Sensitive and
Nonsensitive
Commands
Commands are divided into two groups: sensitive commands and nonsensitive
commands. 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 clearance
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 Guardian 90 super group or of the
Guardian 90 user group that owns the OSI manager process.
The sensitive OSI/TS commands and their functions are as follows:
ABORT Stops operation of an object abruptly.
ACTIVATE Starts operation of an object after it has been suspended.
ADD Defines an object to the subsystem.
ALLOWOPENS Enables the creation of links (access to objects) after link creation
has been disabled with FORBIDOPENS.
ALTER Alters values of an object’s attributes.
DELETE Removes an object from the subsystem.
FORBIDOPENS Disables the creation of links (access to objects).
RESETSTATS Returns the contents of an object’s statistics counters and resets the
counters.
START Starts the operation of an object.
STOP Stops the operation of an object.
SUSPEND Suspends the operation of an object.
