ALTER PROCESS
EXTENDEDSEGSIZE (integer1, integer2)
RESET EXTENDEDSEGSIZE
determines the size, in megabytes, of the process' extended segment. The
integer1 and integer2 values are the initial size and the growth limit,
respectively, for the extended segment. The growth limit must be equal to or
greater than the initial size and must be a multiple of the initial size. The valid
extended segment size range for most process types is 1 to 128; for exceptions
and details, see EXTENDEDSEGSIZE Option Considerations on page 3-85.
RESET EXTENDEDSEGSIZE selects the default extended segment size, a value
chosen by the process.
For the TMFMON process type, integer1 is the size of the TMFLIB segment and
integer2 has no effect. For the CATALOG process type, integer1 and
integer2 have no effect. For the TMP process type, integer1 has no effect
and integer2 is used as the initial size of the segment as described under
EXTENDEDSEGIZE Option Considerations for the TMP on page 3-87.
PFSSIZE integer
RESET PFSSIZE
identifies the size, in bytes, of the process file segment (PFS) for the process type.
On G-series systems, all processes are assigned a PFS size that can increase to a
maximum of 8 MB. If you specify the PFSSIZE or RESET PFSSIZE option in an
ALTER PROCESS command, TMF ignores your specification.
Security Restrictions
You can issue the ALTER PROCESS command only if you are a member of the super
user group. In addition, to alter the DEBUG attribute, you must be logged on under the
super ID. (The super ID is the person with the user ID 255,255−in effect, the group
manager of the super user group.)
TMF State Requirement
You can enter the ALTER PROCESS command at any time, whether or not TMF has
been started.
Usage Guidelines
You can use the ALTER PROCESS command to change the configuration currently
assigned to one or more TMF process types.
Process Types and Processes
In the ALTER PROCESS command, the process-type parameter refers to one or more
processes of a particular kind. For example, the TMFMON process type refers to all
TMFMON processes running in the system—or stated another way, all instances of the
TMFMON process. When you specify a configuration attribute for a process type, that
