Object Types

Figure 1-1, OSI/TS Subsystem Object Hierarchy, on page 1-2 shows the OSI/TS object

types supported by SCF and their hierarchical order.

As shown, the PROCESS object is at the highest point of the hierarchy, with all other

objects subordinate to it. (The null object is not an actual object type but is used in

commands that do not require specification of an object type.) Immediately subordinate

to the PROCESS object are the SERVICE, SU, and ROUTE objects.

The LINE object is not supported by the OSI/TS subsystem. However, you can direct

commands to LINE objects in the X25AM and TLAM subsystems (for D-series, or

PAM subsystems for G06 and above releases) that are in use by the OSI/TS subsystem.

X25AM commands for LINE objects are described in the SCF Reference Manual for

X25AM. TLAM commands for LINE objects are described in the SCF Reference

Manual for Multilan/TLAM, and PAM commands for LINE objects are described in the

PAM Configuration and Management Manual.

G-Series Compatability

The Network Service Providers of OSI/TS are X25AM, TCPIP and TLAM (for D-

series, or PAM subsystems for G06 and above releases). An application running over

OSI/TS can use any of these Network Service Providers.

Some Expand networks may have D-Series systems and some G-series systems. The

application, OSI/AS, OSI/TS and either X25AM, TCP/IP or TLAM (for D-series, or

PAM subsystems for G06 and above releases) could be running on different nodes.

Figure 1-2

shows an OSI/AS running on a D-series system communicating with a

OSI/TS running on a G-series system through the Expand lines. The NSP on D-series
