Specify the ETX VPCLASS

The filtering routines execute in their own virtual processor called ETX, not in the CPU virtual processor. To start an ETX virtual processor, add the following line to the onconfig file and restart the database server with the oninit utility: 
VPCLASS ETX,noyield,num=XXX
where XXX is the maximum number of ETX virtual processors you want to run. You might run more than one ETX virtual processor so that more than one user can use the filtering capability at a time.

You do not need to know how to configure or use the filter server. It is described in this section for your information only.

Each ETX virtual processor starts its own filter server. If you start four ETX virtual processors, you might also have a maximum of four filter servers running. The filter servers run on the same computer as the database server.
