The OSI/TS subsystem provides your application with the capability to do the
following:
Obtain information about the current attributes of the subsystem
Obtain a list of the currently defined subsystem objects of a given type or a list of
those subordinate to a specified process
Stop a specified subdevice
Suspend and reactivate TSP processes
Forbid or allow opens of TSP subdevices
Obtain information about the opens of a specified subdevice
Obtain current status information about the subsystem
Obtain information about the product name and release version of the OSI/TS
subsystem and its components
Obtain statistics about the OSI/TS processes, services, and subdevices
Reinitialize the counters used to collect statistics information for the processes,
services, and subdevices
Obtain routing information
Switch the processes
Commands OSI/TS commands are available in interactive form (through the Subsystem Control
Facility, SCF) and in programmatic form (as Subsystem Programmatic Interface, or
SPI, messages). Table 1-1 shows the correspondence between the interactive SCF
commands and the programmatic commands sent by management applications.
To make the contrast between the two kinds of commands clear, the table gives the
programmatic command names and object names in the full form you must use in
programs. Later in this manual, in text discussions and in the headings for the
command descriptions, the programmatic commands and object types appear in a
shortened form (without the ZCOM-CMD- and ZCOM-OBJ- prefixes).
