Table of Contents
NetCI is a network command interpreter that enables you to more efficiently manage and operate the systems in a network. It allows you to execute MPE commands (or UDCs) and to run programs on any node from one location. It lets you automatically establish remote sessions on several nodes and then broadcast commands to selected MPE V and MPE/iX nodes. NetCI also allows you to redirect input and output, sequentially execute commands on multiple nodes, and gather data from multiple nodes. NetCI is an enhanced capability of the NS 3000/iX network services. On MPE/iX based machines, NetCI requires the MPE/iX operating system version A.30.00 or later. NetCI is a special application program which utilizes Virtual Terminal (VT) service. Figure 8-1 “NetCI and OSI Model” shows how the VT service corresponds to the application layer and how NetCI is logically located on top of VT. NetCI uses VT to establish a connection with each of the remote nodes. This VT connection allows you to execute MPE commands, UDCs, or user programs on the remote nodes. You only need to install NetCI on one MPE/iX or MPE V node (called the management node). NetCI does not need to be installed on remote nodes of a network. Remote nodes can be either MPE V or MPE/iX nodes. NetCI can establish remote sessions and can broadcast commands to other networks in an internetwork (network with gateways). |
