PURGEVC 

Purges an X.25 virtual circuit address key from the network directory and
the configuration file.

Syntax 

PURGEVC [filename]

Parameters 

filename              The name of a text file that contains X.25 address
                      information for each remote node to be added to the
                      configuration file and directory.  The format for
                      the file name is:

                      filename[.groupname[.accountname]]

                      A file lockword may not be specified.  The contents
                      of the file must be formatted as described below.

Description 

PURGEVC removes an address key from both the local network directory and
the configuration file.  If there are multiple occurrences of the same
address key under a single NI, all occurrences are purged.  The directory
node associated with the address key to be purged will be purged itself
if it contains no other addresses.

The directory and configuration files must be opened either via the Open
Configuration/Directory File screen or via the OPENDIR and OPENCONF
maintenance mode command before ADDVC is invoked.

PURGEVC can be run interactively, by entering maintenance mode from
screen mode and typing the command, or it can be run from a batch job.

When PURGEVC is used interactively and no filename is specified, the user
is prompted to enter address parameters for each remote node.  When
PURGEVC is run interactively and a filename is specified, or when the
command is run from a job, entries must be made in the following format:

nodename[,] address key[,] NI name  [;]

The description of each address key parameter is as follows:

nodename            The name of a node for which the address key is to be
                    purged.  The format is:

                    nodename.domain.organization

                    Each of the three names may be from one to sixteen
                    characters long, must begin with a letter, and may
                    contain letters, digits, underscores, or dashes.

address key         The name tag used to relate a node name and IP
                    address from the network directory with a switched or
                    permanent virtual circuit address configured under an
                    X.25 NI in the local configuration file.  the name
                    may contain a maximum of eight alphanumeric
                    characters.

NI name             The network interface name.  The name of the local
                    X.25 NI, (configured under the path NETXPORT.NI). The
                    name may contain a maximum of eight alphanumeric
                    characters.

Example 

To purge a virtual circuit associated with the NI named X25 for the node
named NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG:

     NMMGR>OPENCONF NMCONFIG
     NMMGR>OPENDIR NSDIR.NET.SYS
     NMMGR>PURGEVC
     Enter the node name (or press return to exit):
     PURGEVC >NODE1.XLNET.ACCTG
     Enter address key:
     PURGEVC > NODE1
     Enter NI name:
     PURGEVC >X25

     Address key NODE1 deleted.
     Enter node name (or press return to exit):

     NMMGR>
