TS/MP 2.5 Release Supplement

The following operational states are valid for ACS objects:
The ACS object is not defined in the specified physical system. In other words, the ACS subsystem
has not been added to the physical system by the ADD ACS command.
UNKNOWN
An ACS object is in this state after the ACS subsystem is deleted by the DELETE ACS command.
The ACS object is defined in the specified physical system. In other words, the ADD ACS
command was issued and it completed successfully.
DEFINED
The ACS object is in the process of being initialized and is attempting to start the ACS subsystem
in the specified physical system; this is a transient state during the processing of the START
STARTING
ACS command. The ACS subsystem processes are in the process of being restarted on a CPU;
this is a transient state during processing of the CONTROL ACS command.
The ACS object is started. In other words, the START ACS command was issued, and it
completed successfully.
STARTED
The ACS subsystem is in the process of being stopped in the specified physical system. This is
a transient state during the processing of the STOP ACS command.
STOPPING
The ACS subsystem is stopped in the specified physical system and is not ready for normal
operations. In other words, the STOP ACS command was issued, and it completed successfully.
STOPPED
Starting SCF
The SCF utility is located in the file $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SCF. To start SCF, use the TACL RUN
command, as follows:
1>\system.SCF
If \system. is omitted, SCF starts on the local system.
You can use the SETPROMPT command to change the prompt.
SCF Command Format
The general format of the SCF commands is as follows:
command [ /OUT file-spec/ ] [ object-spec ] [ attribute-spec ]
where:
directs the SCF utility to send the command output to a file. If OUT is not specified, the
command output is directed to the terminal where the SCF process was started.
OUT file-spec
specifies the object type, and one or more object names. The object type identifies the
product module ($ZNET) to which the command is addressed. The object name identifies
the specific objects to which the command is directed.
object-spec
The exceptions to this format are commands that are directly processed by SCF itself,
for example, the ASSUME command.
You can run SCF commands interactively from a terminal or non-interactively from an
OBEY file or TACL script.
