SNAX/HLS Management Programming Manual

3 Communicating With the
SNAX/HLS Manager Process
104708 Tandem Computers Incorporated 3–1
SNAX/HLS commands are processed and responses are generated by the SNAX/HLS
process. However, your applications do not communicate directly with the
SNAX/HLS subsystem; instead, applications communicate with the Subsystem
Control Point (SCP), which routes commands to specific data communications
subsystems and routes responses back to the appropriate applications.
SCP uses the manager token, ZSPI–TKN–MANAGER, to determine the destination
subsystem. If ZSPI–TKN–MANAGER is absent, SCP uses the first
ZCOM–TKN–OBJNAME token. At least one of these two tokens must be present in
every command.
The manager token's value identifies which instance of SNAX/HLS is to handle your
request. If the token’s value is absent, SCP uses the process–name portion of the value
of the ZCOM–TKN–OBJNAME token.
