CLASS Objects
SCF Commands for CLASS Objects
You can direct any of the following SCF commands to the OSI/MHS CLASS object
specified or assumed in the command:
ABORT Changes the summary state of an OSI/MHS class from STARTED to
STOPPED.
For the CLASS object to be in the STOPPED state, the subordinate
GROUP objects must first be in the STOPPED state. You can
accomplish this with one command by including the option SUB ALL in
the ABORT command that is directed to the CLASS.
Caution. You should use the STOP command to do an orderly shutdown of your OSI/MHS
subsystem, rather than force a shutdown with the ABORT command. When you do an orderly
shutdown, the subsystem goes through the required housekeeping processes and will be
ready to start up in a normal way. When you use the ABORT command to shut down, the
subsystem must go through a forced recovery process to restart. Use the ABORT command
only in an emergency.
The ABORT command and the STOP command with the MAX option
have the same effect, except when you use the SUB ALL option. These
commands apply to all subordinate groups, but the SUB ALL option has
different implications, depending on the group.
ADD Creates a class that has the name and attributes specified in the
command, then adds the name and attributes to the OSI/MHS
configuration database.
ALTER Alters one or more attributes of an OSI/MHS class.
You must stop the CLASS object before you alter it. This requires that
all GROUP objects in the class be stopped.
DELETE Deletes a CLASS object definition from the OSI/MHS configuration
database.
To delete a class, you must delete all its subordinate groups and stop
the class. One way to achieve this effect is to stop the class and all its
groups, then delete them with the DELETE CLASS, SUB ALL
command.
INFO Lists the attribute values for an OSI/MHS CLASS object.
NAMES Lists the names of the objects subordinate to a CLASS object in this
OSI/MHS subsystem. Unless the command includes the option SUB
ONLY, it also displays the name of the CLASS object itself.
