note

OpenVMS process servers are only available when your license includes a non-zero value for the key ProcessServerService.VMS.limit. Process servers that include the DCL job definition type will not be counted towards the ProcessServerService.OS.limit and ProcessServerService.External.limit license keys.

VMS processes are executed by a platform agent. It executes the code in the process definition in a specific environment as a specific user.

The platform agent may run on the same machine as the server, or on any other machine on the network. VMS processes contain DCL script source: only process definitions that specify the DCL definition type can run on OpenVMS platform agents (and only there).

The installation script is named individually for each Operating System / platform combination as follows: openvms-<cpu>.zip.

Platform independent configuration instructions can be found in the Configuring Platform Agents section.

HP OpenVMS process servers require the following key:

ProcessServerService.VMS.limit - the total number of VMS process servers

Installing the platform agent

You must install a small agent called the platform agent on every HP OpenVMS system where you want to schedule Redwood Server processes. Read Installing the Platform Agent on HP OpenVMS for detailed instructions.

Creating the Process Server

Once the platform agent is running you can go to the scheduler UI and configure a process server that will contact the platform agent.

Information on the required values for the creation of HP OpenVMS process servers can be found in the Configuration Data for Creating HP OpenVMS Process Servers section of the documentation.
