Figure 7 Commands and Objects
Object Names
In the Management Programming interface to the Pathway subsystem, the form of an object name
depends on the object type. “Token Codes for Object Names” (page 55) describes the name
formats for objects of each type.
Object-Selector Tokens
Many Pathway commands and responses contain object-selector tokens that, when combined with
object-type information, designate which objects are affected by the command. Object-selector
tokens are represented by the name ZPWY-DDL-SEL-name, where name is the name of the specific
object.
Event Numbers
All event messages contain a header token identifying the event by number. This event number, in
combination with the subsystem ID header token, uniquely identifies the kind of event being reported.
Event numbers for event messages defined by the Pathway subsystem are identified by symbolic
names of the form ZPWY-EVT-name, where name gives a brief description of the event being
reported.
In these event messages, the event-number header token (ZEMS-TKN-EVENTNUMBER) can have
any one of the set of event numbers for the Pathway subsystem. Messages returned by the
PATHMON process are described in “PATHMON Event Messages” (page 176), “PATHMON Error
Messages” (page 224), and “ACS Subsystem Messages” (page 267). Messages returned by SPI are
