Introduction to SCF for
SNAX/APC
This manual describes the subsystem-specific details for using the Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF) interactive interface to configure and control the SNAX/APC (Advanced
Program Communication) subsystem. SNAX/APC provides LU type 6.2 support for the
Tandem implementation of SNA.
This section contains the following information:
•
An overview of the features and operation of the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)
•
An overview of the objects on which SCF operates
•
A description of the general format of SCF commands
•
Environmental requirements for SNAX/APC
This section provides an overview of SCF, and is intended to help get you started.
Readers who are already familiar with the general operation of SCF can skip ahead to
the information that is specific to SNAX/APC, which begins with the subsection
Environmental Requirements
For additional information about SCF, refer to the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Reference Manual.
Tasks You Can Perform Using SCF
SCF commands to SNAX/APC allow you to perform the following configuration and
management functions:
•
Define logical units (LUs), partner LUs (PTNR-LU), partner modes
(PTNR-MODE), sessions, and transaction program name (TPN) to the SNAX/APC
subsystem, specifying the characteristics of those objects
•
Alter characteristics of objects
•
Delete LU, PTNR-LU, PTNR-MODE and TPN objects from the configuration
•
Start operation of the subsystem and its configured LU, PTNR-LU, PTNR-MODE
and TPN objects
•
Inquire about the names and characteristics of conversations (CONV), LUs, partner
LUs (PTNR-LU), partner modes (PTNR-MODE), process, sessions, transaction
program instances (TPI), and transaction program names (TPN)
•
Request statistical information about the LU, PROCESS, PTNR-MODE, and
SESSION objects
•
Inquire about the status of conversations (CONV), LUs, partner LUs (PTNR-LU),
partner modes (PTNR-MODE), process, sessions, transaction program instances
(TPI), and transaction program names (TPN)
•
Start, modify, and stop traces of LU objects or the SNAX/APC process
