SPI Programming Considerations

TERM Objects
1. Issue the STATUS TCP command, initializing the ZTCP field in 
ZPWY-DDL-SEL-TCP to the TCP name.
2. Issue the STATUS TCPTERM command, initializing the ZTCP field in 
ZPWY-DDL-SEL-TCPTERM to the TCP name and initializing the ZTERM field 
to ZPWY-VAL-ALLTERM.  
3. Reissue the STATUS TCPTERM command continually, using the context 
token returned by PATHMON, until no data is returned in the reply buffer.
TERM Objects
When developing a management application that defines and manages TERM objects, 
consider the following:
•
Most TERM commands in SPI are very similar in function to the TERM commands 
in the PATHCOM interface. The exceptions are the TELL commands. For more 
information, see Tell Messages on page 3-33.
PROG Objects
When developing a management application that defines and manages PROG objects, 
consider the following:
•
A PROGTERM entry can only belong to one PROG entry. A PROGTERM entry 
cannot exist without a corresponding PROG entry. There can be multiple 
PROGTERM entries, one per device type.
•
A PROG is identified by a PROG name; a PROGTERM is identified by a device 
type name (for example, T16-6530) within the PROG name.
•
To implement the equivalent of the PATHCOM ADD PROGRAM command, use 
ADD PROG plus one ADD PROGTERM for each supported device.
•
To implement the equivalent of the PATHCOM RUN PROGRAM command, use 
the START PROG command.
Tell Messages
When developing a management application that defines and controls tell messages, 
consider the following:
•
The PATHCOM TELL TERM command is implemented with the SPI ADD TELL, 
TELL TERM, and START TELL commands.
•
To perform the equivalent of the PATHCOM TELL TERM (term-1, term-2), 
“string” command, follow these steps:
1. Add the tell message with the text “HELLO”:
1. Call SSINIT, issuing ZPWY-CMD-ADD and ZPWY-OBJ-TELL.
