SET SERVER Command
Only Guardian server processes can be run as NonStop processes. Therefore, for
Guardian server processes only, the PATHMON process passes to the server
process a PARAM message containing BACKUPCPU filled in with a 3-byte ASCII
representation of the processor number of the backup processor. Use the
GETBACKUPCPU procedure to retrieve the backup processor number from the
PARAM message. (For more information on the GETBACKUPCPU procedure,
see the COBOL Reference Manual .) The server process can then use the backup
processor as an alternate processor.
When this attribute is included as part of the PROCESS attribute specification, the
PATHMON process uses the CPUs specified for the server process. The CPUs
specified for the server process do not need to match the CPUs specified for the
server class.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
CREATEDELAY number { HRS | MINS | SECS }
specifies the maximum amount of time a link manager (that is, a TCP or LINKMON
process) waits to use an established link to a server class before requesting a new
link from the PATHMON process that controls the server class.
CREATEDELAY must be a value within one of these ranges:
0 through 16,383 SECS
0 through 1092 MINS
0 through 18 HRS
If you omit this attribute, the default is 1 MINS.
If the link manager has no established links or it calculates that a static link is
available, the link manager immediately requests a link without waiting for
CREATEDELAY to expire. If an established or newly created link becomes
available while the link manager is waiting for CREATEDELAY to expire, the link
manager immediately uses that link.
When the TCP calculates that no static link is available, it delays all future link
requests from the PATHMON process by the value of CREATEDELAY or by 60
seconds, whichever is greater.
If a LINKMON process is unable to implement a CREATEDELAY timer due to
insufficient system resources, it assumes CREATEDELAY is 0 and immediately
requests a link from the PATHMON process.
This attribute is valid for Guardian and OSS server processes.
CWD oss-pathname
specifies the absolute OSS pathname of the current working directory of an OSS
server process. This value is used to resolve relative pathnames specified for
other OSS server process attributes in the server class. Case is significant. For a
discussion, see OSS Pathnames on page 8-8.
