PPD Command
PPD Command
Use the PPD (process-pair directory) command to display the names, cpu,pin
designations, and ancestors of one or more processes in the destination control table
(DCT). The PPD command is an alias for the #XPPD built-in function.
OUT list-file
specifies a device, or a sequential file accessible to the sequential I/O (SIO) facility,
that is to receive the output from PPD. If you omit this option, TACL writes the
listing to its current OUT file.
If you specify an OUT file that does not exist, TACL creates an EDIT file named
list-file. If you specify an OUT file that already exists, TACL appends the
information to the end of the file.
\node-name
is the system where the process resides.
$process-name
is the name of the process or process pair.
cpu,pin
is the CPU number and process identification number of the process.
*
displays information about all processes, including I/O processes. (This applies to
D-series or later systems only.)
Considerations
•
If you do not specify a process ($process-name or cpu,pin), PPD lists all the
current entries in the process-pair directory of the specified system. If you omit the
node name, the default system is assumed.
•
If you specify more than one process, PPD lists information for each process.
•
The PPD command displays information as shown:
Name Primary Backup Ancestor
pname pcpu bcpu aid
pname pcpu bcpu aid
PPD [ / OUT list-file / ]
[ [ \node-name] [.{ $process-name | cpu,pin | * } ] ...]
