DSNM Command Requirements
The START Command
START issues the subsystem command(s) to bring objects to an operational state (the
subsystem state equivalent to the DSNM state ZDSN^STATE^UP or
ZDSN^STATE^GREEN).
Valid Modifiers
HMOD, EMOD, SMOD.
RMOD does not apply and should be ignored if present.
Output Object Requirements
Commands to start subsystem objects should be issued for objects obtained by applying
the hierarchy (HMOD) and state (SMOD) modifiers to each input list object.
START must be performed on objects in the order they appear in the input list.
Build an output object structure for only those objects that cannot be aborted, consistent
with the EMOD value (see the error modifier discussion in “The Error Modifier
(_INPUT.MOD.Z^EMOD)” on page 4-6).
Objects started successfully do not generate a response. ZDSN^EMOD^SUPPRESS
causes all objects to be omitted from the response.
Note. Many subsystems produce a warning if a START operation is issued for an object that is
already started. Such a warning should be ignored; do not report it as an error.
