Running TPSFL

Prior to opening the directory on a given disk, the device is again checked for

accessibility. No external sorts or programs are invoked during TPSFL execution. Each

time you execute TPSFL, it creates the reports that you specify.

Execution Timing Estimates

On an HP NonStop S70000 system, 11 volumes and a total of 24,806 files were

processed in under 60 seconds. On an HP NonStop K20000 system, 77 volumes and

a total of 62,078 files were processed in 8 minutes and 12 seconds. Other tests

performed on production systems with 56 to 72 logical disk volumes had similar

processing times. Execution should take less than 20 seconds per volume elapsed

time and less than 10 seconds of CPU busy time per volume.

Running TPSFL

You can use TPSFL on a standalone basis to produce reports and output files. Every

time you run TPSFL, it automatically generates a Volume Label report.

NAME processname

defines the process name that TPSFL will run under. processname is optional

and is two to five characters in length. The first character must be $, and the

second character must be an alpha. TPSFL will not run unless it is not started as a

named process.

OUT outfile

names the spooler collector or disk file to which your output is to be directed. For a

spooler collector (DEVICETYPE 0, SUBTYPE 31), level-3 spooling is used. For a

disk file, it can be entry-sequenced or an EDIT file (type 101).

If you do not specify an outfile, all the output is directed to your terminal.

NOWAIT

returns control to your TACL now, rather than when the process completes.

REPORTS

specifies that one or more of the following three reports on the configuration of the
