Changing Swap Volumes
Changing Swap Volumes
This field is not used, but you can provide it for informational purposes. If supplied, the
swap file must be on the same system as the process being created. If the supplied
name is in local form, the system where the process is created is assumed. Processes
swap to a file that is managed by the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF). For
more information about this facility, refer to the Kernel-Managed Swap Facility (KMSF)
Manual. Note that if you do include the SWAP parameter in an ALTER PROCESS
command, the SWAP parameter must specify a valid volume name even though it is
ignored.
Enabling or Disabling Inspect and Debug
You can enable or disable debug mode for particular TMF processes, and specify the
desired debug program (Inspect or Debug), by using the INSPECT, DEBUG, and
MAKESAVEABEND options in an ALTER PROCESS command.
You should do this only under special circumstances, at the direction of your service
provider.
The default is debug mode disabled.
The INSPECT option, if present, specifies that you want to use the Inspect program
(omitting the option designates the Debug program).
The DEBUG option, if present, specifies that you want debug mode to be on as soon
as the process is created and started (omitting the option designates that you want
debug mode enabled only if the process terminates abnormally).
The MAKESAVEABEND option, if present, specifies that you want a saveabend file
created (preserving the context) if the process terminates abnormally. This option
requires use of the Inspect program; it is ignored if you omit the INSPECT option.
Changing Home Terminals
You can change the home terminal for particular TMF processes by using the TERM
option in an ALTER PROCESS command. By default, TMF processes use the system
console as their home terminal. Someone using a debug program in conjunction with
a TMF process, however, might want to temporarily change the home terminal for that
process to a terminal that is easier to use than the system console.
Caution. Consider the operations and values described in the following discussion very
carefully, because the basis for them is subject to ongoing change. If such changes were
implemented in TMF since this manual was published with RVU G06.26, they will be described
in TMF Supplement for Limits and Defaults Changed After RVU G06.26. If that Supplement
currently exists, please read it for new information about this topic.
