ViewPoint Enhancements
This section describes specific D-series enhancements to ViewPoint. The following are
covered:
•
New D-Series Subject Tokens Supported
•
Larger CPU/Process ID Field in the Event Configuration Screen
•
Release-Specific Information in the Event Detail Screen
•
DP Command HIGHPIN Option
•
DP Command EXTSWAP Option
•
ViewPoint Operation at a Low PIN
•
Modifications to the Default Alternate-Events Filter
New D-Series Subject Tokens Supported
The D-series enhancements include two additional unsigned integer subject tokens:
ZEMS-TKN-LDEVNUMBER and ZEMS-TKN-XSYSPID. The Subject field of the
Last Events screen is described in the subsection, “Last Events Screen” in Section 3,
Definition of ViewPoint Screens.
Larger CPU/Process ID Field in Event Configuration Screen
This field can contain a process ID consisting of cpu,pin or a process name, or it can
contain just a CPU number This field is 11 digits for D-series systems. D-series
systems support PIN values of 5 digits and CPU values of 5 digits. For more
information, see the previous subsection, “Larger CPU and PIN Values.” The
CPU/Process ID field of the Event Configuration screen is described in Section 3,
Definition of ViewPoint Screens.
Release-Specific Information in Event Detail Screen
D-series messages can contain release-specific information. For example, the message
can describe two different meanings for C-series and D-series operating systems. See
the Operator Messages: DSM Display Format manual for more details. The Event
Detail screen is described in Section 3, “Definition of ViewPoint Screens.”
DP Command HIGHPIN Option
The Define Process (DP) command has a HIGHPIN ON/OFF option for D-series
operating systems. This option has several uses; for example, it allows you to run a
high-PIN process at low PIN. The DP command is described in Section 2, Using
ViewPoint and in Section 4, Process Definition Commands.
Following is an example of using this option at the TACL prompt to run the process
APP at low PIN:
TACL> DP APP /HIGHPIN OFF/
