running and can accept user requests.STARTED
The process definition has been added to the subsystem configuration, but the process is not running.
Use the START command to put the process in the STARTED state.
STOPPED
The process was stopped by an ABORT command. It is not running
but still exists in the subsystem configuration. Use the DELETE
command to remove the process from the subsystem configuration.
ABORTED substate
The process is not running for one of these reasons:STOPPED substate
• It was stopped outside of SCF.
• It was stopped because its processor went down.
• It was never started (or it was started while its processor was
down).
• It abended.
Examples
These object names are valid for the PROCESS object type:
$ZZKRN
$ZZKRN.#MY-PROCESS
$ZZKRN.#*
$ZZKRN.#M*
