Inspect/eInspect Processing Considerations

Changing the value of the AUTOMATIC-INSPECT-PROCESSING parameter online

can create unexpected situations as in this scenario:

AUTOMATIC-INSPECT-PROCESSING Parameter value is ON.

VHS has two Inspect/eInspect openers:

•

Inspect/eInspect #1 has 1 application to handle.

•

Inspect/eInspect #2 has 2 applications to handle:

The value of the parameter is changed to OFF via the VHSCI.

A new application traps into Inspect/eInspect. The application is dispatched to

Inspect/eInspect #2, which already opens VHS. Because the Inspect/eInspect opener

is not a new one, the value of the parameter won’t be in effect for the new application.

This means that the new application will be handled automatically by VHS instead of

going into the Prompt file to be handled by the user.

VHS Inspect File

You configure the VHS Inspect/eInspect processing via the VHS Inspect file

(VHSINSP). When receiving an Inspect/eInspect message, VHS tries to match the

application information with the information contained in the VHSINSP file.

The VHSINSP file is composed of:

•

Section keywords such as PROCESS/EPROCESS,

PROGRAMFILE/EPROGRAMFILE, and LANGUAGE/ELANGUAGE

•

Section names such as process name, program file name, and language name

•

Inspect/eInspect commands.

Each section is delimited by a section keyword. A name is expected on the same line

as the keyword.

For the keyword PROCESS/EPROCESS, a process name is expected, for the

keyword PROGRAMFILE/EPROGRAMFILE, a program file name (object file name) is

expected, and for the keyword LANGUAGE/ELANGUAGE, a language name is

expected. Each section contains all the Inspect commands to be executed for the

specific process name, program file name, or for the language of the application

trapped into Inspect. The first section matching the application information is used by

VHS, and only one section is used per application. A section can be used for many

applications.

Note. The eInspect debugger and the keywords, EPROCESS, EPROGRAMFILE,

ELANGUAGE are supported only on systems running H-series RVUs.
