Configuring and Using an Alternate NonStop
AutoTMF Environment
In general, processes executing when the monitor is stopped will operate as if NonStop
AutoTMF software were not installed. No automatic transaction management will
occur. If a program attempts to access an audited file without a transaction, it will
typically encounter an error and fail.
In normal situations, the monitor process should be stopped only after all programs
that access audited files have been stopped.
The STOP MONITOR command should be used to stop the monitor.
Configuring and Using an Alternate NonStop
AutoTMF Environment
You may configure an alternate NonStop AutoTMF software environment for the
following reasons:
•
If you need to test or run different versions of NonStop AutoTMF software on the
same system.
•
If the different groups or applications require different NonStop AutoTMF file and
program attributes.
To create an alternate environment, you must configure an alternate monitor and
MapDB, as described below in
Configuring an Alternate SysDB . You can also define
default global values that apply to this alternate environment by configuring LOCAL
parameters.
You do not need to configure separate NonStop AutoTMF software environments for
performance reasons. Unlike other subsystems, there are no significant limits to the
number of programs, users, database files, and so on, that can be handled efficiently
with a single NonStop AutoTMF software environment.
If you configure the alternate environment to test or run a different version of NonStop
AutoTMF, you also must install the alternate version of AutoTMF software in a separate
subvolume as described below in
Installing an Alternate Version of NonStop AutoTMF
Software
If the environments need to be completely segregated, you may also configure a
separate SysDB and MapDB. See
Configuring an Alternate SysDB below.
Installing an Alternate Version of NonStop AutoTMF Software
If you wish to run different versions of NonStop AutoTMF software on your system, you
first must install the alternate version in its own product subvolume. Run the INSTALL
macro from the installation subvolume that contains the desired version, specifying the
