Configuring an Alternate MapDB
Create an alternate MapDB
Use the CREATE MAPDB command specifying the alternate monitor process name.
For example, to create a test MapDB that is called TSTMAPDB and uses the monitor
$ZTST:
Associate the alternate MapDB and monitor with programs
There are 3 ways to tell programs, through the AutoTMF runtime, to use an alternate
monitor:

Create an edit file called ESCMONAM containing the name of the alternate
monitor. The file must reside in the subvolume where the NonStop AutoTMF library
resides. If programs have a user library that contains the AutoTMF runtime,
ESCMONAM must reside in the subvolume where your user library resides. This is
the simplest method to specify an alternate monitor process name. However, note
that, if the
=_ESCORT_MONITOR define has been added (method described
below), it overrides the monitor name specified in the ESCMONAM file.

Add the =_ESCORT_MONITOR define prior to executing prepared programs that
will use the alternate monitor process. The monitor name specified with this define
overrides the monitor name specified in the ESCMONAM file.

Add a special procedure into the AutoTMF runtime to hard-code the name of the
monitor into the runtime. This method is considered a “legacy” method, as it can
only be used with TNS and TNS/R programs. Moreover, the code change must be
performed every time a new version of AutoTMF is installed. See
Hard-Coding
Monitor Name into the Runtime on page A-11 below for details.
For the NonStop AutoTMF command interpreter, there are 2 additional ways to use an
alternate monitor process:

Specify the monitor process name on the run command.
