The following information is displayed:

Table 6 Fields in the Default (D) Display Type

Field

Description

<D>

Indicates the Default display type.

O (Option)

Option field. Allows entry of line options to be applied to a specific object.

OBJECT

Name of the object.

CURRENT

Current status of the object.

DESIRED

Desired status of the object

CLASS

Object class. This field can be used to create logical groups of objects, for easier management by method rules, described in Component Details.

MODE

Control-O/COSMOS mode of the objects. Indicates how Control-O/COSMOS is currently managing the object. Valid values are:

  • FREE – Normal operation mode.
  • NOPRE – Prerequisites are not checked before changing the status of the object.
  • FORCE_OK – Desired status of the object is modified to match the current status. If the current status is changed, the desired status is modified again so that it continues to match the current status.
  • HELD – The object is kept in the current status. No changes are made to the object status (regardless of whether or not the current status and desired status of the object match).

Note: If a mode other than FREE is specified for a database or for all of Control-O/COSMOS, that mode overrides the mode specified for specific objects. For more information, see Database Status Screen.

STATUS

Status of the object as determined by Control-O/COSMOS the last time Control-O/COSMOS scanned the Object database. Valid values are:

  • STEADY UP – The current and desired statuses of the object are UP (or an equivalent status).
  • STEADY DOWN – The current and desired statuses of the object are DOWN (or an equivalent status).
  • GLOBAL HELD – HELD mode is specified either for the Object database containing the object or for the entire Control-O/COSMOS facility.
  • GLOBAL FORCE_OK – FORCE_OK mode is specified either for the Object database containing the object or for the entire Control-O/COSMOS facility.
  • GLOBAL NOPRE – NOPRE is specified either for the Object database containing the object or for the entire Control-O/COSMOS facility.

CD=xy PR=pr1 pr2 pr3 ...

The current and desired statuses of the object do not match where:

  • xy is an abbreviated form of the current and desired statuses. (For more information, see the CD field explanation in "Display Type A (All)" on page 34.)
  • pr1, pr2, and so on, are prerequisites that must be fulfilled before the difference between the current and desired statuses can be resolved.

Note: If the current or desired status of the object was changed more recently than the last time Control-O/COSMOS scanned the Working Object database, the value in the STATUS field may not reflect the current object status. (The STATUS field is updated the next time Control-O/COSMOS scans the Working Object database.
