TCPIPPROCESSNAME

Valid for

Manager, Extract

Description

Use TCPIPPROCESSNAME to specify a TCP/IP process other than the default. For Manager this is the process it uses to listen for requests coming from other systems. For Extract this specifies the process for data transfer.

Selection Hierarchy for Manager

Manager selects the option to use based on this hierarchy:

  1. Stand-alone parameter TCPIPPROCESSNAME entry in the Manager parameter file

  2. DEFINE =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME added before the Manager process was started

  3. GLOBALS entry for TCPIPPROCESSNAME

  4. Default $ZTC0

Selection Hierarchy for Extract

There are other ways to specify the TCPIPPROCESSNAME when the NonStop TCP/IP process name is not $ZTC0. When assigning a process name, Extract selects the option to use based on this hierarchy:

  1. RMTHOST TCPIPPROCESSNAME option in the Extract parameter file

  2. Stand-alone parameter TCPIPPROCESSNAME entry in the Extract parameter file before the RMTHOST entry.

  3. DEFINE =TCPIP^PROCESS^NAME added before the Extract process was started

  4. GLOBALS entry for TCPIPPROCESSNAME

  5. MGR's entry for TCPIPPROCESSNAME when process is started from GGSCI

  6. Default $ZTC0

You can include additional TCPIPPROCESSNAME entries for Extract. With a RMTHOSTALT address and TCPIPSWITCHERRS, Extract will change both the backup TCP/IP process and the destination IP address after the specified number of retries. Refer to RMTHOSTALT on page "RMTHOSTALT" for an example.

Default

$ZTC0

Syntax

TCPIPPROCESSNAME process_name [@ip_address]
process_name

A valid HP NonStop TCP/IP process name.

ip_address

Restricts the process to the specified IP address.

Examples

Example 1

The following Extract parameter setting will cause data to be output over TCP/IP process $ZTC4 instead of the default $ZTC0. 

TCPIPPROCESSNAME $ZTC4

Example 2

The following Extract parameter setting will cause data to be output over TCP/IP process $ZTC4 using the IP address 2001:db8:2010:5040:4fff:ffff:ffff:28. 

TCPIPPROCESSNAME $ZTC4@2001:db8:2010:5040:4fff:ffff:ffff:28
