3 Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands What Is in This Section NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) provides a comprehensive set of commands with which you can control, display information about, and customize your NonStop NET/MASTER MS operations environment. You can use NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands to communicate with local and remote systems, the operating system, Tandem subsystems such as SNAX/XF and Pathway, and remote IBM systems running the SOLVE management services.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Command Authority Levels There is, however, an exception to this general rule: if the authority level of an operand of a command is higher than your authority level, you can still use the operand if the operand only affects you (or an NCL procedure executing under your user ID). For example, by default, the ID operand of the FLUSH command requires an authority level of 2.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Issuing NonStop There are several ways you can issue NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands: NET/MASTER MS Manually enter the command(s) at a command input line and press the ENTER Commands key. The following NonStop NET/MASTER MS facilities have command input lines: OCS Command Entry facility Activity Log Browse facility Press a function key that has a command (or series of commands) assigned to it (in the OCS window only).
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands are not necessarily processed in the order you enter them. For example, the following does not necessarily cause NonStop NET/MASTER MS to process a SHOW SYSPARMS command and then a SHOW OCS command: SHOW SYSPARMS;SHOW OCS Note Exceptions are the CLEAR and K commands, which are always processed first, regardless of their location in the command string.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Issuing Timer Commands Issuing Timer Commands Two NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands enable you to control the time and interval at which other NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands are executed: AT and EVERY. These two commands are referred to as timer commands. The AT command issues a command or series of commands at a specific time of the day. For example, to start the remote link REMOTE1 at 1:00 p.m.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Issuing Timer Commands Specify a 1-character to 12-character timer ID that you can use instead of the system-generated purge ID number to explicitly purge timer commands from the timer queue (the TID operand). Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for a complete description of these and other AT and EVERY command operands.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Issuing Timer Commands Timer commands execute under your authority level, even if you route them to be executed under another NonStop NET/MASTER MS user. Note Timer commands included in an NCL procedure that executes during system startup execute under the authority level of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS user who is bringing up the NonStop NET/MASTER MS application.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands System-Wide Customized Commands System-Wide Customized Commands Each NonStop NET/MASTER MS command discussed in this manual and described in detail in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual may be replaced at your site with a customized version.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands System-Wide Customized Commands Command Replacements NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands can be replaced with an NCL procedure of the same name. For example, at your site, the NonStop NET/MASTER MS SHUTDOWN command may be replaced with an NCL procedure called SHUTDOWN that includes a timer command to warn users at 1-minute intervals that shutdown is imminent. (Command replacements are created with the SYSPARMS CMDREPL command, usually by your system manager.
Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands Executing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands in the Background Executing NonStop Two types of users operate within the NonStop NET/MASTER MS environment: real NET/MASTER MS users and virtual users. Commands in the Real users are human operators who interact with NonStop NET/MASTER MS Background from a terminal, choose options from menu panels, and enter NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands to instruct the system to perform various tasks.

4 Operator Control Services (OCS) What Is in This Section This section introduces the Operator Control Services (OCS) environment and describes its event monitoring and command entry facilities.
