Standard SNAX/APC
Definitions
The following subsections describe tokens defined by SNAX/APC:
The first subsection describes the version value.
The second subsection describes the buffer declaration values.
The third subsection describes the common simple tokens.
The fourth subsection describes the extensible structured tokens used by
SNAX/APC.
The names of all SNAX/APC token definitions begin with the string ZAPC-.
SNAX/APC simple tokens have names of the form ZAPC-TKN-name; the name for
the corresponding token number has the form ZAPC-TNM-name. name is the same in
both names.
Table 4-4 lists the simple tokens and extensible structured tokens that describe
attributes used in the SNAX/APC subsystem. These tokens can be divided into
categories, according to the type of information they represent. These categories
include:
Configuration
Event reporting
Statistics
Status
Tracing
Configuration tokens specify the characteristics (attributes) of an object at the time it is
defined to SNAX/APC. Typically, this definition process is accomplished using the
ADD command. After initial definition, many configuration attributes can be
redefined using the ALTER command.
Event reporting tokens contain information reported in an event. Statistics tokens
relate to the gathering of statistics from the SNAX/APC subsystem. Status tokens
obtain state information that pertains to an object or group of objects in the
SNAX/APC subsystem. Trace tokens specify tracing information pertaining to an
object in the subsystem.
Table 4-4 groups all the SNAX/APC tokens and extensible structures according to
their attribute classification category. Detailed descriptions of each of the simple
tokens are alphabetized in the subsection “Simple Tokens Used by SNAX/APC”
following Table 4-4. Event reporting tokens are not detailed in this section but in
Section 6, “Event Management.” The “Simple Tokens Used by SNAX/APC”
subsection is followed by a subsection detailing the extensible structured tokens from
Table 4-4.
This section also describes those SNAX/APC definitions that are not described
elsewhere in the manual, such as the SNAX/APC version number value and the buffer
declaration for message buffers that can be used with the SPI procedures.
