MAKESTREAM
Creates a job stream that can then be used to perform network directory
or configuration file updates on remote nodes.
Syntax
MAKESTREAM streamfile, nodefile, commandfile
Parameters
streamfile The name of a file to be created that will contain
the job stream commands. The format is:
filename[.groupname[.accountname]]
The file must not already exist. The default
allocation of 5000 variable length records may be
overridden through a file equation.
nodefile The name of the file that contains a list of nodes to
be updated. The format is the same as that for
streamfile. This file may be generated by
redirecting the output of the LISTDIR command into a
file, which may then be submitted directly to
MAKESTREAM or edited with a text editor such as
TDP/3000. All node name entries must begin with an
alphabetic character.
commandfile The name of a file that contains NMMGR maintenance
mode commands. The format is the same as that for
streamfile. The commands in this file are applied to
each node listed in nodefile.
Description
MAKESTREAM generates a text file of job stream commands suitable for
updating a group of nodes. The job stream is created based on a list of
nodenames contained in the nodefile supplied. The nodefile acts as a
control file. The update status of each node is recorded for review in
the event of update failures such as transport problems or a network
being inaccessible.
The standard logon is NETADMIN.SYS,PUB. Progress messages are sent to
OPERATOR.SYS. These and other parts of the job stream may be customized
using a text editor once the stream file is created. The commands
executed on each node in the nodefile are taken from commandfile.
Commands may be any NMMGR maintenance mode commands and are executed on
the remote side of the connection established for each node being
updated.
Only lines that begin with an alphabetic character in column one of the
nodefile are considered node name entries.
Example
nodefile NLIST contains the following:
ASTRO.MKT.IND
POGO.DCL.IND
commandfile CMDS contains the following:
OPENDIR NSDIR.PUB.SYS
:FILE SRCDIR=NSDIR.PUB.SYS:$BACK
MERGEDIR *SRCDIR;NOKEEP
LISTDIR
EXIT
To generate and run a job stream, use the following commands:
NMMGR>MAKESTREAM SFILE, NLIST, CMDS
Generating job statements for node ASTRO.MKT.IND
Generating job statements for node POGO.DCL.IND
NMMGR>:STREAM SFILE
#J1072
After job completion, file NLIST contains the following:
ASTRO.MKT.IND UPDATED 04/20/90 11:09 AM
POGO.DCL.IND UPDATED 04/20/90 11:14 AM
