RUN Command
Startup Parameters
The startup parameters can be specified in the RUN command for SNAX Creator-2 or
in PARAM statements before the RUN command. The startup parameters for SNAX
Creator-2 are as follows:
[ , [ BACKUPCPU ] n ]
[ , COLLECTOR [ filename ] ]
[ , COLLECTOR- n [ filename ] ]
[ , CONFIG filename ]
[ , { LOG | LOGFILE } [ { filename | * }] ]
[ , SWAPVOL disk-name ]
BACKUPCPU
specifies the identity of the backup CPU. Valid values are integers from -1
through 15. The value -1 indicates that no backup CPU is to be initiated.
However, you may not specify the number of the CPU in which the primary
process is currently running.
In the first position, this parameter can also be specified without the keyword. For
example, the following specifications are equivalent:
BACKUPCPU 7,…
7,…
The abbreviated form is defined so that the conventional startup sequence is
supported:
RUN /xxx, CPU 2/3, …
If you specify a nonexistent CPU, a warning message is received and the SNAX
Creator-2 process abends.
The default value is -1.
COLLECTOR [ filename ]
specifies the identity of the primary event collector. If this parameter is omitted,
the collector named $0 on the local node is used. If the parameter is used without
any specified value, output to the primary event collector is suppressed.
The default value is $0.
COLLECTOR- n [ filename ]
(standing for COLLECTOR-1, COLLECTOR-2, and COLLECTOR-3) specify the
identity of alternate event collectors #1, #2, and #3 respectively. If any of these
