NetCI automatically establishes a session on a node when a
remote command is executed. Simply specify after the NetCI> prompt
the NetCI node or list name followed by the NetCI or MPE command.
NetCI will establish a session on the NS 3000 node associated
with the NetCI node name, or on the nodes belonging to the list.
This eliminates your having to log on remotely to each node when
executing commands and running programs. For example, when you enter
NetCI will automatically log you on to NS 3000 node
Y as operator.sys
and execute the SHOWJOB command. If you recall
from our sample LAN, PINOIT is
associated with logon session operator.sys
on NS node Y. This command will
display the status information for all jobs/sessions/scheduled jobs
on NS node Y.
Node Prompt |
 |
After a command is executed on the remote node, the NetCI>
prompt automatically changes to the node's name. For example,
when you enter
the status information for all jobs/sessions/scheduled jobs
on PINOIT is displayed. The prompt
then changes to
which indicates the node against which you last executed commands
or programs.
You can also change the default prompt to any node prompt
by entering the NetCI node name after the current prompt. For example,
when you enter
the prompt changes to
which is now the default prompt.
By specifying a default prompt, you can execute several commands
on a node without specifying the node name each time you specify
a command. For example, when you enter
CHABLIS>SHOWJOB CHABLIS>SHOWJOB JOB=@JOB CHABLIS>SHOWJOB JOB=@S |
it eliminates your having to specify the node each time.
List Prompt |
|
You can also specify a list name against which a script file,
command, or program can be executed. After the prompt, enter the
list name and command. For example, when you enter
the SHOWJOB command sequentially executes
on all nodes that are members of LIST1
(which includes nodes H, I,
and K). It also eliminates your
having to log on and execute the SHOWJOB command
on each node.
You can also change the default prompt to any list prompt
by entering the list name after the current prompt. For example,
when you enter
the prompt changes to
which is now the default prompt.
By specifying a default list prompt, you can execute several
commands against the list without specifying the list name each
time you specify a command. For example, when you enter
ALLNODES>SHOWJOB ALLNODES>SHOWJOB JOB=@JOB ALLNODES>SHOWJOB JOB=@S |
it eliminates your having to specify the list name each time.
NetCI Prompt |
|
You can return to the NetCI prompt by typing a colon (:) or
NetCI after a node or list prompt. For example, when you enter
or
you will be returned to the NetCI> prompt.
