CONTROL PATHMON Command
CONTROL PATHMON Command
Use the CONTROL PATHMON command to change specific attributes of the
PATHMON process while it is running and to record the changes in the PATHMON
configuration file.
BACKUPCPU number
specifies the processor where the PATHMON backup process runs. The
PATHMON process stops its existing backup process and creates a new backup
process in the processor that you specify.
DUMP {ON | OFF}
specifies whether the PATHMON process writes the data stack information to a file
if it encounters an internal error.
If you omit this attribute, the default value is OFF.
ON
directs PATHMON to write the information in its data stack to a file and then to
set this option to OFF.
ON is the recommended setting. (The only reason not to set this attribute to
ON is the disk space required if a large number of dumps occur.)
FILE file-name
specifies the name of the file that the PATHMON process creates for its dump
operation.
If the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute of the SET PATHWAY command is set
to ON and you do not specify the node portion of file-name, the node name
defaults to a generic node name, \*, that designates whatever node the
PATHMON process is running on after cool start.
If the NODEINDEPENDENT attribute of the SET PATHWAY command is set
to OFF and you do not specify the node portion of file-name, the node
name defaults to the node the PATHMON process is running on when you
issue the CONTROL command
CONTROL PATHMON , pathmon-attribute [ , pathmon-attribute
]...
pathmon-attribute is:
BACKUPCPU number
DUMP { ON [ ( FILE file-name ) ] | OFF }
DUMPMEMORY (FILE file-name )
