object name returns information about all seven-character APPL names with the letter

W as the fourth character.

Object States An object in the SNAX Creator-2 subsystem is always in one of several allowable

operational states. Certain commands have no effect on an object when it is in one

state, but can affect the same object when it is in a different state. For most objects, the

operational state changes as commands are issued against the object. For example,

when an object is started or stopped, its state changes. Table 3-1 summarizes the

object states as they apply to the SNAX Creator-2 object types.

The state of an object is reflected in several ways. For example, when the

SNAX Creator-2 subsystem responds to a STATUS command, it always returns the

operational state of the object. When the SEL parameter in used in a command, it

indicates that the command applies only to objects in the specified state.

APPL Object Type The APPL object type identifies a named application to the SNAX Creator-2

subsystem. The application can be one of the following:

A Pathway application

A TACL application

An application started by a user-supplied server process

Object Name Format For the APPL object type, the object name can have one of two formats, as shown here.

The first format is used if you have set the NAMERULE attribute of the SU object to be

PLUNAMEONLY; the second format is used if you have set the NAMERULE attribute to

be FIRSTWORD. (See Section 5, “Attributes and Expressions for SNAX Creator-2,” for

more information about the NAMERULE attribute.)
