Controlling Open Requests

An open request is a request for the services of an FTAM initiator or responder process.

SCF allows you to list information on all opens for a given process or subdevice, to

prevent a process from receiving open requests, and to permit a process to receive open

requests.

Listing Open Requests

The LISTOPENS command in SCF allows you to monitor the opens a process or

subdevice is currently servicing.

Processes

When applied to the PROCESS object, the LISTOPENS command displays the entities

that have the specified process open. For initiator processes, the command returns the

Subsystem Control Point (SCP) process, the APLMGR process, and all applications

using the initiator. For responders, the command returns the SCP process name and the

APLMGR process name. For the APLMGR process, the command returns only the SCP

process name (and, very briefly, application processes, while association requests are in

progress).

This command is most useful when you need to know which initiator processes are

currently servicing application requests. Note the following example, which lists the

opens for the initiator process $FTI1:

LISTOPENS PROCESS $FTI1

This command returns the following display:

This display shows that four entities have openers for the process $FTI1: an unnamed

application; an application named $PUBMT; the APLMGR process, $AMGR; and the

SCP process, named $ZNET. Only SCP (the $ZNET opener) has a pending open

request.
