Distributed Systems Network Management (DSNM) Subsystem Interface Development

Guide—109759 7-1

Scope of This Section

This section describes DSNMCom, the I process test utility. It provides the syntax

descriptions for the DSNMCom commands and parameters.

What is DSNMCom?

DSNMCom is a user interface to DSNM. It enables you to bypass NetCommand and

send DSNM commands directly to a started process (such as a command server or an

I process). This lets you test your I process without having to set up a DSNM

environment. DSNMCom must be licensed before you can use it.

DSNMCom supports the DSNM commands described in Section 2, “DSNM

Commands.” If you are using DSNMCom to send commands directly to an I process,

object names must be fully qualified, because no name resolution takes place.

Before You Run DSNMCom

Before you run DSNMCom:

•

Configuration records for the subsystem and its subsystem interface process must be

added to a DSNMCONF file (see Section 6, “Configuring a New Subsystem Into

DSNM”).

•

The process(es) you wish to communicate with must be started before DSNMCom

can open them. For example, to start the I process associated with the SPIFFY

subsystem referred to in the examples that follow, type the following RUN

command:

> RUN $DSNM.IDEV.SPIFI/NAME $SPFI,NOWAIT/TESTMODE 1, &

CONFIG $DSNM.IDEV.DSNMCONF

The TESTMODE and CONFIG process parameters are discussed in Section 5,

“DSNM Process Startup Functions.”

DSNMCom Command Syntax

DSNMCom can accept input interactively or from a specified file. To use the following

command syntax, the object code for DSNMCom must reside in one of the subvolumes

contained in your #PMSEARCHLIST file (if it does not, add the code to your

TACLCSTM file):

DSNMCOM [ / run-option [ , run-option ] .../ ]

[ DSNM [ section-name ] | CONFIG [ filename ] ]

[[,] $process-name ]

[[;] [ . ] command ]
