New and Modified Commands
The following table summarizes the new and modified CI commands that are
available with Release 5.0 of MPE/iX. For a complete description of the
commands, refer to Chapter 5.
Table 1-2. Workload Manager and CPU Scheduling Commands
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Command | Behavior |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| ALTPROC | This command continues to allow process attributes to be set. Use |
| | the new ;WG= option to explicitly place a process in a workgroup. |
| | Such a process becomes an artificial member of the workgroup. You |
| | also use the ;WG= option to allow a process to migrate to its natural |
| | workgroup. |
| | |
| | Note that you should not use the ;PRI= option to place a process at a |
| | fixed priority. Instead, create a workgroup with the base and limit |
| | set to the desired priority value and use the ;WG= option to place |
| | the process in that workgroup. |

Table 1-2. Workload Manager and CPU Scheduling Commands (cont.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Command | Behavior |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| ALTWG | Use this new command to alter any of the scheduling characteristics |
| | of an existing workgroup, including base and limit priorities, |
| | quantum bounds, boost property, timeslice, and CPU percentages. The |
| | processes belonging to that workgroup will be scheduled in accordance |
| | with the new parameters. (To alter the name of a workgroup or its |
| | membership criteria, you must use the NEWWG command.) |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| NEWWG | Use this new command to create a new, user-defined workgroup to add |
| | to the current configuration. You can also use NEWWG to replace the |
| | current configuration with a new one. To do so, you specify an |
| | indirect file that contains the specification for the complete set of |
| | workgroups you want to use instead. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| PURGEWG | Use this command to purge the workgroup(s) specified on the command |
| | line. You may use wildcards to purge multiple workgroups and choose |
| | from a variety of prompting and display options. You also use |
| | PURGEWG to execute deferred purgescans. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| SHOWPROC | This command continues to display process attributes. A new format, |
| | DETAIL, provides information regarding the attributes that can |
| | determine workgroup membership (logon, program, subqueue) and the |
| | resulting workgroup. The DETAIL display format also distinguishes |
| | processes that are artificial members of a workgroup from natural |
| | members of the workgroup. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| SHOWQ | Use this command to display scheduling data for all processes and the |
| | scheduling characteristics of the CS_Default, DS_Default and |
| | ES_Default workgroups. This command has not been changed and the |
| | three system-defined workgroups appear as traditional scheduling |
| | subqueues in the left-most column of the STATUS display. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| SHOWWG | Use this new command to display scheduling and process data for the |
| | specified workgroup(s). The SHOWWG command supports a variety of |
| | formats including summary information on the workgroups, member |
| | processes, and detailed information. It also offers an output format |
| | that, when redirected to a file, is suitable for input to the NEWWG |
| | command. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| TUNE | You can continue to use this command to change the scheduling |
| | characteristics of the CS subqueue (CS_Default workgroup), the DS |
| | subqueue (DS_Default workgroup, and the ES subqueue (ES_Default |
| | workgroup). Or, you can use the ALTWG command to do so. You must |
| | use ALTWG to modify the scheduling characteristics of all |
| | user-defined workgroups. |