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Standard OCS Window The Standard OCS Window Figure 4-1 illustrates the standard OCS window. The OCS window includes a title line, a message display area, an information line, a command input line, and a mode indicator. Figure 4-1.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Roll-Delete Messages There are two major classifications of messages displayed in the message display area: Roll-delete messages convey information that is not of immediate critical importance to your installation. Non-roll-delete (NRD) messages convey information that is of critical importance to your installation.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Roll-Delete Messages Note You can change the roll-time delay interval by using the PROFILE ROLL command, and the roll-delete delimiter character by using the PROFILE DELCHAR command. Temporarily Suspending Roll-Delete Message Delivery If so many roll-delete messages are being written to your window that you cannot read them, you can temporarily suspend the flow by pressing the ENTER key. The holding-mode message HOLDING appears in the information line.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Roll-Delete Messages Table 4-1. AUTOHOLD Settings AUTOHOLD ON AUTOHOLD OFF AUTO Window freezes whenever it is full, regardless of how many messages are waiting to be displayed. NOAUTO Same behavior as above. When AUTOHOLD ON is in effect, the AUTO/NOAUTO toggle has no effect. The window freezes only if there are enough messages in a group queued to cause later messages in the group to wrap past the line on which the first message in the group is displayed.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Roll-Delete Messages The Message Hold Queue While the roll-delete message display is frozen (either in the AUTO HOLD or HOLDING holding-mode), pending roll-delete messages are stored in a message hold queue, and the AUTO HOLD or HOLDING holding-mode message is replaced with: MSG QUEUED The default number of messages that can be held in this queue is 200. When the limit is reached, the earliest messages are discarded and the newest messages are added to the end of the queue.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Non-Roll-Delete (NRD) Messages PAGE Clears the roll-delete message area. Unlike the CLEAR (or K) command, the PAGE command is not moved to the front of the command queue. If you issue a PAGE command while AUTOHOLD is ON, the AUTO HOLD holding-mode message is displayed before the screen is erased. Non-Roll-Delete (NRD) Messages Non-roll-delete (NRD) messages convey information that is of critical importance to your installation.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Non-Roll-Delete (NRD) Messages A full NRD message, which can be displayed on more than one OCS window concurrently, can be simultaneously purged from all the OCS windows on which it is displayed. The Central NRD Message Queue. All full NRD messages are held in a central NRD message queue until they are deleted from both the queue and the OCS windows on which they are displayed.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Non-Roll-Delete (NRD) Messages Pending NRD Messages Because NRD messages remain displayed until some action is taken, the non-rolldelete message display area may become full if you do not remove the messages from your window. New NRD messages are added to the non-roll-delete message queue until there is room in the non-roll-delete message area for them to be displayed.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Non-Roll-Delete (NRD) Messages Generated by a specified NCL process. The following example purges all NRD messages from the NCL process with the NCL ID of 5494: PURGE NRD=5494N Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for more information about the PURGE NRD command. The event that caused the message to be generated is resolved. An NCL process issues a NRDDEL command, specifying the DOM ID of the NRD message to be deleted.
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Command Input Line The Information Line The information line above the OCS command input line displays the following information: Holding-mode messages, as described earlier in this section and summarized in Table 4-2 Table 4-2. Holding-Mode Messages Message Description HOLDING You have pressed the ENTER key to temporarily suspend the flow of messages to the roll-delete message area.
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Mode Indicator The Mode Indicator The OCS command input line prompt indicates whether you are authorized to receive monitor-class messages and also notifies you when NCL procedures are waiting for some type of action, as defined in Table 4-3. Table 4-3. The Mode Indicator Mode Indicator M P A Description You are authorized to receive monitor-class messages (the Monitor Class field is set to YES in your user ID definition record).
Operator Control Services (OCS) Entering and Exiting the Recall Buffer The OCS Recall Buffer The OCS recall buffer contains the current messages in your OCS message display area and the past 100 messages that have been displayed. Using the recall buffer, you can redisplay messages that have been overwritten. The recall buffer holds only messages that have been displayed, not the ones that are queued.
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Recall Buffer Screen The Recall Buffer Screen The recall buffer screen is similar to the OCS window. The command input prompt, however, is replaced by one of the following: CURR: if the screen contains messages that were in the OCS message display area when you accessed the recall buffer PAST: when the screen contains only messages that were overwritten in the OCS message display area You can still issue commands from the command input line.
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Recall Buffer Function Keys The Recall Buffer Function Keys In the recall buffer, the function-key definitions are the same as in OCS. The OCS function keys that are specifically defined for the recall buffer are described in Table 4-4. Table 4-4.
