Selection Hierarchy of Object Attributes
In its default configuration, OSI/AS looks for TAPS and TSP object code files in the 
subvolume from which the OSI manager process was started. The default names for 
TAPS and TSP code files are TAPSOBJ and TSPOBJ, respectively.
•
The following example specifies a new location for the MIB file:
ALTER SUBSYS $OSIM, MIB $DATA.OSICONFG.MIB3
The OSI manager process must be in the SUSPENDED state before you can issue 
this command. In its default configuration, the subsystem looks for the MIB in the 
same subvolume in which the object code for the OSI manager process resides. The 
default name for the MIB is ZOSIDB. The default name for the MIB alternate-key 
file is ZOSIDB0.
Selection Hierarchy of Object Attributes
The OSI manager process uses the hierarchy shown in Table 2-12, Table 2-13, and 
Table 2-14 to determine which attribute values to use and which protocol processes to 
select when processing connect requests and attach requests (during the connection-
establishment phase). The OSI manager process begins at the top of each relevant list 
and, moving downward, selects the appropriate value from the first existing object.
