Sensitive and Nonsensitive Commands
Sensitive and Nonsensitive Commands
Commands are divided into two groups: sensitive and nonsensitive. A command is
classified as either sensitive or nonsensitive based on its impact on the subsystem and on
whether a user must have proper security to use it.
Sensitive commands are used to add or delete objects, start or stop objects, alter object
attributes, reset statistics counters, or perform some other function that can have a
significant impact on the status or operation of an object. The only users allowed to
issue sensitive commands are members of the super group or of the user group that owns
the MHS manager.
The sensitive OSI/MHS commands and their functions are as follows:
STOP ZCOM-CMD-STOP ZCOM-OBJ-APPL
ZCOM-OBJ-CLASS
ZCOM-OBJ-GROUP
ZCOM-OBJ-MON
ZCOM-OBJ-SUBSYS
SUSPEND ZCOM-CMD-SUSPEND ZCOM-OBJ-APPL
SWITCH ZCOM-CMD-SWITCH ZCOM-OBJ-MON
TRACE ZCOM-CMD-TRACE ZCOM-OBJ-MON
ZCOM-OBJ-PROCESS
ABORT Abruptly places an object in the STOPPED state (ZCOM-VAL-
SUMSTATE-STOPPED).
ACTIVATE Returns a suspended object from the SUSPENDED state (ZCOM-
VAL-SUMSTATE-SUSP) to the STARTED state (ZCOM-VAL-
SUMSTATE-STARTED).
ADD Defines an object to the OSI/MHS subsystem.
ALTER Changes the values of one or more of an object’s attributes.
DELETE Removes an object from the OSI/MHS subsystem.
RESETSTATS Gets the contents of an object’s statistics counters and resets the
counters.
START Places an object in the STARTED state (ZCOM-VAL-SUMSTATE-
STARTED).
STOP Places an object in the STOPPED state (ZCOM-VAL-SUMSTATE-
STOPPED).
