Using the Miscellaneous Configurator

To access the MISC configurator

You make all miscellaneous system configuration changes from within the MISC configurator, which is one of the SYSGEN modules. To access the MISC configurator, do the following:

When you first access the MISC configurator, you see a list of the commands available to you. To issue a command, you can either enter the full command name or the abbreviation shown in parentheses.

   sysgen>MISC 

 

          ** MISC configurator commands ** 



          drin (dr)        io              job (jo)       lrin (lr) 

          resource (re)    session (se)    show(sh)       stack (st)

          system (sy) 



          clear (cl)(c)    exit (ex)(e)     help (he)(h)    hold (ho) 

          oclose (oc)      redo 

   misc> 

To use online help

You can display helpful information about any of the MISC configurator commands on the screen. To do so, enter the HELP command at the misc> prompt in one of two forms:

To show current values

Use the SHOW command (abbreviated SH) to display one or all of the items you can configure with the MISC configurator. The syntax of the SHOW command is:

You can display one item or all items on screen, or you can print the information.

Below is an example of the kind of output you can expect.

   misc>SHOW JOB 

 

            JOB command       parameter      MAX       MIN     CURRENT 

         -----------------    ---------    -------   -------   ------- 

         DEFAULT CPU LIMIT    cputime        32767         0         0 

         MAXIMUM LIMIT        maxlimit         999         0        60 

         POOL SIZE            pool             200         1         1 

To print current values

Instead of displaying miscellaneous configuration information on screen, you can print it. To do so, add the OFFLINE parameter to the SHOW command. For example, to print information about the stacks, enter:

   misc>SHOW STACK OFFLINE

To configure I/O-related parameters

The I/O-related parameters maxdyninput and maxdynoutput parameters are currently not used. Network Services uses the maxdynio parameter; you can change it only under the direction of Hewlett-Packard.

To configure job-related limits

Use the JOB command (abbreviated JO) to configure job-related limits and default operating modes. The syntax of the command is:

For example, to change the parameter CPUTIME to 600 (using keyword parameters), enter:

   misc>JOB CPUTIME=600

Or, to change all parameters, enter:

   misc>JOB CPUTIME=500 MAXLIMIT=10 POOL=150

To enter the same command using positional parameters, enter:

   misc>JOB 500 10 150

To display resource identification numbers (RINs)

Use the LRIN command (abbreviated LR) to display RIN ownership. You can either display the information on screen or use the OFFLINE parameter to print it.

The resource ownership information you see depends on your system, but it will look similar to this:

    rin    username 

   ____  _______________

    3    MANAGER .SYS 

    148  MANAGER .QASYS 

    149  MANAGER .QASYS 

    150  MANAGER .QASYS 

To delete RINs

Use the DRIN command (abbreviated D) to delete one or more global resource identification numbers. Any changes you make take effect only if you create a system load tape and use it to update the configuration with UPDATE CONFIG or to install the system with INSTALL. The syntax of the DRIN command is:

You can delete either one RIN or a group of RINs:

To set resource allocations

Use the RESOURCE command (abbreviated RE) to allocate system resources. Any changes you make take effect only if you create a system load tape and use it to update the configuration with UPDATE CONFIG or to install the system with INSTALL.

The syntax of the RESOURCE command is:

For example, to allocate 100 global RINS, at the misc> prompt enter:

   misc>RESOURCE GRINS=100

Or, to allocate 40 global RINs and set the IO monitor area to 80 (using keyword parameters), enter:

   misc>RESOURCE GRINS=40 IOMONT=80

To allocate the same resources (using positional parameters), enter:

   misc>RE,,80 1024

To set session-related limits

Use the SESSION command (abbreviated SE) to configure session-related limits and default operating points. The syntax of the SESSION command is:

For example, to change the MAXLIMIT to 200 and the LOGONTIMEOUT to 150 (using keyword parameters), enter:

   misc>SE MAXLIMIT=200 LOGONTIMEOUT=150

To set the same limits using positional parameters, enter:

   misc>SE 200 150

To set sizes of NM and CM stacks

Use the STACK command (abbreviated ST) to configure the default sizes of the native mode (NM) and compatability mode (CM) stacks and of the heap.

The syntax of the STACK command is:

For example, to change the HEAP parameter to 600000, enter:

   misc>STACK HEAP=600000

Or, to change the stack and heap sizes (using keyword parameters), enter:

   misc>STACK NM=262144 MAXNM=262144 HEAP=600000

To make the same changes (using positional parameters), enter:

   misc>STACK 262144 262144,,,600000

To set strings and string parameters

Use the SYSTEM command (abbreviated SY) to set the logon prompt string, the command interpreter prompt string, and to set the version. The syntax of the SYSTEM command is:

For example, to change the user version to A.A1.35, enter:

   misc>SYSTEM USERVERSION=A.A1.35

	NOTE: If you change the user version, you must save it to something other than the CONFIG group in the SYS account or it will be lost. The changed USERVERSION takes effect only if you create a system load tape containing the changes and use it to update the system.

To change the command interpreter prompt from the default (:) to BORG, enter:

   misc>SY CIPROMPT=BORG

To include special characters in either the logon prompt or the command interpreter prompt, enclose them in single or double single quotes. For example:

   misc>SY LOGONPROMPT='DOUG''S' CIPROMPT='FRED''S'
