type, use the ASSUME command to always set the object-type to
DISTRIBUTOR.
The object-name format is as a single object name. The format of an object name is
the same as the format of a NonStop Kernel process name. In EMS Analyzer, the object
name represents a distributor process. The object name can be omitted if the ASSUME
command is used to establish an appropriate object name.
If an ASSUME command is used to establish a default object-type and fully
qualified object-name, and if the object-type and object-name refer to a
valid object, the object-spec can be omitted from commands. Each command is
applied to the object known as the “assumed object”, the object designated using the
ASSUME command. For example, if the command ASSUME DISTRIBUTOR $DIS1 is
entered, entering INFO displays information about the distributor called $DIS1.
Attributes and Attribute Values
An EMS Analyzer object has an associated set of attributes, each of which identifies
some characteristic for that object. Each attribute has an associated set of values. Default
values exist for multiple attributes. Use the INFO command to display the current
attribute values for any object.
Attribute Spec
The syntax for the EMS Analyzer ALTER command includes the variable
attribute-spec, which indicates the name and value for the required attribute.
The general form of an attribute-spec is as follows:
attribute-name
is a string of one or more characters. The first character is alphabetic. Subsequent
characters can be any printable alphanumeric or special characters except embedded
blanks.
attribute-value
is the value to be associated with attribute-name.
This syntax is used to assign a new value to an attribute. For example, “STATUS 5”
assigns the value 5 to the STATUS attribute.
