VERSION Command Requires No Object
member of the group of the owner of the subsystem. When used with the security
features of the system services, SCF provides effective access control for sensitive
commands.
Commands that request information or status but that do not affect operation are called
nonsensitive commands and are available to all users. Each command in the following
section is identified as either sensitive or nonsensitive.
VERSION Command Requires No Object
All FOX SCF commands (with the exception of VERSION) require an object name. To
identify the subsystem to SCF, however, you must use the FOX monitor process name
($ZZFOX) in the VERSION command. The VERSION command is explained on page
4-60.
Wild-Card Support
An object-name template (wild-card character) allows you to specify multiple objects by
entering a single wild-card character. The asterisk (*) wild-card character as a whole
unit (for example, $ZZFOX.* or \GATE9.*) is supported for use by the ServerNet/FX
adapter subsystem SCF STATUS PATH and START PATH commands.
SCF and LBU Object States
This section explains the SCF and LBU object states for the ServerNet/FX adapter
subsystem.
SCF Object Summary States
SCF objects can be in different summary states, depending on the SCF commands
issued to the ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem objects. Table 4-2 lists the different
summary states for an SCF object supported by the ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem.
Table 4-2. SCF Object Summary States
