VMS Help  —  RMU72  Monitor  Start  Command Qualifiers

1  –  Output

    Output=file-name

    Specifies the device, directory, and file name that receives the
    monitor log. You can use this qualifier to redirect the placement
    of your monitor log file. The default device and directory is the
    SYS$SYSTEM directory. The default log file name is RDMMON.LOG.
    The RMU Monitor Start command causes a new version of the log
    file to be created for each database session.

2  –  Priority

    Priority=integer

    Specifies the base priority of the monitor process. This priority
    should always be higher than the highest database user process
    priority.

    By default, the monitor runs at the highest interactive priority
    possible, 15. You should not normally have to lower the monitor
    process priority. If you change this to a lower priority, an
    attach operation can cause a deadlock. Deadlock occurs when
    multiple processes with higher priority than the monitor attempt
    to attach at the same time. In this case, the monitor must
    contend for CPU time with multiple higher-priority processes
    and is perpetually locked out. As a result, no one can use the
    database.

3  –  Swap

    Swap
    Noswap

    Enables or disables swapping of the monitor process. The default
    is Noswap. The Swap qualifier is not recommended for time-
    critical applications, because no one can use the database while
    the monitor process is being swapped.
