Command
TELEX.
3-32
Response
to control point n has a queue priority greater than
MXPS. MAGNET (the magnetic tape executive)
must be active in order for tape processing to take
place. Unit numbers on tape units must not be changed
after ·MAGNET is initialized. Tape usage can be
monitored on the tape status and preview displays
(refer to description of E display in section 4).
Calls
th~
TELEX subsystem to control point 1. This
command is not valid if a job currently ass igned to
control point 1 has a queue priority greater than MXPS.
TELEX (the Time-Sharing Executive) must be
active in order to enter jobs from a time-sharing
terminal. Activity at the TELEX control point can be
monitored on the T display (refer to section 4).
Several options are available to control the operation
of TELEX. These options are selected by setting
sense switches after TELEX is activated. Although
normal operation does not require these sense switches
to be set, sense switch 5 (1. ONSW5.) is set by de-
fault when TELEX is activated. Once set, the sense
switches may be turned off again by entering 1. OFFSWx.
(x is the sense switch number).
Entry
1. ONSW1.
1. ONSW2.
1. ONSW3.
1. ONSW4.
Response
When TELEX is terminated (by
1. STOP command), enter users
into recover state and inhibit
restarting operations.
Enable TELEX to use the delay queue
feature. This allows response time
to appear more consistent to users
by delaying response in a lightly
loaded system. Analysts can set
this parameter by altering assembly
constants within TELEX.
Abort TELEX on all abnormal
conditions. This ensures that TELEX
does not continue to operate if an
internal malfunction occurs. This
may be used with sense switch 5
to enable an analyst to dete rmine
the problem. Some conditions cause
TELEX to abort even though sense
switch 3 is not set.
Verify all user's working files upon
recovery. Normally, only the user's
rollout file (file containing all cur-
rent system information) is verified
when the user recovers.
