Auxiliary Address Space

An initial auxiliary address space is created from a service request that the SCS address space makes. More auxiliary address spaces are created as needed.

The auxiliary address spaces are created and managed dynamically, depending on the level of concurrent configuration requests. They handle service requests on behalf of the SCS address space.

The SCS address space performs service requests on behalf of a user who is implementing a configuration. The SCS address space creates the auxiliary address spaces and schedules service requests to the auxiliary address spaces once they are active. The auxiliary address space executes the requests and the results are returned to the SCS address space.
