NetCI
NEWNODE
NEWNODE
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.
