Abstract
A method for specifying devices able to handle device requests in a computing network environment comprising a main memory having a queuing mechanism with a plurality of queues in processing communication with an adapter and a plurality of devices and/or processors. The format and attributes of devices in said the environment is determined as well as the size and attributes of the queues. When a request for data processing is received from at least one input/output device capable of attaching to the computing environment, the characteristics of any processors or device capable of processing the data is determined. A special store subchannel command is issued specifying which device or processor the request can be sent to after analyzing all information about the size, characteristics and attributes previously gathered. In this way information is provided about which processor or device can process the information using the special store subchannel command.
