Object-Name Templates and Wildcards
Object-Name Templates and Wildcards
Normally, an SCF command line must include an object type and an object name.
However, for some commands, the NonStop™ IPX/SPX subsystem accepts object-name
templates. In an object-name template, you can use one object name to cause multiple
objects of a given type to respond to a single command.
Object-name templates allow you to specify multiple objects with either a single
wildcard character or with text and one or more wildcard characters. With NonStop™
IPX/SPX, you can use the asterisk (*) and the question mark (?) as wildcard characters
in object-name templates. You can use both of these wildcard characters in any valid
combination. (You cannot use an object-name template to specify the PROCESS object
itself, however.)
You can use object-name templates for the PROCESS object in the following SCF
commands:
ABORT
DELETE
INFO
LISTOPENS
NAMES
START
STATUS
STATS
STOP
VERSION
