Development Guide
Configuring a New Subsystem Into DSNM
subsystem. Objects are started in increasing rank order and stopped in 
decreasing order.
The default value is 0, indicating that the rank of the object is 1 greater than its 
parent’s rank (this means that the object is one level below its parent in the 
subsystem object hierarchy). Nonzero relative ranks may be used to specify 
starting (increasing) and stopping (decreasing) orders for subordinates of the 
same parent type. 
Default: None
Considerations: An OBJTYPE record must be entered for each object type in the 
subsystem.
RANK
This parameter ranks the subsystem within the DSNM hierarchy. It determines the order 
in which subsystem objects are brought up and down by DSNM commands. 
Default: The default is 16.
Considerations: The valid range is 0 through 31.  Rank 0 subsystem objects are started 
first and rank 31 last; stopping occurs in the reverse order.
Within a subsystem, starting and stopping order depends on relative rank. See the 
OBJTYPE parameter, described earlier.
DEFAULT-OBJTYPE
DEFAULT-OBJTYPE specifies the default object type used if an object in the subsystem 
cannot be resolved.
default-objtype 
is the object type.
subordinate-objtype 
is the default object type for an object name in the NonStop Kernel subdevice 
format. 
Default: None
