Summary States
You can use wild-card characters in any combination.
If you have set a default process name by using the ASSUME command, you can omit
the process name and use the asterisk (*) to specify all objects of the specified object
type under the assumed process. For example, the next two commands set the default
process to $ZZTCP and display information about all subnets under $ZZTCP:
SCF> ASSUME PROCESS $ZZTCP
SCF> INFO SUBNET *.*
Summary States
The Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem objects have operational states, known as
summary states. The summary state of an object at a given instant is important; certain
commands have no effect on an object when it is in one state but can affect the object
when it is in another state.
The summary states supported by the Parallel Library TCP/IP subsystem are
STARTED, STARTING, and STOPPED. Table 5-3 shows the states for each object.
•
In the STARTED summary state, the object is available for data transfer.
•
In the STOPPED summary state, the object is defined (that is, the object exists)
but it is not available for data transfer. The STOPPED summary state is not
applicable to the PROCESS object. If the PROCESS object is not STARTED, it is
undefined (that is, the process does not exist).
SCF> DELETE SUBNET $ZZTCP.*.SN*
The following example deletes all routes subordinate to $ZZTCP that start with R
and end with 5:
SCF> DELETE ROUTE $ZZTCP.*.R*5
? Use the question mark to represent a single unknown character in a specific
position. For example, $ZZTCP.*.S?1 selects all object names subordinate to
$ZZTCP that begin with S, end with 1, and contain exactly one character between
the S and the 1.
