3. Start other TRANSFER servers including A-STATS.
The A-STATS server, which uses the SPREP program, can be started whenever
other TRANSFER servers are. The A-STATS server should have the following
values set:
MAXSERVERS = 1
AUTORESTART = 0
When A-STATS stops, do not restart it unless an error was printed to its OUT file.
In this case, fix the error and restart A-STATS. (If the A-STATS server is restarted
after a successful run from XCOOL, the SPREP program detects that it does not
need to run again and stops itself.)
If an error 6127
Problem getting statistics configuration
occurs in the course of running TRANSFER, you must set an additional parameter
before running SPREP as described. Error 6127 indicates a problem with one of the
timestamps used during statistics calculation, either because the Tandem system date
and time is wrong or because it was previously set incorrectly and was used as part of
statistics keeping.
To correct this problem, stop TRANSFER and reset the system time and date if
necessary. Include the additional parameter, TIMEWASRESET, in your TRANSFER
cool-start file:
1> PARAM TIMEWASRESET "Y"
2> RUN SPREP ...
. . . .
7> CLEAR PARAM TIMEWASRESET
Note You can alternatively include TIMEWASRESET as an argument to XCOOL, as described in the preceding
discussion of the XCOOL program.
