Parameter Description Values
tracel Specifiesthe level of trace to perform for a
Process. Tracing by Processcan be turned on in
the submit command or as part of the Process
definition.
If you identify the snode or pnode
immediately after the trace level definition, the
trace level is turned on for all Processes
submitted to and from the node identified.
level=0|1|2|4
snode | pnode
file=name
level—Specifies the level of detail displayed in the
trace output. The default is 4.
0—Terminates the trace.1—The basic level that
provides function entry and function
exit.2—includes level 1 plus function
arguments.4—Enables a full trace. Basic
diagnostic information, such as values of internal
data structures at key points in the execution
flow, are displayed.
snode—Specifies to trace only the SNODE SMGR.
pnode—Specifies to trace only the PNODE SMGR.
file—Specifies the name of a file where the trace
output is directed. If you do not specify a file

Example - Submit a Process That Runs Every Week

The following command submits the Process named payroll:

submit file=payroll retain=yes startt=monday pacct=“1959,dept-27";

Because retain=yes is specified in this sample, the Process is retained in the TCQ

after execution. The Process starts next Monday at 00:00:00 and runs every Monday

thereafter. Process accounting data is specified for the PNODE.

Example - Submit a Process with a Start Time Specified

The following command submits the Process named copyfil:

submit file=copyfil snode=vmcent startt=(01/01/2008, 11:45:00 am);

Because startt is specified, the Process executes on the first day of January 2008 at

11:45 a.m.

Example - Submit a Process with No File Value

The following command submits a Process without a file parameter value, but

with the Process statements typed at the CLI command prompt:

Direct> sub do_copy process snode=node1
step01 copy from (
file=data.data
pnode
)
to (
file=b
snode
)
pend ;
Process Submitted, Process Number = 5