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Recall Buffer Function Keys Table 4-4 shows that all recall buffer function keys for IBM 3270 and compatible terminals are user-defined. You can use either the FK or PF command to define these function keys.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Displaying the Current Function Key Definitions Using the OCS Function Keys Displaying the Current Function Key Definitions Function keys on your keyboard are assigned default definitions. To perform a function assigned to a function key, simply press the appropriate function key. To display the function key settings for your current OCS window, enter the FK command at the OCS command input line.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Customizing Function Keys In the preceding screen example, function keys F1 through F16 are defined to perform the following functions: Function Key F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 F13 F14 F15 F16 Definition Displays help text for the command or event message, depending on where the cursor is positioned. Executes the SPLIT command to open a new window. Executes the X command to return to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Primary Menu screen.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Customizing Function Keys Note You can also use the PF command to define function key settings for both the Tandem 6530 or compatible terminal keyboards and the IBM 3270 or compatible terminal keyboards. Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for details on using the PF command. If you have two OCS windows open, each one can have a unique set of function key definitions.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Customizing Function Keys Table 4-5. Types of Function Key Assignments (Page 2 of 2) Type Definition PREF, text [+] Specifies a prefix function key assignment. Pressing a prefix function key prefixes text to whatever text is currently displayed on the OCS command input line and executes the concatenated string immediately. Including a plus sign (+) adds a blank to the end of text before it is prefixed to the currently displayed text.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Your OCS Operator Profile Your OCS Operator Profile When you enter OCS, an OCS operator profile is created for you.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Issuing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands From OCS Customizing Your Initial Operator Profile The PROFILE INITCMD command specifies a command (or NCL procedure) to automatically execute when you enter OCS. The PROFILE INITCMD value remains in effect after you exit from OCS. The command string you assign to the PROFILE INITCMD operand replaces the value that is currently stored in the Initial OCS Command field in your user ID definition record.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Reexecuting Previously Entered Commands Retaining Commands on the Command Input Line The commands you enter on the OCS command input line remain on the input line after you press the ENTER key. You can override this feature and cause the command input line to be cleared as soon as you press the ENTER key by issuing a PROFILE CMDKEEP=NO command.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Executing Commands From an NCL Procedure Executing Commands From an NCL Procedure You can execute most NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands from within NCL procedures. These commands include timer commands, informational commands, and commands routed to remote systems. Command authority-level checking applies to all commands executed from NCL procedures invoked under your user ID.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Monitoring Events Monitoring Events A primary function of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS product is to process messages that report the occurrences of events throughout the network.
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Event Message Flow Unsolicited Message Receipt The following PROFILE attributes for current OCS session: PROFILE EMS=YES, NO, INFO, NORM, WARN, or SER PROFILE MONMSG=YES or NO PROFILE MSG=YES or NO PROFILE MSGCODE=message-code PROFILE MSGPROC=ncl-procedure PROFILE UNSOL=YES or NO The level of message filtering programmed into: The EMSPROC system procedure (see “The Event Message Flow” next) The MSGPROC procedure (if any) associated with your current OCS window (see “The
Operator Control Services (OCS) The Event Message Flow The EMSPROC procedure determines which events are passed on to the following three NonStop NET/MASTER MS components: The NCL log procedure (referred to as the LOGPROC procedure) that is configured with the SYSPARMS LOGPROC command for your system. A LOGPROC procedure intercepts and processes messages destined for the NonStop NET/MASTER MS activity log.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Message Color and Highlighting Figure 4-2 illustrates how event messages flow between systems and how they are passed to the various message filtering procedures within your local NonStop NET/MASTER MS system. Figure 4-2.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Viewing Messages in the Activity Log Event Message Codes Messages may be identified by one of the message codes defined in Table 4-6: Table 4-6. Event Message Codes Mode Indicator M Description Identifies the message as being a monitor-class message. Monitor-class messages have the monitor-class attribute set.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Working With Two OCS Windows Working With Two You can work with two OCS windows. Each window operates independently of the OCS Windows other. Input is accepted from the window in which the cursor is located; results of commands are returned to the same window. Each window can be customized by using the PROFILE command. Any modifications that you make to your OCS operator profile apply only to the current OCS window.
Operator Control Services (OCS) Naming Windows Naming Windows Note If you are operating with two OCS windows, use the OCSID command to name each window. The OCS window identifier displayed at the right of the information line enables you to easily distinguish between the two windows. If you usually work with two OCS windows open on your terminal, you might want to include NCL code in your initial OCS procedure that names both windows for you when you enter OCS. The &SYS.OCS.ID and &SYS.OCS.

