Command Definitions A-B
ALTPROC
Operation Notes
To execute the ALTPROC command, you must have System Supervisor (OP) or System
Manager (SM) capability. SM capability is necessary to alter system processes, for the WG=
option, for certain specifications to the PRI option, and to increase a process' priority above
MAXPRI. You may issue the ALTPROC command from a session, job, program, or while in
BREAK. Pressing
Break aborts the execution of this command.
Example
To alter process 605, and its current descendants, so that their priorities execute within
the DS_Default workgroup, enter:
:ALTPROC #p605; tree; wg=DS_Default
To alter process 605, and its current descendants, so that their scheduling queue attribute
is DS, enter:
:ALTPROC #p605; tree; pri=DS
The outcome of this command is not necessarily identical to the outcome achieved with the
previous command. If the system was configured with a user-defined workgroup that
captured the processes (MEMB_QUEUE=DS and a match on other membership attributes, if
specified), then the processes would be a member of the user-defined workgroup rather
than the DS_Default workgroup.
To alter all job processes to the CS_Default workgroup, enter:
:ALTPROC job=@j; wg=CS_Default; anyuser
To return the processes modified by the previous example to their natural workgroup(s),
enter:
:ALTPROC job=@j; wg=NATURAL_WG; anyuser
To alter all job processes matching the user's name to the CS_Default workgroup, enter:
:ALTPROC job=@j; wg=CS_Default; user
To alter the current process' priority so that it behaves like a CS queue manager (SM
capability required), enter:
:ALTPROC 0;pri=CM
To alter all processes logged on as mgr.payroll to linear 155 (SM capability required),
enter:
:ALTPROC job=mgr.payroll; pri=155
To alter the queue attribute of pins 150, 247, 211 to be ES, enter:
:ALTPROC (150,#p247,211); pri=ES
