Field Descriptions
•
The user ID of the last user validated by a function performed during the current
session.
Password
Use the Password field to enter the password of the Guardian user specified in the
User field. The NetBatch-Plus application does not display the characters you type and
clears the password from the field after validation. For more information on password
entry, see Password Validation on page 6-182.
The password is not required if you validated the user ID on the Password Validation
screen or performed another function requiring password entry.
Parameter
Use the Parameter field to specify the startup message for the process you select.
Table 6-10 on page 6-220 gives examples for the processes shown on the standard
Utility Menu screen.
If you select the BATCHCOM command interpreter but do not specify a scheduler in
the Parameter field, the BATCHCOM process opens the last scheduler referenced.
The NetBatch-Plus application shows the name of this scheduler on the right of the F1
function key display.
The process you select uses the logon defaults of the specified Guardian user when
expanding partial file names. Logon defaults are the system, volume, subvolume, and
file security values in effect when the user logged on to the system. To override logon
defaults, specify current defaults in the Parameter field, or qualify file names within the
process. For more information on logon defaults, current defaults, file-name expansion,
and qualifying file names, see the Guardian User’s Guide.
Note. Some processes for which you specify a startup message return the Utility Menu screen
immediately after execution. Therefore, you might not have time to view the result of the
command executed by the process. For example, a FUP process executes an INFO command,
displays file details, and returns the Utility Menu screen without pausing for you to read those
details. To see the results of commands executed by processes behaving in this way, leave the
Parameter field blank and execute the commands from within the process.
