CONTROL Command (ZEMS-CMD-CONTROL)
CONTROL Command (ZEMS-CMD-CONTROL)
The ZEMS-CMD-CONTROL command lets you programmatically manage the
operation of the primary and alternate collectors and the compatibility distributor. You
do this by changing the settings of one or more operational attributes for the
appropriate process. Table 19-6 shows the attributes you can set when you use the
CONTROL command and the EMS process controlled by each attribute.
In addition to the required token ZSPI-TKN-COMMAND, which specifies the command
type to the SPI interface, each CONTROL command buffer must contain tokens or
token maps that define the values of attributes to be changed. You include only the
values of the attributes to be changed. The values of the attributes not included remain
the same. Two fields in the ZEMS-MAP-COL-CONTROL token map control the
enabling and disabling of BDS and PLF.
