PICK / D3 System Administration
Stopping the Pick/D3 Virtual Machine and shutting down your server
Shutting down the system
is a two-fold process.
First
- Pick/D3 must be shut down, and
then,
AIX / Linux must be shut down.
You must be logged on to the dm account to shut down Pick. First, check that all users are logged off the system (if possible). There may be instances when the system is hung or in a condition where it is not possible to have users log off gracefully. In that case, the shutdown will log them off, but there is a possibility of data corruption.
The command listu at TCL will list all active users on the system.
Then the shutdown command should be issued. The system will prompt for confirmation of shutdown - respond by enter ‘y’ to continue. All print jobs will be terminated, as well as all other processes. A screen similar to the one below will appear.

Disconnected from Virtual Machine 'pick0:AIX'
When
Pick has successfully shutdown you should be at the (#) prompt. If you are
returned to a
Login prompt, simply login to your Realtime server as the root user in order to
get to the (#) prompt.
Then, if necessary, you may then shutdown your AIX or Linux server as outlined
below:
For AIX:
#shutdown -F (This shuts the system down to power down.)
or
#shutdown -Fr (This shuts the
system down to reboot itself automatically.)
For LINUX: #shutdown
(This shuts the system down to power down.)
or
#reboot (This shuts
the system down to reboot itself automatically.)
PICK / D3 System Administration
Starting your server and the Pick/D3 Virtual Machine
After re-starting your AIX / Linux system and logging in as root, at the (#) prompt - type:
d3 -0 <enter>
The system will display a summary of certain PICKD3 system configuration options – you screen will look similar to this:

Options: F)ile only, A)BS only, X) eXecute. Q)uit =
Type X to execute the PICK/D3 Database and start the system running.
The following options should only be used if instructed by Realtime Software !!!
Use of these options unless instructed can result in the loss of all system data
!
Option A is used to reload the ABS (absolute frames) area. The ABS area is where the Pick virtual code resides.
Option F is used to create or restore a complete Pick file system. This option will destroy the current filesystem prior to loading on the files from the backup media, and all current data will be lost.
