GROUP Objects
STOPPING is a transitional state. It means that a STOP or ABORT command was
directed at a GROUP object, but one or more PROCESS objects in the group have not
yet stopped.
The UNDEFINED state means that no group with the specified name is defined to the
MHS manager. If you try an SCF operation on an UNDEFINED (nonexistent) group,
SCF returns the following error message:
MHS E-00017 object name not found
Types of GROUP Objects
OSI/MHS defines five types of GROUP objects. Each has a qualifying class name. In
an SCF command, this qualifier must be included in the full group name to identify the
kind of group to which the command applies. Table 2-4 shows the types of GROUP
objects:
Naming GROUP Objects
A GROUP object name has the form:
system
is the name of the system (node) that runs the MHS manager process for this
OSI/MHS subsystem.
manager-process
is the name you have given the MHS manager process (the MON object). This
name must be a letter followed by zero through three alphanumeric characters.
