Specifying Objects There are a number of ways you can create object specifications in a DSNM command.
You can:
Specify individual objects
Specify lists of names with the same qualifiers
Specify lists of names with different qualifiers
Nest object specifications
Following is information on each of these approaches.
Specifying Individual
Objects
If you want to specify a single object, you can use either its name or an alias that has
been defined for it in the DNS database. The syntax is shown in the following box:
[ subsys] [type] [\node.]name
[UNDER [\ node.]$manager] [hierarchy-modifier]
Specifying Objects By Name
Most of the time, if the object you specify is in the DNS database, you need only
specify the name.
In some cases you must specify the subsystem or the object type to clarify which object
you mean. For example, Expand paths and lines have the same name format; SNAX
LUs and PUs have the same name format; and Pathway terminals, TCPs, and server
classes have a single name format. In these cases, if you do not specify the object type,
DSNM uses the default value. See Section 5, “Subsystems,” for the defaults for each
subsystem.
If an object is not in the DNS database, or if you do not know whether it is, it is best to
specify the object by its completely specified name. In general, specify only the
qualifiers that you need for DSNM to apply your command to the intended object.
A DSNM object name that is completely specified (that is, specified by each of the
optional qualifiers) is expressed as follows:
subsystem type name UNDER \node.$manager
For example, the following is a completely specified Pathway object:
PATHWAY TERM PWT1 UNDER \BERLIN.$PMOR
Not all subsystems require that you specify a manager process. In some subsystems,
the object name or the subsystem itself is sufficient for DSNM to determine which
process carries out operations on the object. In that case, a completely specified
subsystem object is expressed as follows:
subsystem type \node.name
For example, the following is a completely specified Expand object:
EXPAND LINE \BERLIN.$XL1
