SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN Objects
For SCF commands that pertain to an object, the keyword is followed by an object type
and an object name. For example, the following command deletes the physical unit
(PU) object named $SNAP1.#PU2:
DELETE LINE $SNAP1.#PU2
If additional information is required, the object name is followed by a comma and the
parameters required to further specify the action to be taken. For example, the
following command changes the value of the RECSIZE attribute for the PU object
named $APN1.#PU1:
ALTER LINE $APN1.#PU1, RECSIZE 2000
In some commands that provide displayed information, such as the INFO and STATUS
commands, you can specify the DETAIL keyword to obtain a more lengthy, detailed
information display.
The full syntax of each subsystem-specific SCF command for SNAX/XF and
SNAX/APN is given in Section 13, SCF Commands for SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN, The
syntax of SCF commands in general is given in the SCF Reference Manual for G-
series RVUs.
SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN Objects
SCF controls a wide variety of subsystems, the individual components of which are
called “objects.” Each object has an object type and an object name. The object type
describes the kind of object, such as APPL (application), LINE (line), LU (logical unit),
or PU (physical unit). The object name uniquely identifies an object within the
subsystem. Object names follow a consistent set of naming conventions.
The SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN subsystems are structured hierarchically, with objects of
one type logically subordinate to objects of another type. For example, objects of type
LU are subordinate to objects of type PU.
Some SCF commands include an optional SUB parameter that refers to subordinate
objects. The SUB parameter has the following syntax:
SUB [ subtype ]
This parameter selects the subordinate objects the command affects. subtype can
be a subordinate object type or one of the keywords NONE, ALL, or ONLY.
If a subordinate object type is named, only objects of that type are affected. NONE
specifies that the named object is affected, but none of its subordinate objects are
affected. ALL specifies that the named object and its subordinate objects are affected.
ONLY specifies that only the subordinate objects are affected. If subtype is omitted,
NONE is assumed.
For example, the following command displays the names of all PU objects subordinate
to the LINE object $APN1:
NAMES LINE $APN1, SUB PU
