How to Use SCF to Manage Your OSI/MHS
Subsystem
For detailed descriptions of the SCF commands for OSI/MHS, the objects to which
they apply, and the syntax you use to invoke them, see the OSI/MHS SCF Reference
Manual.
How to Use SCF to Manage Your OSI/MHS Subsystem
For simple or nonrepetitive subsystem management functions, you can use the SCF
command interface interactively. Start the SCF process from your terminal or
workstation by entering
SCF
at the TACL command prompt. Then enter commands one at a time. When you are
finished, exit SCF and return to your TACL command interpreter.
For complex or repetitive management functions, you can build command files or TACL
macros that you invoke to perform routine sequences of SCF commands.
This method is especially useful when you create your initial OSI/MHS configuration.
When you install OSI/MHS for the first time, you can instruct the installation software to
create a skeleton file of SCF commands that you can later execute to configure the
OSI/MHS subsystem. You will need to edit this file after installation to customize it.
This process is described in Section 4, Installing Your OSI/MHS Subsystem.
OSI/MHS Objects
The OSI/MHS subsystem is made up of OSI/MHS objects that you control by issuing
SCF commands. You define these objects to the SCF command interface through the
OSI/MHS configuration file. They are the objects you add, alter, delete, start, stop, and
so on.
