Adds a node and its logon information to the user's NetCI configuration.

Syntax

NEWNODE node logon[;dsline=NS nodename]

Parameters

node

NetCI name or identifier for the node to be added. The NetCI name may be a maximum of 15 characters.

logon

Node's logon identification which is a valid logon sequence in the form:

username[/userpass].acctname[/acctpass][,groupname] [/grouppass].

For information on additional MPE logon parameters and options, refer to the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual.

NS nodename

If the NetCI name (specified in the node field) is the same as the NS 3000 node name, leave this field blank. If the NetCI name is not the same as the NS 3000 node name, specify the NS node name configured in the NS 3000 network.

Discussion

Make sure that the NS node name specified in ;dsline=NS nodename is a valid NS node name and is entered correctly (not misspelled). If you enter an erroneous node name into the NetCI configuration, NetCI will only discover the invalid node name when it attempts to log on to a target node.

There are special considerations that apply to scripting (refer to "Redirecting NetCI Input and Output" discussed later in this chapter for further details) that you must consider during configuration:

  • If a password is required to initiate a logon session, make sure to include the password.

  • If remote application programs will poll terminals for termtype during logon (which occurs when the application is run as part of a logon UDC), make sure that you specify the termtype option with the logon information. If it is not specified, connection to that remote node on which the application is running will hang.

Examples

Example 1

This example adds nodes with logon sessions to the NetCI configuration.

     NetCI>NEWNODE K OPERATOR.SYS/NET3K     NetCI>NEWNODE Y OPERATOR.SYS/NET3Y     NetCI>NEWNODE I OPERATOR.SYS/NET3I     NetCI>NEWNODE J OPERATOR.SYS/NET3J     NetCI>NEWNODE L OPERATOR.SYS/NET3L     NetCI>NEWNODE H OPERATOR.SYS/NET3H

Since the ;dsline= NS nodename option is not specified after the logon information, the NetCI name for each node will be the actual NS 3000 node name. In the example, the default environment for each of the above nodes will be:

     ;DSLINE=K     ;DSLINE=Y     ;DSLINE=I     ;DSLINE=J     ;DSLINE=L     ;DSLINE=H

Example 2

This example assigns a NetCI name (or identifier) to a logon session on node Y.

     NetCI>NEWNODE CHABLIS OPERATOR.SYS/NET3K;DSLINE=Y

Y is the NS node name. The node name specified for the ;dsline=NS nodename option must be the actual NS 3000 node name specified in the NS 3000 configuration. In NetCI, CHABLIS now refers to a specific session on remote node Y under the user name OPERATOR.

An NS node may be assigned more than one NetCI name and logon session. For example,

     NetCI>NEWNODE PINOIT MGR.SYS/NET3K;DSLINE=Y 

assigns node Y another NetCI name and user on that node. In NetCI, PINOIT refers to a session established on remote node Y under the user name MGR. This example shows that two NetCI names, CHABLIS and PINOIT, are assigned to node Y. These two names refer to node Y with different user sessions being established.
