Use this page to configure a process definition. A process definition includes the command line information necessary to start or initialize a process.
To view this administrative console page, click
. Then, in the Server Infrastructure section, click . On z/OS® you must then click Control, Servant,
or Adjunct.
For z/OS, this page provides command-line
information for starting, initializing, or stopping a process. Each
of the commands for which information is provided can be used for
the control process. Only the Start command and Start command arguments
properties apply for the servant process. Specify the commands for
the control process on one process definition panel and the commands
for the servant process on another process definition panel. Do not
specify the commands for the two different processes on the same panel.
This command line information specifies the executable name that is invoked to start the process.
For example, if you are using a perl script as a generic server, enter the path to the perl.exe module in the Executable name field, and then enter the name of the perl script, along with any arguments, in the Executable arguments field.
This field is not available for the z/OS control
process.
