Creating OpenVMS Process Servers

Note: OpenVMS Process Servers are available only if your license includes a non-zero value for the key ProcessServerService.VMS.limit. Process Servers that include the DCL Definition Type are not counted towards the ProcessServerService.OS.limit and ProcessServerService.External.limit license keys.

VMS processes are executed by a Platform Agent, which executes the code in each Process Definition in a specific environment as a specific user. VMS processes contain DCL script source. Only Process Definitions that specify the DCL Definition Type can run on OpenVMS Platform Agents.

The installation script for Platform Agent installers is named individually for each combination of OS and platform, as follows: openvms-<cpu>.zip.

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

Creating the Process Server

Before you create the Process Server, you must install the Platform Agent. Once the Platform Agent is running, you can go to RunMyJobs and create a Process Server.
