SETMANAGER Command
SETMANAGER Command
The SETMANAGER command allows you to explicitly set a subsystem service
manager process name rather than having SCF determine the name. Using this
command sets a specified service manager for subsequent SCF commands. This is a
nonsensitive command.
OUT file-spec
causes any SCF output generated for this command to be directed to the specified
file.
\system
is the name of the system on which the manager process exists. If omitted, the
default system name is used.
$process
defines the name of the manager process to which to send commands. The
variable $process overrides the default name supplied by SCF. The default is
$SSCP or, when using multiple service managers, the object name is $SSCPn,
where n is a number assigned at the time of configuration.
If a SETMANAGER command is not issued, the SCF commands are sent by default to
$SSCP. Similarly, using a SETMANAGER command without specifying the service-
manager process resets the service manager to $SSCP. This means, all subsequent
SCF commands are sent to $SSCP for SNAX devices and subdevices.
Multiple service managers can reside in a single NonStop node; each service-manager
process controls its own network configuration. Using multiple services managers
allows the user to easily:

Increase the capacity of the network by configuring more lines, PUs, and LUs

Provide faster configuration and start-up times

Improve operations management

Logically group different business functions

Isolate areas of the network for testing, installation, and upgrades

Dynamically delete and add a single service-manager process without
impacting other service-manager process in the network
You cannot add the SUBSYS object, but you can alter its attributes and use the SCF
INFO, NAMES, STATS, and STATUS commands to get information about it. When
SNAX/APN supports a single operator interface for all service-manager processes in
