Object Types
You can monitor and control the Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem by issuing
commands that act on one or more Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem objects. Each
object has an object type and an object name. The object type describes the type of
object. The object name uniquely identifies the object within the system.
The Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem has two PROCESS object types:
•
TCPMAN
•
TCPSAM
The TCPMAN and TCPSAM processes support different subordinate objects and have
different SCF command syntax, attribute definitions, and displays. This section
describes each command in alphabetical order. In this section, when the command
applies to both the TCPMAN and TCPSAM processes, the TCPMAN command syntax
is described first with the TCPSAM command syntax immediately following.
There are six object types supported by TCPMAN:
•
PROCESS
•
MON
•
SUBNET
•
ROUTE
•
ENTRY
•
null
There are four object types supported by TCPSAM:
•
PROCESS
•
SUBNET
•
ROUTE
•
null
Figure 5-1 on page 5-3 shows the object hierarchy for TCPMAN and that the route,
subnet, and entry object types are peers. The route, subnet, and entry object types are
subordinate to the process and monitor (TCPMON) objects. This hierarchy is important
when issuing commands to the Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem for processing. For
example, because the route, subnet, and entry object types are subordinate to the
process and monitor (TCPMON) object types, any commands pertaining to a route,
subnet, or entry object type can be issued only when the process and monitor
(TCPMON) objects are in the STARTED summary state.
