SCF Reference Manual for SCP

PREFACE

This manual describes the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)

interactive interface that allows operators and network managers

to configure and control an SCP process. SCF also provides means

for examining the configuration and status of an SCP process.

SCF is similar in use and function to CMI, described in the

Communications Management Interface (CMI) Operator's Guide

. CMI

is used to configure and control the subsystems described in the

CMI manual; SCF is used to configure and control the subsystem

described in this manual.

The Subsystem Control Point (SCP) is used as the interface

between SCF and the data-communications subsystems. SCP is

described in the

Communications Management Programming Manual

;

the interactive interface to the SCP process, SCF, is described

here.

This manual is written for operators and network managers. It

provides the subsystem-specific information concerning the SCP

product.

Section 1, "Introduction," gives an overview of SCP, and de-

scribes the objects on which it operates.

Section 2, "SCP Commands," describes the syntax and action of the

SCP commands.

Appendix A, "Command Summary," contains a summary of the syntax

of the SCP commands.

Appendix B, "Error Messages," describes the error messages issued

by the SCP process.
