Using Wildcards

The OSI/AS SCF commands support both full wildcard substitution (for example, *

specified instead of all or part of a process name) and partial substitution (for example,

$OSIM.#TAPS.TAP? to specify any process name beginning with $TAP). See the

OSI/AS SCF Reference Manual for details on how to use wildcards with each command.

Managing NSP Processes

The NSP processes that implement the lowest OSI layers are standard Compaq access

methods: the X.25 access method (X25AM) for WANs, and the Tandem LAN Access

Method (TLAM) for D-series releases and the Port Access method (PAM) for G06 and

above releases, for LANs. (The OSI IP and the ES-IS routing exchange protocols are

implemented in the TSP process for LANs. The SNDCF is implemented in the TSP

process for X.25 WANs.) X25AM and TLAM are privileged input/output processes

(IOPs); PAM and TCP/IP are processes. Each has its own configuration and

management interface. This section describes the SCF command interface to these

access methods only as it is related to the OSI manager process. see the SCF Reference

Manual for X25AM, SCF Reference Manual for Multilan/TLAM, and the PAM

Configuration and Management Manual for descriptions of the special SCF commands

and objects that apply to these Compaq products independent of the OSI/AS subsystem.

For other aspects of the management and operation of X25AM, see the X.25Access

Method (X25AM) Manual.

For other aspects of the management and operation of TLAM, see the

MULTILAN/TLAM Management and Operations Manual.

For other aspects of the management and operation of PAM, see the PAM Configuration

and Management Manual.

For other aspects of the management and operation of NonStop TCP/IP, see the TCP/IP

Configuration and Management Manual.

Note. Use caution when using wildcards with sensitive commands. For example, stopping,

deleting, or suspending all processes named $* can affect every process on your system. In

addition, be sure to always include your OSI manager name to direct the SCF command to the

OSI/AS subsystem.
