SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem

STOPMODE { SPI | STANDARD | SYSMSG }
specifies what method the $ZPM persistence manager should use when aborting the generic
process. The default value is STANDARD.
stops the generic process by sending it a SPI STOP command (as defined in the SPI Common
Extensions Manual).
SPI
stops the generic process by using the PROCESS_STOP_ procedure (as defined in the Guardian
Procedure Calls Reference Manual).
STANDARD
stops the generic process by sending it an internal system message.SYSMSG
TYPE { FOXMON | SUBSYSTEM-MANAGER | OTHER }
specifies the type of generic process being added. The default value is OTHER.
specifies that this process is a FOX monitor process, as described in the
ServerNet/FX Adapter Configuration and Management Manual.You cannot
FOXMON
use the ALTER command to change the TYPE to or from FOXMON. Instead,
you must delete and re-add the process.
specifies that this process is a subsystem manager process, and that it
participates in the $ZPM reload check-in protocol. Note that $ZZLAN and
SUBSYSTEM-MANAGER
$ZZFOX are exceptions; their TYPE values are OTHER and FOXMON,
respectively.
specifies that this process is not a subsystem manager process or FOXMON
process.
OTHER
USERID { groupname.username | groupnum,usernum }
specifies the creator access ID under which this process executes. USERID must specify an
existing operating system user ID.
The user ID of the current SCF session determines what user IDs can be configured:
• For the super ID (255,255), the user ID can be set to any user on the system.
• For any other super-group user (255,n), the user ID is set to the user ID of the current SCF
session. (This value is the default.)
Considerations
• For information on how to use the ADD PROCESS command, see “Adding a Generic Process”
(page 49).
• If you enter a CONFIRM ON command (described in the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series
RVUs or the SCF Reference Manual for J-Series and H-Series RVUs) before the ADD command,
SCF displays this message in response to a successful ADD command:
Add accepted by KERNEL: PROCESS \system.$ZZKRN.#newprocess
• After adding a generic process, SCF places it in the STOPPED object state. Use the 115) to
start the process.
• If you receive a warning message in response to an ADD command, SCF has accepted the
command attributes (unless you also receive an error message in response to the same
command). To correct or change an attribute (concerning the warning message), use the ALTER
command.
• If $ZZKRN cannot find a specified file on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM, it then searches for the file on
the current $SYSTEM.SYSnn. This search algorithm allows you to change the operating system
version yet keep the same attribute values for a process.
