How to Use NetCI
There are many applications in which you can use NetCI to help access
multiple HP 3000s on the network. Some of the more typical
applications include:
• gathering similar data from all systems such as status information
about jobs/sessions/scheduled jobs;
• performing system check procedures;
• monitoring applications on remote nodes and verifying that all the
necessary processes are operational;
• executing global commands such as running application status
programs on systems supporting that application.
Refer to “Sample Applications” at the end of this section for descriptions
of specific applications that you can develop using NetCI.
NetCI is not a tool for troubleshooting the network. It simply allows you
to reduce troubleshooting time and effort by enabling you to quickly
isolate some network problems from one terminal.
