5-17
ASSUME
ASSUME
The ASSUME command sets the default object type, object name, or both for
subsequent commands. The default object type is used when the object type is omitted
from a command. The default object name is used when the object name is omitted from
a command. If no default object name has been established and the object name is
omitted from a command, a syntax error message occurs. A remote object name cannot
be assumed.
/OUT file-spec/
causes any EMS Analyzer output generated for this command to be directed to the
specified file.
object-type
is a keyword that represents the default object type.
object-name
is the name of the object that is to be the default object.
Considerations
•
When an EMS Analyzer session begins, the assumed object-type and
object-name are null.
•
A START command automatically assumes DISTRIBUTOR as object-type and
the new distributor process created as object-name.
•
If the object-type is omitted and an object-name is specified, the default
object-type remains unchanged. If an object-type is specified and the
object-name is omitted, the default object name remains unchanged. If both
object-type and object-name are omitted, the assumed object-type
and object-name become null.
•
When accessing remote systems, it is recommended that you change the name of the
default system using the SYSTEM command and then assume the object-name.
Examples
The following ASSUME command assigns a distributor ($EMSA) as the assumed
object. The subsequent INFO command gives information about the assumed object.
ASSUME [ /OUT file-spec/ ] [ object-type ] [ object-name ]
-> ASSUME DISTRIBUTOR $EMSA
-> INFO
Object: $EMSA (Appropriate Information)
