SCF Command Format

Each complete SCF command that applies to an OSI/MHS subsystem has the form

command

is the name of the SCF command, for example, DELETE.

object-type

designates the type of object to which the command is directed: for example, the

ROUTE object type, representing X.400 message routes. (The object type is

omitted for the null object.)

object-name

can designate either a single object or a set of objects. For example,

\SYSTEM1.$ZMHS.#BOSTON1.ROUTE7

designates the message route named ROUTE7, from the OSI/MHS subsystem on

\SYSTEM1 whose MHS manager process is named $ZMHS, to the adjacent MTA

named BOSTON1. You can omit the system (node) name whenever the default is

the name of the system you want.

attributes

refers to one or more optional attributes of the object.

This is a valid SCF command:

DELETE ROUTE $ZMHS.#BOSTON1.ROUTE7

The ASSUME Command

One generic SCF command should be described here: the ASSUME command.

When you have started an SCF session and are ready to issue commands to

OSI/MHS objects, you can use the ASSUME command to set a temporary default for

the object type, for one or more qualifiers of the object name, or for both.

For example, to alter several GROUP objects in class #RS, you could enter the

command:

ASSUME GROUP

followed by an ALTER command for each GROUP object:

ALTER $ZMHS.#RS.RSGROUP1, attribute, ...

In this example:

command object-type object-name [attributes]
