Running DSNMCom Interactively
$process-name
is the name of the process to which DSNM sends commands. 
If you omit $process-name, you must open the process with the DSNMCom 
OPEN command before issuing any DSNM commands (see “The DSNMCom 
Commands” on page 7-5).
$process-name must be preceded by a comma if you specify either DSNM or 
CONFIG with a blank value.
command
is either one of the DSNMCom commands listed in Table 7-1, or a DSNM 
command.  Separate the command from the $process-name by a semicolon or at 
least one space.
The DSNMCom Prompt
The DSNMCom prompt is one of the following:
•
When you enter DSNMCOM at your TACL prompt without specifying a process 
name to be opened, the following prompt appears:
DSNMCom >
•
Once you open a process, either by including the process name in your run 
command or by issuing an OPEN command from DSNMCom, the following prompt 
appears:
DSNM $process-name >
•
If DSNMCom is unable to open the specified process, the following prompt appears:
DSNM $process-name (filesystem-error) >
Running DSNMCom Interactively
You can run DSNMCom interactively in one of the following ways:
•
By executing a DSNM command through DSNMCom at the TACL prompt. For 
example:
> DSNMCOM CONFIG $DSNM.IDEV.DSNMCONF $SPFI &
 STOP VALVE PRT3 UNDER $SMGR
>
•
By entering DSNMCom and executing DSNM commands at the DSNMCom 
prompt.  For example:
> DSNMCOM CONFIG $DSNM.IDEV.DSNMCONF $SPFI
DSNM $spfi > STOP VALVE PRT3 UNDER $SMGR
DSNM $spfi >
