Managing Your OSI/MHS Subsystem
Managing your OSI/MHS subsystem to keep it running smoothly involves several types
of tasks, covered in this section:
•
Modifying the subsystem configuration
•
Using SCF commands interactively
•
Using configuration command files
•
Managing the databases
•
OSI/MHS database
(configuration, registration, distribution list and CUG databases)
•
Group databases
(PDU store and SQL databases)
•
Monitoring the MHS objects
•
Objects that represent the executable portion of the subsystem
(CLASS, GROUP, and PROCESS)
•
Objects that represent the information flow through the subsystem
(APPL, MTA, and ROUTE)
•
Objects that represent the grouping of users within the subsystem
(DLIST, DLISTMEMBER, CUG, and CUGMEMBER)
•
Maintaining the interfaces to OSI/AS
•
Checking the OSI manager
•
Verifying OSI addresses in the MR and RS groups and in MTA objects
•
Managing event messages

Modifying the Subsystem Configuration
You can reconfigure the OSI/MHS subsystem interactively or by using a command file
