Development Guide
DSNM Commands
UNDEFINED, MONITORED, NOT-MONITORED, ACCEPTABLE, and
UNACCEPTABLE. There is no default for the highlight modifier.
FROM-DISPLAY causes the command to use the names on the NetStatus display
instead of resolving them through Distributed Name Service (DNS), thus speeding
name resolution. The FROM-DISPLAY parameter is valid only if you are issuing
the UPDATE command from the NetStatus command line and all the objects
specified in the command appear on the NetStatus screen. (Refer to the NetStatus
User’s Guide for more information.)
MONITOR | NOMONITOR
determines whether the specified objects are to be monitored or not when they
appear on the NetStatus display.
ACCEPT [UP] [DOWN] [PENDING]
changes the acceptable state of the specified objects to the states indicated. If no
states are indicated, the current state becomes the acceptable state. Objects not in an
acceptable state are highlighted when they appear on the NetStatus display.
Considerations
If you specify ACCEPT with no parameters, DSNM replaces the values in the
acceptable states field of the object entry with the current state of the object. If you
specify more than one subsystem object in the UPDATE command line, DSNM replaces
the acceptable states for each object with that object’s current state. If you specify
ACCEPT followed by any combination of the keywords UP, DOWN, and PENDING,
DSNM replaces the current acceptable states for each object with the states that you
specify.
The UPDATE command is not supported in NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
Note. Objects not defined in the object database are excluded by all values of the
highlight modifier except UNDEFINED.
Note. The MONITOR and NOMONITOR parameters are similar in name to two values of
the highlight modifier; be careful to distinguish them:
•
MONITOR and NOMONITOR are parameters that can be used with the UPDATE
command to switch monitoring on and off.
•
MONITORED and NOT-MONITORED are values of the highlight modifier that limit the
scope of the command either to objects currently being monitored or to objects not
currently being monitored.
