Enabling ZOM

ZOM is an integrated component for object management. It is highly recommended that it remains on permanently to obtain the benefits of analyzing and manipulating objects. If you are using ZOM on the command line, you must first enable ZOM before using any of the object management services during a Zim session. This is done by invoking ZOMEnable as shown in the following example:

ZOMEnable

This procedure initializes the ZOM for the session and searches its Object Dictionary for any objects that are unknown to the ZOM. These objects are automatically “registered” in the ZOM object database. (The registration of the object is described later in this section.)

If you plan to make regular use of ZOM from the command line, it is recommended to run ZOMEnable in your startup program (ie, ZimPROF) while developing an application.

If, during a session, you want to shut down ZOM, issue the ZOMDisable command as shown in the following example:

ZOMDisable
