DSNM Command Requirements
Action to be Performed
The action to be performed is determined by the value in the _INPUT.ACTION field in
the command context space. The command thread must be able to translate the
following DSNM operations into an equivalent subsystem-specific command or
command sequence:
Command Modifiers
Command modifiers specify whether a command is applied to subordinate objects in the
subsystem hierarchy, specify the state of objects to which a command is applied, specify
whether error responses are suppressed, and so on. The command modifiers are
determined by the values in the _INPUT.MOD structure (ZDSN^MOD^DEF) contained
within the command context space. The command modifiers relevant to I processes are
listed in Table 4-1.
ZDSN^ACTION^ABORT Brings objects to a nonoperational state, without
waiting for outstanding operations to complete.
ZDSN^ACTION^AGGREGATE Returns a summary of operational status of all
objects in the subsystem or under a specified
manager process.
ZDSN^ACTION^INFO Returns configuration information for each
object.
ZDSN^ACTION^STATUS Returns current operational status of each object.
ZDSN^ACTION^START Brings objects to an operational state.
ZDSN^ACTION^STATISTICS Returns operational statistics for each object.
ZDSN^ACTION^STOP Brings objects to a nonoperational state, once
outstanding operations are complete.
