Altering PROFILE Objects

Use the SCF ALTER command to alter PROFILE objects. Current connections are not

affected, but the next connection that uses the profile is configured with the new

attributes.

The following command modifies a Layer 3 PROFILE object:

ALTER PROFILE $OSIM.#L3.PROF3, X25DESTADDR "654321"

The effect of this command is that connections using SNPA addresses to which the

Layer 3 profile PROF3 is assigned send outgoing calls to the X.25 address 654321.

The following command modifies a Layer 4 PROFILE object:

ALTER PROFILE $OSIM.#L4.PROF4, CLASS 2, MULTIPLEX OFF

The effect of this command is that connections using NSAP addresses to which the

Layer 4 profile PROF4 is assigned are configured with transport class 2 protocol

without multiplexing.

The following command modifies a Layer 5 PROFILE object:

ALTER PROFILE $OSIM.#L5.PROF5, VSN1 ON, VSN2 OFF

The effect of this command is that connections using TSEL addresses to which the

Layer 5 profile PROF5 is assigned can only propose and accept session protocol version

1 during the connection negotiations.

Deleting PROFILE Objects

Use the SCF DELETE command to delete PROFILE objects from an OSI/AS

subsystem. You should also delete or alter any ENTRY objects that refer to the deleted

PROFILE object.

The following examples delete the PROFILE objects that were altered in the above

example:

DELETE PROFILE $OSIM.#L3.PROF3

DELETE PROFILE $OSIM.#L4.PROF4

DELETE PROFILE $OSIM.#L5.PROF5

Managing Connection Configurations

OSI/AS allocates subsystem resources dynamically in response to application requests

for services. The OSI manager process selects the processes that service a connection,

and then creates and configures subdevices according to information contained in the

various OSI/AS ENTRY objects.

Use SCF ADD, ALTER, and DELETE commands to control how connections are

configured in an OSI/AS subsystem.
