AM3270 Management Programming Manual

PREFACE
• Section 4 describes SPI programming considerations for the
subsystem. This description includes information about build-
ing the command buffer, canceling commands, receiving and
decoding response buffers, error handling, version
compatibility, and security.
• Section 5 summarizes standard SPI definitions, EMS
definitions, and data-communications definitions used by the
subsystem in multiple commands, responses, or event messages.
These definitions include token codes, token maps, token
types, token values, field types, and field values.
• Section 6 describes all available commands and associated
responses when communicating with the AM3270 subsystem.
• Section 7 describes event management for applications communi-
cating with the AM3270 subsystem. This section contains
information on how to obtain event messages reported by the
subsystem, a description of each event message that can be
issued by the subsystems, and examples of filters that could
be used by an application.
• Appendix A describes the error numbers and error lists that
can be issued by the AM3270 subsystem.
• Appendix B is a listing of the AM3270 subsystem's DDL.
To use this manual, you should be familiar with Tandem system
architecture, have a reading knowledge of DDL, and have a working
knowledge of AM3270 and the language in which you are working:
TAL, COBOL85, TACL, and C. In addition, you should be familiar
with distributed systems management. Therefore, before using
this manual, you must be familiar with the material covered in
the following Tandem manuals:
• Data Definition Language (DDL) Reference Manual
• Device-Specific Access Methods--AM3270/TR3271
• Introduction to Distributed Systems Management
• Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual
• Communications Management Programming Manual
• Event Management Service (EMS) Manual
