SUBSYSTEM Class Records
Searching schemes provide various ways for library procedures to retrieve values from
these files. See Section 5, “DSNM Process Startup Functions,” for more information on
searching schemes.
DSNMCONF Records Relevant to I Processes
The classes of DSNM configuration parameters of concern for I process development
are SUBSYSTEM, SUBSYSTEM-INTERFACE-CONFIG, and CI-CONFIG. These are
described in detail in the following subsections.
In addition, to integrate your subsystem and I process into a production system, your
system administrator must add a COMMAND-SERVER class record and
SUBSYSTEM-INTERFACE class records to the DSNMCONF file. Refer to the
Distributed Systems Management Solutions (DSMS) System Management Guide for
definitions of these class records.
SUBSYSTEM Class Records
Parameter records that specify subsystem configuration parameters have SUBSYSTEM
in the CLASS field and the subsystem name in the COMPONENT field. Object type
configuration is part of subsystem configuration.
Parameter records with the CLASS key field set to SUBSYSTEM specify subsystem
characteristics. They are OBJTYPE, RANK, DEFAULT-OBJTYPE, DEVICETYPE,
FLAGS, MANAGER, subsystem-MANAGER, and SUBSYSTEM-INTERFACE. Each
of these is described next.
OBJTYPE
OBJTYPE describes the objects in the subsystem.
objtype
is the object type name:
parent-objtype
is the object type name of the object’s parent within the subsystem object
hierarchy.
relative-rank
is the object’s rank relative to other object types subordinate to the same parent.
Rank determines the starting and stopping sequence of objects within a
Caution. Do not alter the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.ZDSNCONF file; however, you may override
certain parameters in this file. To do so, refer to the Distributed Systems Management
Solutions (DSMS) System Management Guide.
