Special Considerations for
the ASSUME Command
SCF requires designation of a manager name indicating the SNAX Creator-2
subsystem through which to operate. The ASSUME command can be used to specify
the manager name for APPL, ENTRY, and SUBSYS objects. For example, the
following two commands are equivalent:
ADD APPL $CREA.C-ABC
ASSUME $CREA
ADD APPL C-ABC
However, you cannot use the ASSUME command to specify the manager name for
CONNECTION, SESSION, and SU objects because these objects have names that start
with the dollar sign ($) or back slash (\). When either of these two symbols is used as
a prefix, SCF assumes that the text following the symbol designates the manager
name. Therefore, the fully-qualified name must be issued in order to obtain the correct
manager name:
ADD SU $CREA.$SSCP.#CREA
In order to avoid confusion, it is recommended that you avoid using the ASSUME
command and always represent objects with fully-qualified names. The examples in
this manual follow this recommendation.
Command Security To ensure a secure environment, SNAX Creator-2 supports two kinds of commands:
sensitive and nonsensitive. A sensitive command can be issued only by an authorized
set of operating system users, such as the owner of a subsystem. For SNAX Creator-2,
the sensitive commands are those that can alter attributes or states of objects. As this
kind of action could be potentially damaging to the subsystem, the use of sensitive
commands is restricted.
The sensitive commands for SNAX Creator-2 are:
ADD PRIMARY STOP
ALTER START
DELETE STATS (RESET)
In contrast, a nonsensitive command can be issued by any user or program allowed
access to the target subsystem. For SNAX Creator-2, the nonsensitive commands are
all those that cannot change objects:
INFO STATS
LISTOPENS STATUS
NAMES VERSION
Note
1. The STATS command is sensitive when it is used to reset statistics; it is nonsensitive when it is used
to display statistics.
2. The INFO command displays slightly different information for authorized requesters.
