AM3270 Management Programming Manual

COMMANDS AND RESPONSES

START Command

The START command initiates the operation of lines and subde-

vices. When the subsystem completes processing this command, the

specified object is placed in the STARTED summary state. You can

start a line or a subdevice, but not a process.

When you are using the START command, the line must be in the

STOPPED summary state; it cannot be in the DIAG (diagnosing) or

the STARTED summary state.

When your management application issues the START command for the

LINE object, the subsystem checks for the subordinate-modifier

token. If the SUB modifier is not present, only the line

is started. If the value of the modifier is SUB-ONLY, the

subdevices attached to the specified line are started; the line

must already be in the STARTED summary state. If the value of

the modifier is SUB-ALL, the subsystem starts the line and then

all the associated subdevices. If the value is SUB-NONE, only

the line is started. The value SUB-NONE has the same effect as

if the SUB modifier was not present in the command buffer.

When your management application issues the START command for a

subdevice, the subsystem starts only the specified subdevice. If

the value of the SUB modifier is ZCOM-VAL-SUB-ONLY, the command

is rejected. If the value of the SUB modifier is ZCOM-VAL-

SUB-ALL or ZCOM-VAL-SUB-NONE, the subsystem starts the named

subdevice only.
