Changing Backup CPUs and Dump Files
Altering Objects
You can alter SERVER, TCP, TERM, and PROGRAM objects by entering the ALTER
command for the specified object type.
Before using the ALTER command for a SERVER object, you must freeze and stop the
SERVER with the FREEZE and STOP commands, respectively. These example
changes the priority at which the server runs:
= FREEZE SERVER SALES
= STOP SERVER SALES
= ALTER SERVER SALES PRI 50
= THAW SERVER SALES
= START SERVER SALES
Deleting Objects
You can delete SERVER, TCP, TERM, and PROGRAM objects by entering the
DELETE command for the object type you wish.
In response to the DELETE command, the PATHMON process removes the object
definition from the PATHMON configuration file.
Before using the DELETE command for a SERVER, you must freeze and stop the
SERVER by using the FREEZE and STOP commands, respectively.
To delete the server class named SALES, you enter:
= FREEZE SERVER SALES
= STOP SERVER SALES
= DELETE SERVER SALES
Changing Backup CPUs and Dump Files
Although you must stop most PATHMON-controlled objects before you change their
attributes, you can change three attributes for the PATHMON process while it is
running:
•
The backup processor for the process
•
The destination file for the memory dump written by the process, if the process
encounters an internal or fatal error
•
The LOG file
To change the backup processor for the PATHMON process in a multiprocessor
system, you enter the CONTROL PATHMON command. For instance, to change the
backup processor for the PATHMON process to processor 6, enter:
= CONTROL PATHMON, BACKUPCPU 6
In response, the PATHMON process stops its backup process and creates a new
backup process in the processor that you specify.
