Library /sys$common/syshlp/SYSMANHELP.HLB  —  DUMP_PRIORITY, ADD  and  Integrity
    On Alpha and Integrity servers, adds an entry to the System Dump
    Priority registry file.

    The registry data file is the permanent database that survives
    reboots. It is loaded into memory during a boot. (You can use the
    DUMP_PRIORITY LOAD command at any time to load the contents of
    this file into memory.)

    When you add an entry to the registry file, you must specify
    both the process name and UIC. If you attempt to add an entry
    that already exists, the system displays the following message:
    "SMI-I-SDPDUPIGN, duplicate record creation ignored."

    How Dump Priority Works

    BUGCHECK uses the loaded contents of the System Dump Priority
    registry to select priority processes to dump early on during a
    selective dump. Adding a dump priority for a process increases
    the likelihood that the process will be included in a dump, if
    there is insufficient space for all processes. (The ADD command
    only adds an entry to the System Dump Priority registry permanent
    file. For BUGCHECK to be able to see the entry, you must also
    enter a DUMP_PRIORITY LOAD command.)

    BUGCHECK also keeps its own in-memory hardcoded list of priority
    processes, which are always treated as priority processes, even
    if the System Dump Priority registry is empty. These processes
    are the following:

    Process Name     UIC

    MSCPmount        [1,4]
    AUDIT_SERVER     [1,4]
    NETACP           [1,4]
    NET$ACP          [1,3]
    REMACP           [1,3]
    LES$ACP          [1,4]

    Note that you cannot see, change, or delete these default
    processes with DUMP_PRIORITY commands.

    If you enter a process into the System Dump Priority registry,
    that process is dumped earlier, because user-specified priority
    processes are dumped before processes that are hardcoded into
    BUGCHECK.

    Keep in mind that BUGCHECK keeps track of the processes that have
    been dumped, so that no process is dumped twice.
