Process Options and Startup Parameters
OUT filename
provides the default log file name. For important considerations affecting LOG file
selection, see Selecting a Log File on page B-7.
If you omit the OUT option, the command interpreter assigns a default logging file,
usually the home terminal.
If you include the OUT option but but do not specify a file name, logging is not
performed.
If the OUT option is followed by a file name, logging output goes to that file.
PRI priority
specifies the execution priority of the process.
SWAP volname
specifies the disk volume on which the process data area is swapped. If omitted,
the volume containing the program file is used. This volume is also used for
extended memory swapping if the SWAPVOL startup parameter is omitted.
TERM hometerm
specifies the home terminal. Processes based on the ZCMK definitions use the
home terminal as an emergency output device. If abnormal conditions require
termination of the process, a message is delivered, if possible, to the logging file. If
the logging file is inaccessible, the message is delivered to the home terminal. In
addition, certain errors detected during process startup (before the logging file is
known) are delivered to the home terminal. For these reasons, the home terminal
should be a device to which emergency messages can be delivered.
[BACKUPCPU] cpunum
specifies the backup CPU for a fault-tolerant process pair. Select cpunum from:
You can omit the keyword if this parameter is the first in the parameter string (the
first value following the closing slash of the run options).
BACKUPDEBUG value
specifies whether the backup process should be initiated with debugging enabled.
Takeover cannot occur. Enable this parameter only with the help of a Compaq
service provider.
A value of TRUE, SET, ON, or YES enables debugging.
A value of FALSE, RESET, OFF, or NO disables debugging.
-1 Requests that no backup process be initiated (default)
0…15 Specifies a backup CPU, which must differ from the primary CPU
