Tools for Configuration and Management
Tandem SNA products support, to varying degrees, Tandem’s Distributed Systems
Management (DSM) architecture. In DSM:
•
Resources can be configured and managed interactively using the Subsystem
Control Facility (SCF) or programmatically using the Subsystem Programmatic
Interface (SPI). SCF supersedes the Communications Management Interface (CMI).
•
Event messages are sent to the Event Management Service (EMS) for filtering and
forwarding.
•
Trace records are formatted using the PTrace utility.
Table 6-1
shows DSM support and other tools for configuring and managing Tandem
SNA products.
Communications products that support SCF and SPI are managed through a common
intermediate process, the Subsystem Control Point (SCP).
