Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
SCF is used to configure, control, and collect information about HP data
communications subsystems.
SCF provides an operator interface to an intermediate process called the Subsystem
Control Point (SCP). SCP provides an interface to the various I/O processes
performing data communications operations and services. The relationship between
these elements is illustrated in Figure 4-1, SCF Overview
. The default SCP process,
known to the system as $ZNET, provides access for application programs, whether
local or remote, to monitor and control a communications subsystem.
Note. Attribute descriptions are listed and described in Section 6, Attribute Descriptions for
