OSI/MHS Objects
In an OSI/MHS subsystem, every object name has a second qualifier that is always
required: the name of the MHS manager process that you specify during installation.
Therefore, every OSI/MHS object name starts with
where
system
is the name of the NonStop system that runs the MHS manager process for this
subsystem.
manager-process
is the process name chosen for the MHS manager process. This name must be a
letter followed by zero through three alphanumeric characters.
This syntax describes a fully qualified name for the MON (the MHS manager) and null
objects. A complete name for any other object in OSI/MHS must include one or more
additional (lower level) qualifiers.
For example, you could install the MHS manager process on SYSTEM1 and name it
$ZMHS. Then, in SCF commands directed to OSI/MHS objects, you would use object
names that start with “\SYSTEM1.$ZMHS”. You could use names that start with
“$ZMHS” if the system name you are using defaults to \SYSTEM1. One way to make
the system name default to \SYSTEM1 for the duration of your SCF session is to use
the “SYSTEM” SCF command:
SYSTEM \SYSTEM1
Then the names “\SYSTEM1.$ZMHS.BOSTON1.ROUTE7” and
“$ZMHS.BOSTON1.ROUTE7” would refer to the same object.
An object name designates either a single object or a set of objects, according to the
following scheme:
•
If it refers to a single object, the name must be fully qualified, except at qualifier
levels that have defaults, such as the highest or system level.
•
If it refers to a set of objects, the name must be complete through the second
(subsystem process) level. That is, the name must include the complete qualifying
name of the MHS manager process for the OSI/MHS subsystem that owns the
objects. Any and all lower levels can be omitted or left incomplete if they include
appropriate wild-card characters.
In a command that you want to apply to a set of objects in a subsystem, the object
name does not have to be complete or fully qualified. You can substitute a wild-card
character within, or in place of, one or more lower level qualifiers (not the qualifiers for
the system or for the MHS manager process). A valid command that includes an
object name with a wild card affects every object on the system whose name fits the
incomplete pattern.
