ALLBASE/NET User's Guide: HP 3000 MPE/iX Computer Systems > Chapter 2 Setting Up ALLBASE/NET![]() Setting Up ALLBASE/NET on the Client |
|
There are two tasks you perform on the client to set up ALLBASE/NET:
The AliasDB file contains an alias profile for each alias name that corresponds to a DBEnvironment on the server. You create the file the first time you add an alias profile with NETUtil's ADD ALIAS command. Once the file is created, use ADD ALIAS to add more alias profiles to it. NETUtil provides three commands for maintaining alias profiles in the AliasDB file: CHANGE ALIAS, DELETE ALIAS, and SHOW ALIAS. Instructions for using these commands follow later in this section. If you are using ARPA services, the SERVICES.NET.SYS on the client requires an ARPA user entry. If this entry doesn't exist, you must update the file. The section "Checking the Services File on the Client" later in this chapter discusses updating the file. If loopback is being used, the ARPA name needs to be the local host. To add an alias profile to the AliasDB file, you must either log on as MANAGER.SYS, have SM capability, or have AM capability for the account you are working in. Follow these steps to add an alias profile to the AliasDB file:
After you respond to the last prompt, the following message appears, followed by the NETUtil prompt:
For an example of how ADD ALIAS is used, refer to "Examples of Setting Up ALLBASE/NET" at the end of this chapter.
You can change the contents of an alias profile with the CHANGE ALIAS command. For the naming conventions and syntax to use to respond to the prompts, refer to "Adding an Alias Profile," above. To change an alias profile:
For examples of how CHANGE ALIAS is used, refer to the "NETUtil Reference" chapter. To delete one or more aliases from the AliasDB file use the DELETE ALIAS command at the NETUtil prompt. If you enter an alias name, you delete the alias profile for that name. If you enter an asterisk, you delete all alias profiles for a specific server. For the naming conventions and syntax to use to respond to the prompts, refer to "Adding an Alias Profile," above. To delete one alias profile, do the following:
To delete alias profiles for a specific server node, do the following:
For examples of how DELETE ALIAS is used, refer to "NETUtil Reference" chapter. To display one or more alias profiles in the AliasDB file, use the SHOW ALIAS command at the NETUtil prompt. For the naming conventions and syntax to use to respond to the prompts, refer to "Adding an Alias Profile," above. To display one alias profile, enter the alias name of the alias profile you want to display. To display all of the alias profiles, enter an asterisk for the alias name. For an example of how SHOW ALIAS is used, refer to "Examples of Setting Up ALLBASE/NET" at the end of this chapter. If you are using ARPA services, check for a user entry in the SERVICES.NET.SYS file on the client. This file is used by ARPA for dynamic port assignment. The file entry for the ALLBASE/NET service has the official service name DAServer, the port number is usually 987, and the protocol name tcp. The port number in this file must match the port number in the SERVICES.NET.SYS file on the server. The file should look like this:
If the last line above is not there, update the SERVICES.NET.SYS file to include this line. You may need to create a services file. Refer to the sample file SERVSAMP.NET.SYS for the format. |
