Enabling DECdtm Services

Enable DECdtm services only if you have previously disabled them and you now want to run software that uses DECdtm services.

How to Perform This Task

Deassign the logical name SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT:
```
$ DEASSIGN/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT
```
In an OpenVMS Cluster, use SYSMAN to deassign SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT clusterwide.

Start up the DECdtm services process, TP_SERVER:
```
$ @SYS$STARTUP:DECDTM$STARTUP.COM
```
In an OpenVMS Cluster, use SYSMAN to start up the TP_SERVER process clusterwide.

Edit the SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM command procedure to delete the SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT definition. This ensures that DECdtm services start automatically when you boot the system.

Example

This example shows how to enable DECdtm services in a cluster environment.

Deassign SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT, then start up the TP_SERVER process.

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER
SYSMAN> DO DEASSIGN/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT
SYSMAN> DO @SYS$STARTUP.DECDTM$STARTUP.COM
SYSMAN> EXIT

Edit the SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM command procedure to delete the SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT definition.
