About This Manual
This manual describes how to use the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) interactive
interface to configure and control a Compaq Open Systems Interconnection/Message
Handling System (OSI/MHS) data communications subsystem. It also describes how to
use the PTrace program to display trace files. For information about the programmatic
interface to the Compaq OSI/MHS subsystem, see the OSI/MHS Management
Programming Manual. For information about how to install, configure, manage, and
maintain the Compaq OSI/MHS subsystem, see the OSI/MHS Configuration and
Management Manual.
SCF allows you to configure and examine the status of the Compaq OSI/MHS
subsystem. SCF is similar in use and function to CMI, which is described in the
Communications Management Interface (CMI) Operator's Guide. CMI is used to
configure and control the subsystems described in the CMI manual; SCF is used to
configure and control Compaq OSI/MHS and other Compaq data communications
subsystems.
The Subsystem Control Point (SCP) is the interface between SCF and the data
communications subsystems. SCP is an intermediate, transparent management process
that receives and distributes messages for data communications subsystems. It is
described in detail in the SPI Common Extensions Manual.
Who Should Read This Manual?
This manual is written for those who want to configure and control the Compaq
OSI/MHS subsystem interactively.
To use this manual effectively, all readers should be familiar with the following:
•
The International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) X.400
specifications for message handling systems
•
The CCITT X.200 specifications for the OSI Reference Model
•
The Event Management Service (EMS) within DSM
•
Basic operating system architecture
What’s in This Manual?
This manual contains three sections, two appendixes, a glossary, and an index:
•
Section 1, Introduction, describes how you use SCF commands to control,
configure, and inquire about the Compaq OSI/MHS subsystem. It describes the
object types and summary states that Compaq OSI/MHS supports, and it presents
the object specification for each object. It also describes the other OSI/MHS
manuals.
•
Section 2, OSI/MHS SCF Commands, describes the SCF commands that the
OSI/MHS subsystem supports. The command descriptions include the syntax,
attributes, considerations, and examples for each command.
