Abstract
An adjunct processor dynamically determines, on a per-command basis, whether commands obtained by the adjunct processor are to be processed by the adjunct processor. The adjunct processor obtains a command request of a requester. The command request includes at least one filtering indicator indicating at least one valid command type for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester. The adjunct processor determines using the at least one filtering indicator whether a command of the command request is valid for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester. Based on determining that the command is valid for processing by the adjunct processor, the command is processed by the adjunct processor.
Claims20
A computer program product for facilitating processing within a computing environment, the computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer readable storage media and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media to perform a method comprising:
- dynamically determining, by an adjunct processor, whether commands obtained by the adjunct processor are to be processed by the adjunct processor, the dynamically determining being performed on a per-command basis and comprising:
- obtaining, by the adjunct processor, a command request of a requester, the command request including at least one filtering indicator indicating at least one valid command type for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester;
- determining, by the adjunct processor using the at least one filtering indicator, whether a command of the command request is valid for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester;
- and
- processing the command, by the adjunct processor, based on determining that the command is valid for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester.
A computer system for facilitating processing within a computing environment, the computer system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, said method comprising:
- dynamically determining, by an adjunct processor, whether commands obtained by the adjunct processor are to be processed by the adjunct processor, the dynamically determining being performed on a per-command basis and comprising:
- obtaining, by the adjunct processor, a command request of a requester, the command request including at least one filtering indicator indicating at least one valid command type for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester;
- determining, by the adjunct processor using the at least one filtering indicator, whether a command of the command request is valid for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester;
- and
- processing the command, by the adjunct processor, based on determining that the command is valid for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester.
A computer-implemented method of facilitating processing within a computing environment, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- dynamically determining, by an adjunct processor, whether commands obtained by the adjunct processor are to be processed by the adjunct processor, the dynamically determining being performed on a per-command basis and comprising:
- obtaining, by the adjunct processor, a command request of a requester, the command request including at least one filtering indicator indicating at least one valid command type for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester;
- determining, by the adjunct processor using the at least one filtering indicator, whether a command of the command request is valid for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester;
- and
- processing the command, by the adjunct processor, based on determining that the command is valid for processing by the adjunct processor for the requester.
