Operating on Multiple Objects

SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN do not support wild-card characters (* or ?) in object names.

However, most SCF commands for SNAX/XF and SNAX/APN allow you to specify

multiple object names in a single command.

APPL Objects

An APPL object allows an application process of a given type to open the service-

manager process.

SNAX/XF APPL objects include the SNAX Creator and SNAX Creator-2 processes

(used with SNAX/XF LU Network Services, or LUNS), applications that communicate

with the LUNS and Communications Network Management (CNM) interfaces, and

SNAX/CM processes.

APPL objects apply to SNAX/APN only when the extended logon facility (XLF) is used.

An APPL object allows the SNAX Creator-2 process to open the service-manager

process.

No more than 100 APPL objects can be configured under one SUBSYS object (one

service manager); this limit includes both SNAX/APN and SNAX/XF APPL objects if a

service manager is used to manage both products. No objects are subordinate to

objects of type APPL.

Naming Conventions

The format of the APPL object name is as follows:

service-manager-name

is the unique name of a service manager. The default $SSCP or, when using

multiple service managers, the object name is $SSCPn, where n is a number

assigned at the time of configuration.

subdevice-name

is the unique subdevice name to be used by an application to open a service

manager. The name consists of 1 through 7 alphanumeric characters, the first of

which must be a letter.

Note. An APPL object does not need to be configured for a LUNS application that is a

Pathway process.
