Management Interfaces
These Distributed Systems Management (DSM) interfaces are provided to manage
both the PAM and the TLAM subsystems:
•

control-and-inquiry and event management interface for writing management
applications
•
Event Management Service (EMS), which provides an event-management
interface that includes printing and a compatibility distributor process that can print
or display event messages
•
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF), which provides an interactive control-and-inquiry
interface
Object Types
