B Considerations for OpenVMS systems
This appendix covers the following topics:
• “CLI Support on OpenVMS” (page 212)
• “DCL commands” (page 213)
• “Special OpenVMS-specific features and considerations” (page 216)
• “Restrictions” (page 217)
CLI Support on OpenVMS
OpenVMS provides a CLI (command-line interface) to the Instant Capacity software. The HP-UX
command syntax can be implemented using foreign command symbols. The DCL ICAP command
provides DCL command support.
HP-UX style commands
The HP-UX command syntax can be used on OpenVMS systems by defining foreign command
symbols to the iCAP images. Add the following three symbol declarations to your LOGIN.COM file
or to the SYLOGIN file to define commands that use the HP-UX syntax:
$ icapmodify :== $ICAP_MODIFY
$ icapnotify :== $ICAP_NOTIFY
$ icapstatus :== $ICAP_STAT
Command options are specified as described in the HP-UX manpages for each command.
OpenVMS command mapping
Table 14 shows the HP-UX iCAP commands and their OpenVMS equivalents.
