Object Names
•
SUBPROCESS
•
DEVICE
•
SUBDEVICE
•
OBJECTTYPE (used for objecttypes and security groups)
•
SAVEDDISKPATTERN (used for SAVED-DISKFILE-PATTERN objecttype)
Some examples of names using the object type descriptor are DEVICE.$TAPE,
PROCESS.$NULL, SUBDEVICE.$SNAX.#LU1, and
SAVEDDISKPATTERN.$TAPE*.TEST*.*.
You can use the object type descriptor with wild-card names. Some examples would
be DISKFILE.*, OBJECTTYPE.*, and PROCESS.*. Using these examples, you can
direct a command to a specific type of protection record; for example ALTER
PROCESS.* or INFO DISKFILE.*.
If you want SPI commands to be exclusive to diskfile patterns, you must use the object
type descriptor. If the object name specified does not have a type descriptor, and is in
the diskfile format, and is wild carded, then both diskfiles and diskfile patterns that
match the object name will be operated on. To illustrate, these protection records exist
on a system:
$DATA2.JATER.TEST (Diskfile)
$DATA2.J*.T* (Diskfile Pattern)
$DATA1.JATER.TEST (Diskfile)
$DATA1.JA???.TEST (Diskfile Pattern)
$DATA.JATER.TEST (Diskfile)
$DATA.JATE?.T* (Diskfile Pattern)
The INFO PROTECTIONRECORD commands return the following records:
•
INFO $DATA.JATER.TEST
returns the Diskfile $DATA.JATER.TEST.
•
INFO DISKFILE.$DATA.JATER.TEST
returns the Diskfile $DATA.JATER.TEST.
•
INFO *$DATA*.*.T*
returns the three diskfile and three diskfile patterns:
$DATA2.JATER.TEST
$DATA2.J*.T*
$DATA1.JATER.TEST
$DATA1.JA???.TEST
$DATA.JATER.TEST
$DATA.JATE?.T*
