Update System Coldload Procedures

Once you alter the database files to be audited, the NonStop AutoTMF monitor process

becomes a critical component of application availability. You must ensure that the

monitor process is started whenever system maintenance has required it to be

stopped. You should include the start of the monitor process with the other operational

steps that normally follow a system cold load.

You should start the monitor process after TMF has been started but before starting

Pathway or any application processes. Start the NonStop AutoTMF monitor process by

using the following TACL command:

The user ID required to start the monitor also must have read access to SysDB and

MapDB tables.

Install EMS templates

The file ZESCTMPL contains EMS templates for all events generated by the NonStop

AutoTMF software. Please refer to the DSM Template Services Manual for instructions

about installing system templates.

You can use the EMS filter file ESCFLTR with an EMS distributor to display NonStop

AutoTMF events.

Updating NonStop AutoTMF Software

1. Stop application programs and all processes that use the NonStop AutoTMF

runtime library. In this case, display (and optionally stop) all programs that use the

NonStop AutoTMF runtime library by using the INFO LIBRARY command.

2. Stop the NonStop AutoTMF monitor process by using the command STOP

MONITOR.

3. Replace the NonStop AutoTMF software files as described above under Install

NonStop AutoTMF Software Files.

4. If required, bind your application user libraries with the new NonStop AutoTMF

runtime library. See Combining a User Library with the NonStop AutoTMF Runtime

in Section 3, Preparing Programs.

5. If you need to preserve modification timestamps or preserve license attributes of

object files when preparing programs, perform the necessary steps to make the

new Escort CI a licensed program, as described in Preserving the Modification

Timestamp of Object Files or in Preserving License Attribute when Preparing

Privileged Programs in Section 3, Preparing Programs.

6. Install the new NonStop AutoTMF EMS templates.
