Configuring a New Subsystem Into DSNM
OPEN-PARAMS
OPEN-PARAMS specifies values to be used when the process class is opened.
QUALIFIER default-qualifier
is the qualifier added to the process name when the process is opened for 
communication. The default is #ZSPI. 
NOWAIT[-DEPTH] number
is the maximum concurrent operations allowed on the same open. The default value 
is 1. 
OPEN-TIMEOUT number
is the time, in .01-second units, that the opener should wait for a response to an 
OPEN request. -1 means wait indefinitely. The default value is 0. 
Default: If not configured, an appropriate internal default is supplied by each DSNM 
component.
Adding Subsystem Objects to the DNS Database
You must provide your system administrator with the appropriate information for adding 
your subsystem’s objects to the DNS database.  DNSCOM, the interactive interface to 
the DNS, and AUTOLOAD, the utility for constructing DNSCOM command (OBEY) 
files, are described in the Distributed Systems Management Solutions (DSMS) System 
Management Guide. The Distributed Name Service (DNS) Management Operations 
Manual provides additional instructions on using DNSCOM. 
Defining an I Process as a Pathway Server
If your I process is started by PATHMON in a production environment, the process must 
also be defined as a Pathway server. The DSNM PATHMON configuration parameters
