SCF Commands for PROCESS Objects
SUSPENDED means that the process is running, but does not accept user requests. NSP
processes cannot be in the SUSPENDED state.
UNDEFINED means that the process has not been defined to the OSI manager process
with the ADD command. The OSI manager process itself is never in the UNDEFINED
state. If you attempt to perform an SCF operation on an process in an UNDEFINED
state, SCF returns object name not found error.
STARTING means that the process is on its way to the STARTED state because a
command was issued to start it.
STOPPING means that the process is on its way to the STOPPED state because a
command was issued to stop it.
ABORTING means that the process is on its way to the STOPPED state because a
command was issued to abort it.
SUSPENDING means that the process is on its way to the SUSPENDED state because a
command was issued to suspend it.
The following subsections describe the SCF commands that apply to PROCESS objects
and some of the dependencies these commands have on process states. For example,
some commands can be issued only when processes are in certain states you can issue an
ALTER PROCESS command only when a process is in the STOPPED state. Commands
that change the state of OSI/AS subsystem processes are ABORT, ACTIVATE, ADD,
DELETE, START, STOP, and SUSPEND.
SCF Commands for PROCESS Objects
You can use several SCF commands to control OSI/AS subsystem PROCESS objects.
The following subsections describe these PROCESS objects only to the extent that they
are controlled by the OSI/AS subsystem.
You should be aware that TSP and NSP processes have their own configuration and
management interfaces. These interfaces provide other commands and objects for
controlling TSP and NSP processes independently of the OSI/AS subsystem.
The following SCF commands apply to PROCESS objects that you manage within the
OSI/AS subsystem environment:
ABORT
Forces a process into the STOPPED state. Outstanding user requests
are canceled, and any opens of the process are unusable. The process
stops running. You can abort TSP, TAPS, and OSI manager processes.
ACTIVATE Changes the state of a SUSPENDED process to the STARTED
state. You can activate TSP, TAPS, and OSI manager processes.
ADD Registers a process with the OSI manager process. The OSI
manager must be in the STARTED state before you can use this
command. You can add NSP, TSP, and TAPS processes.
ALLOWOPENS
Enables a process to accept open requests from applications. Use
this command for TAPS processes.
