Session

General settings that control the execution of CHARON-AXP belong to an object called the "session". It is a preloaded object; therefore, only "set" commands apply. 

Example:

set session <parameter>=<value>

The following sections describe all available "session" parameters, their meaning and examples of their usage:

hw_model

Parameter

hw_model

Type

Text string

Value

Virtual Alpha system hardware model to be emulated.

Use a named template for each model as a starting point for a custom configuration. This would ensure that this parameter is set correctly.

Example:

set session hw_model="AlphaServer_ES40"

Available models are:

AlphaServer_AS400
AlphaServer_AS800
AlphaServer_AS1000
AlphaServer_AS1000A
AlphaServer_AS1200
AlphaServer_AS2000
AlphaServer_AS2100
AlphaServer_AS4000
AlphaServer_AS4100
AlphaServer_DS10
AlphaServer_DS10L
AlphaServer_DS15
AlphaServer_DS20
AlphaServer_DS25
AlphaServer_ES40
AlphaServer_ES45
AlphaServer_GS80
AlphaServer_GS160
AlphaServer_GS320

Refer to this section to find how to set a particular Alpha model supported by CHARON-AXP.

configuration_name

Parameter

configuration_name

Type

Text string

Value

Name of the CHARON-AXP instance (it must be unique).

In most cases this is set to the local machine name (TCPIP node identifier for example).

set session configuration_name="MSCDV1"

The value of this parameter is used as a prefix to the event log file name. (see below).

From the example above, the CHARON-AXP log file will have the following name:

MSCDV1-YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss-xxxxxxxxx.log

xxxxxxxxx is an increasing decimal number starting from 000000000 to separate log files with the same time of creation (in case the log is being written faster than one log file per second).

It is highly recommended to use the "configuration_name" parameter if more than one CHARON instance runs on the same server.

 

log

Parameter

log

Type

Text string

Value

The log file or directory name is where the log file for this CHARON-AXP session is stored.
