subsystem	The reporting subsystem name
object-type	The object, or device, type
object-name	The fully qualified name of the object
State	One of the valid object states: ABORTING, DEFINED,
	DIAGNOSING, INITIALIZED, SERVICING, STARTED, START-

	UNKNOWN
PPID	The primary processor number and process identification number

SCF Object States

Table 3-3 lists and explains the possible object states that the SCF STATUS command can report.

Table 3-3. SCF Object States (page 1 of 2)

State	Substate	Explanation
ABORTING		The object is being aborted. The object is
		responding to an ABORT command or some type
		of malfunction. In this state, no new links are
		allowed, and drastic measures might be underway
		to reach the STOPPED state. This state is
		irrevocable.
DEFINED		One of the generally defined possible conditions of
		an object with respect to the management of that
		object.
DIAGNOSING		The object is in a subsystem-defined test mode
		entered through the DIAGNOSE command.
INITIALIZED		The system has created the process, but it is not
		yet in one of the operational states.
