Activating and Deactivating Resources

Resources in a TPF/SNA system are defined as active or inactive. TPF only uses active resources. The TPF operator controls activation and deactivation of resources. Resources include:

Resources are activated and deactivated via the ZNETW command.

See TPF Operations for complete description of the ZNETW command format.

Other resources in the named resource's hierarchy may be affected indirectly.

For example, a request to activate a local SSCP implies the activation of the application logical units under the control of the SSCP. If the SSCP is already active, only its logical units will be activated. If both the SSCP and its logical units are active, then no action is taken.

The ZNKEY command permits you to alter and/or display fields in the SNA communications keypoint.

The ZNPOL command is used to initiate/stop polling of a NCP/CTC device.
