For detailed descriptions of the DNSCOM interactive commands listed in Table 1-1,
refer to the Distributed Name Service (DNS) Management Operations Manual.
Section 5 describes the SPI-format programmatic commands that management
applications can direct to the DNS subsystem and the SPI-format responses that DNS
returns.
Event Messages DNS generates event messages under the following circumstances:
DNS is initialized (or reinitialized) on a system
A change of state occurs in one of the DNS named processes (a name manager or a
name exporter)
An error is detected
DNS does not generate event messages when a name is added to, deleted from, or
changed in the DNS database. The DNS processes send these event messages, in
SPI format, to the Event Management Service (EMS), which makes them available to
management applications upon request.
Section 6 describes the contents of the event messages. Event messages generated by
the DNS processes can be displayed for system operators using an EMS printing
distributor or the ViewPoint console application.
For information about using EMS printing distributors, refer to the Event Management
Service (EMS) Manual. For information about using ViewPoint, refer to the
VIEWPOINT Manual. For descriptions of the displayed form of these messages, refer
to the manual Operator Messages: Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Display
Format.
