Overview of the BCAM commands

The BCAM commands chapter offers a complete description of all BCAM commands. These are available in the SDF format. To guarantee compatibility, commands are also offered in the ISP format. Commands in the ISP format are mapped to the SDF format and extensions will only be provided in the SDF format.

In this chapter you will find an overview of all BCAM commands and their syntax in the SDF and ISP format.

With a few exceptions, all BCAM commands require the privilege NET-ADMINISTRATION or TSOS; OPERATING is also permitted for consol commands. If a BCAM command can be executed with the privilege STD-PROCESSING, this is noted on the corresponding manual page.

The following table displays the current BCAM commands (SDF format) and their corresponding old commands (ISP format):

Command	Corresponding command (ISP format)
ACTIVATE-LINE	BCIN LINE=<line>,ACT=YES BCACT LINE=<line>
CREATE-PROCESSOR	BCIN GEN=N or BCIN GEN=R,... dynamic BCIN at node or remote processor

CREATE-LINE	Subfunction of BCIN GEN=L,...
CREATE-ROUTE	BCIN GEN=N,NAME-OF-ROUTE,.. or. BCIN GEN=R,NAME-OF-ROUTE,...
CREATE-VIRTUAL-HOST	CREATE-HOST (extended by job variable STATUS-JV, old command does not provide this function)
