BOOT Command

The BOOT command prepares one or more controllers for a microcode download. It is

a sensitive command. The SCF BOOT LINE command is valid for SNAX line type 58,5.

Once issued, the line continuously downloads until an SCF START LINE command is

issued and the line is in the STARTED state.

OUT file-spec

causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified

file. file-spec must be a partially or fully qualified file name. If this option is not

specified, the output is sent to the home terminal.

object-name

is the name of a PROCESS object to be prepared for downloading, or the name of

a SUBSYS object whose subordinate objects are to be prepared for downloading.

SUB [ subtype ]

selects the subordinate objects the command affects. subtype can be a

subordinate object type or one of the keywords ONLY, ALL, or NONE.

If a subordinate object type is named, only objects of that type are affected. ONLY

specifies that only the subordinate objects are affected. ALL specifies that the

named object and the subordinate objects are affected. NONE specifies that the

named object is affected but none of the subordinate objects are affected. If

subtype is omitted, ALL is assumed.

The SUB option is required for the SUBSYS object, and is not valid for the

PROCESS object.

Consideration

The BOOT command cannot be issued unless the line-handler process is stopped and

at least one LINE object and one PU object have been defined with the ADD command

but not started.
