OSI/AS Management Programming Manual

5 Commands and Responses
056785 Tandem Computers Incorporated 5–1
This section describes the syntax and semantics for all commands and responses in the
management programming interface to OSI/AS.
In this section, the names and structures of commands, object types, and all tokens and
their values are represented in DDL. For a quick explanation of DDL, refer to the
appendix “Overview of DDL for SPI” in the Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
Programming Manual.
Commands by Object
Type
Table 5-1 lists all the OSI/AS programmatic commands. The first column of the table
indicates whether or not each command is a sensitive command—one that can change
the state or configuration of objects, start or stop tracing, or change the values of
statistics counters, and that can be issued only by a restricted set of users. The
remaining table columns indicate which commands accept which object types.
Table 5-2 lists the OSI/AS command object-type pairs and, for each pair, gives the
DDL forms of the corresponding names that must be used in programs.
