ADD SU Command
Commands and Responses
056786 Tandem Computers Incorporated 5–25
Tokens in Response Buffer
ZSPI-TKN-DATALIST and the final ZSPI-TKN-ENDLIST
enclose a data list, as described in the Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
Programming Manual. These tokens enclose the other response tokens only if the
value of the header token ZSPI-TKN-MAXRESP is nonzero. No more than one
data list can appear in the response.
ZCOM-TKN-OBJTYPE
specifies the type of object named in ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME. The token value is
ZCOM-OBJ-SU.
ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME
is the name of the subdevice that was to be added.
ZSPI-TKN-RETCODE
indicates whether or not the command was successful. If the command failed, this
token supplies the reason for the failure. Its use is described further in the
Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Programming Manual.
ZSPI-TKN-ERRLIST and ZSPI-TKN-ENDLIST
enclose a standard SPI error list, as described in the Distributed Systems
Management (DSM) Programming Manual.
Operational Notes
Subdevices are not started automatically. They are in the STOPPED state after
being added.
Subdevice names starting with #Z are reserved for Tandem use. Although no
checking is done, you should not specify your own subdevice names with #Z.
The default values of the SU attributes are taken from the values of the
corresponding SERVICE attributes.
The OSI/TS subsystem checks that attribute values are within valid ranges and
does a limited check of the value of one attribute against the value of other
attributes. The values that are actually used are determined at connection-
establishment time. Use the STATUS command to see the attribute values used
during a connection.
Several of the ADD SU attributes have a corresponding attribute (of the same
name) in the ALTER SERVICE command, in either the ZCOM-MAP-ALTER-
SERV-L3 or the ZCOM-MAP-ALTER-SERV-L4 extensible structured token.
The following considerations apply to such attributes:
