ALTER TMF
(Pages 3-94 through 3-95)
The ALTER TMF command changes the TMF configuration volume, switches the
functions of the TMP’s primary and backup processes, or changes the audit-trail files
from format 1 to format 2 or from format 2 to format 1.
CONFIGVOL volume
specifies the name of the volume that contains the configuration files to be used in
the next TMF startup. The volume must be accessible by the TMFMON2 process,
which creates other TMF processes during TMF startup.
SWITCHPROCESS TMP
switches the function of the TMP’s primary and backup processes, effectively
changing the primary process to the backup and vice-versa.
ATFORMAT format
converts the format to be used for all future audit-trail files. The value of format
can be either 1 for format 1 files or 2 for format 2 files.
Security Restrictions
You can use the ALTER TMF command only if you are a member of the super user
group.
TMF State Requirement
Before you can enter the ALTER TMF command with the CONFIGVOL volume option
or the ATFORMAT format option, TMF must be stopped. However, you can enter the
ALTER TMF command with the SWITCHPROCESS TMP option at any time, whether
or not TMF is running.
Usage Guidelines
With the ALTER TMF command, you can select any of three operations: changing the
TMF configuration volume, switching the TMP’s primary and backup processes, or
changing the format to be used for future audit-trail files. However, in each ALTER
TMF command, you can select only one of these operations; you must enter a
separate command for each option you wish to set.
