Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI)
Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI)
By using the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI), you can construct system
management programs that monitor and control the TMF environment for you. Most of
the operations available in TMFCOM are also available through SPI.
System management programs allow you to transfer as many of the routine
management tasks to programs as possible. This approach frees system managers
and operators for the work that directly requires their personal judgment and creativity.
Information obtained through SPI can be used directly by an application to control its
actions, monitor events, and produce reports.
As illustrated in Figure 6-1, both TMFCOM and system management programs are
useful for controlling TMF at either a central or remote site.
The SPI commands for TMF are described in TMF Management Programming Manual.
