TMFCOM Commands

ALTER PROCESS
To correct this situation, you can use the TERM option in the ALTER PROCESS
command as follows, with hometerm indicating a valid home terminal to be used by the
TMP and TMFMON2 process types in TMF:
ALTER PROCESS (TMFMON2, TMP), TERM hometerm
Examples
The following ALTER PROCESS command alters the configuration of the catalog
process type so that processes of this type run on CPUs 0 and 1:
TMF 62> ALTER PROCESS CATALOG, CPUS (0,1)
The next command specifies that all backout processes run on CPU 1:
TMF 63> ALTER PROCESS BACKOUT, CPUS 1
The following command specifies that online dump processes should run at a priority of
160:
TMF 64> ALTER PROCESS ONLINEDUMP, PRI 160
The following command sets the initial size of the extended segment for each backout
process to 6 MB, and the growth limit for this segment to 42 MB:
TMF 65> ALTER PROCESS BACKOUT, EXTENDEDSEGSIZE (6,42)
The next command enables the INSPECT debug program for volume recovery
processes, causes debug mode to be enabled whenever a volume recovery process
starts, and causes the process to generate a saveabend file when terminating
abnormally:
TMF 66> ALTER PROCESS VOLUMERECOVERY, INSPECT ON, DEBUG ON, &
>>>MAKESAVEABEND ON
The following command changes the home terminal for file recovery processes to
$TERM07:
TMF 67> ALTER PROCESS FILERECOVERY, TERM $TERM07
Note. Altering the backout process’ processor attribute limits the initiation of backout
processes to the processors specified in the CPUS option list. On configurations with multiple
processors, this action can cause multiple backout processes to run in a single processor.
When the backout process CPU attribute is set to the default value, the allocation of
processors for backout processes is dynamic. See the description of the CPUS parameter,
and the discussion CPU Option Considerations
on page 3-84, for further information.
