Qualifiers

/I[NIT]

Reinitializes the critical section. The /INIT RESET qualifiers together cause all GT.M processes actively accessing that database file to signal an error. Do not use /INIT without the /RESET parameter when other processes are accessing the region.

/O[WNER]

Displays the ID of the process at the head of the critical section. When the current process owns the critical section, DSE displays a warning message. The /OWNER qualifier is incompatible with other qualifiers.

Example:

        DSE> critical /OWNER
        Write critical section is currently unowned
        

/REL[EASE]

Releases the critical section if the process running DSE owns the section. The /RELEASE qualifier is incompatible with other qualifiers.

/REM[OVE]

Terminates any write ownership of the critical section. Use this when the critical section is owned by a process that is nonexistent or is known to no longer be running a GT.M image. The /REMOVE qualifier is incompatible with other qualifiers.

/RES[ET]

When used without /INIT, this qualifier displays the number of times that the critical section /RESET /INIT has been executed.

Using /RESET with /INIT causes an error for processes that are attempting to get the critical section of the region. Under the guidance of Fidelity, use /RESET /INIT as a way to clear certain types of hangs. The /RESET qualifier is only compatible with the /INIT qualifier.

/S[EIZE]

Seizes the critical section if the section is available. The /SEIZE qualifier is incompatible with other qualifiers.
