<h1 class="topictitle1">Objects</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Everything on the system that can be worked with is considered
|
||
|
|
an object. Objects provide a common interface for working with system components.
|
||
|
|
This topic discusses the different kinds of objects and how to work with them.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>One of the differences between iSeries™ servers and other servers is
|
||
|
|
the concept of objects. Anything that you can change in the operating system
|
||
|
|
is a type of object. For example, data files, programs, libraries, queues,
|
||
|
|
user profiles, and device descriptions are all types of objects. By treating
|
||
|
|
everything as an object, the operating system can provide all of these items
|
||
|
|
with an interface that defines what actions users can perform, and how the
|
||
|
|
operating system needs to treat the encapsulated data. Additionally, this
|
||
|
|
interface allows for standardized commands across very different system elements;
|
||
|
|
the commands for working with user profiles and data files are similar.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>One important type of object is the library. Libraries are essentially
|
||
|
|
containers, or organizational structures for other objects, and you can use
|
||
|
|
them to reference other objects on your system. Libraries may contain many
|
||
|
|
objects, and may be associated with a specific user profile or application.
|
||
|
|
The only library that may contain other libraries is called QSYS. It contains
|
||
|
|
all other libraries on the system.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are many different types of objects in the operating
|
||
|
|
system. Finding objects and performing actions on them are basic functions
|
||
|
|
of system operations.</p>
