Process Management Programmer's Guide (32650-90023) is written for an experienced programmer who has a working knowledge of MPE/iX and is familiar with:
At least one programming language
Compiling, linking, and executing a program on MPE/iX
This manual contains detailed instructions describing how you can improve the performance of your program when you use system intrinsics that take advantage of MPE/iX process management capabilities. Intrinsics are available to create processes, manage processes, and delete processes.
This manual also describes how you can manage interactive sessions on MPE/iX by using system intrinsics to programmatically create and abort sessions.
This manual is part of the MPE/iX Programmer's Series that consists of the MPE
XL Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90028) and a set of task-oriented
programmer's guides. Refer to the MPE/iX Programmer's Series Documentation Map
for an illustration of how this manual relates to the rest of the series.
This manual contains the following chapters:
- Chapter One
Processes and Process Management describes processes and process management under MPE/iX, and introduces system intrinsics that enable your program to perform process management tasks. This chapter also introduces session management intrinsics available on MPE/iX.
- Chapter Two
Process Management Tasks describes various ways you can use MPE XL process management intrinsics to create, activate, suspend, interrogate, and delete processes in MPE/iX.
- Chapter Three
Deadlock Considerations describes the conditions that can cause deadlock within your program or between different jobs/sessions.
- Chapter Four
Managing a Session Programmatically describes how you can programmatically create or abort an interactive session.
