-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]

Displays the number of times the critical section has been through an online reinitialization.

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.
