SELECT-HOSTS Define hosts for SM2 statements and screen output

This statement is used to define the hosts for which SM2 administration statements are to apply and for which screens are to be output. If reports are output, the selected remote hosts send their monitored data to the local host.

The statement only works locally for the user who issues it. Any caller with administration rights can define his or her own list of hosts. The END statement deletes the definition.

Operands

HOST-NAME =
Specifies the appropriate host names.

HOST-NAME = *ALL
Selects all hosts.

HOST-NAME = *LOCAL
Selects the user’s own host.

HOST-NAME = list-poss(16): <alphanum-name 1..8>
Selects the hosts specified via the host names.

Specifies the MSCF-specific partner type of the host.

PARTNER-TYPE = *XCS

The host name uniquely identifies a host in a processor network. This name must be specified in the SELECT-HOSTS statement and is output on the screens as the host name.

Note that when an MSCF connection is set up, a processor name must be specified.

The processor name can be different from the host name. The processor name only identifies a system locally for one other system, not globally for the whole network.The host name is the same as the local processor name.
