CIP
CIP= process-name [ [, process-name ] … ]
specifies the process name(s) of the conversational interface process(es) (CIPs)
with which NonStop NET/MASTER MS communicates to handle Distributed
Systems Network Management (DSNM) utility commands.
You can specify up to 10 CIPs. If you cannot specify all CIP names in a single line,
you can repeat the PARAM CIP command to specify additional CIP names.
You can specify a unique process name from one through six characters long.
(This includes the initial dollar sign ($) of the process name.) You can specify a
process name in the form:
$ process-name
Considerations
DSNM utility commands are used to start and terminate interactive sessions with
Guardian utilities. See the OPSYS command for additional information on DSNM
utility commands.
If you include both the PARAM CIP and PARAM CIPPROCESS commands in the
configuration file, the PARAM CIP command has precedence. (If you include
both commands, although NonStop NET/MASTER MS creates the CIP named by
the PARAM CIPPROCESS command, NonStop NET/MASTER MS never uses it.
This applies regardless of the order in which PARAM CIP and PARAM
CIPPROCESS appear in the configuration file.)
When a user initially establishes contact with a CIP, all OPSYS commands
executed during the user’s session subsequent to the first command are sent to the
same CIP. If the PARAM CIP command specifies more than one CIP, each new
user and NCL process is allocated the next available CIP that best balances system
loading when contact is established.
Example
The following example specifies eight CIPs:
PARAM CIP=$ZCP1,$ZCP2,$ZCP3,$ZCP4
PARAM CIP=$ZCP5,$ZCP6,$ZCP7,$ZCP8
The SHOW PARAM command displays these processes in the following way:
CIP[1]=$ZCP1
CIP[2]=$ZCP2
CIP[3]=$ZCP3
CIP[4]=$ZCP4
CIP[5]=$ZCP5
CIP[6]=$ZCP6
CIP[7]=$ZCP7
CIP[8]=$ZCP8
