Running the Portmapper
The portmapper is a system service on which all other RPC-based services rely. It is a
registrar that keeps track of the correspondence between ports (logical
communications channels) and services on a system, and provides a standard way for
a client to look up the port number of any RPC program supported by the server. In
effect, only RPC programs use it.
To run the portmapper, use this TACL RUN command:
PORTMAP
is an implied RUN command for $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.PORTMAP, the file name of
the portmapper program.
NAME name
specifies that the portmapper is to run as a named process. The name $ZRPC is
recommended.
run-option-list
is any other valid TACL RUN option (such as CPU, NOWAIT, PRI, SWAP, and so
on).
param
is one of these permissible parameters:
SAVEABEND
specifies whether a saveabend file needs to be created. This parameter is
used for diagnosis purposes only. If used, specify this parameter before any
other parameter.
If this parameter is omitted, the portmapper process stops instead of creating
saveabend files.
[ BACKUPCPU ] cpu
specifies the number of the CPU to use as the backup CPU. You can omit the
BACKUPCPU keyword only if it is the first parameter specified. If supplied, it