System Support Services The Command Entry Screen The Command Entry Screen The Command Entry screen includes: A two-line COMMAND field A parameter area comprising a set of fields where you specify the system to which commands are to be sent and how you want the responses to those commands to be displayed A message display area The Command Entry screen fields are described in Table 5-2. Table 5-2.
System Support Services The Command Entry Screen Table 5-2. Command Entry Screen Fields (Page 2 of 2) Message Display Attributes Field Description ASYNC Determines how messages are displayed in the message display area: ON Messages are displayed on arrival without operator intervention. OFF Messages are displayed when the operator next interacts with the command entry. This only affects asynchronous commands and unsolicited messages.
System Support Services Entering Commands Receiving Unsolicited Messages In addition to command responses, you may explicitly request that unsolicited messages be displayed in the message display area. Use the PROFILE ENV=CURRENT command followed by the appropriate operand(s) to turn the display of unsolicited messages on or off. For example: PROFILE ENV=CURRENT EMS=YES UNSOL=YES The PROFILE command is discussed in more detail in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual.
System Support Services The Command Stack You cannot use the PROFILE GUID command to change your Guardian user ID. Even though the profile is changed in the Command Entry facility, you will still be identified by your Guardian user ID before the change when you access external utilities. (Therefore, you must use the PROFILE GUID command from OCS to change your Guardian user ID before you enter Command Entry when you access external utilities.

Note The PARAM and SYSPARMS commands for configuring the physical activity log files and controlling the wrapping of logs are discussed in the NonStop NET/MASTER MS System Management Guide.
7 Accessing External Utilities and Applications What Is in This Section In addition to the commands that enable you to control and gather information about your NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) operations, NonStop NET/MASTER MS provides two important commands—OPSYS and PROGRUN— with which you can do the following: Issue Distributed Systems Network Management (DSNM) commands to monitor and control network objects in subsystems supported by DSNM Run Guardian utilities, TACL routines, and third-par
Accessing External Utilities and Applications What Is in This Section Figure 7-1 illustrates how the NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands OPSYS and PROGRUN, and the NCL procedure NETSTAT, provide an interface between NonStop NET/MASTER MS and other Tandem network management facilities. Figure 7-1.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Overview of DSNM Overview of DSNM DSNM is a set of processes, databases, and log files that perform transport, subsystem interface, and status-monitoring services for network management applications. DSNM: Maintains a real-time database of information about subsystem objects that are defined to nodes in the network.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Issuing DSNM Commands With OPSYS Issuing DSNM The NonStop NET/MASTER MS OPSYS command is your interface to the DSNM Commands With command set. The DSNM subsystem commands you can issue with OPSYS are listed OPSYS in Table 7-1. Table 7-1. The DSNM Subsystem Commands Available With OPSYS DSNM Subsystem Command Function ABORT Changes the state of the specified object(s) to DOWN without waiting for outstanding operations to complete.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Getting Help for DSNM Subsystem Commands You can issue a ROUTE link-name OPSYS command to a NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, directing a DSNM command to it, from a SOLVE management services or NetView system running on an IBM platform. You can issue a ROUTE link-name OPSYS command to send a DSNM command to a remote Tandem system running NonStop NET/MASTER MS or to send a console command to a remote IBM system running the SOLVE management services.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Running Conversational Guardian Utilities Note Do not prefix DSNMOBJ and DSNMMODS with the OPSYS command, because they are not DSNM commands; they are entries in the help text database. Running The NonStop NET/MASTER MS OPSYS command is your interface, through DSNM, Conversational to Guardian conversational utilities, and to TACL commands, macros, and routines Guardian Utilities (all of which are referred to as “utilities” in the following discussion).
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Utility Access Security The format of the OPSYS command, when used to run Guardian conversational utilities, is as follows: [ OPSYS ] dsnm-utility-command [ session[ =utility ] [ text ] ] dsnm-utility-command is one of: ANSWER EOF BREAK KILL CLEANUP [ STOP | DOWN ] [ SEND ] session is the name by which the utility session is identified.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Starting a Session With a Utility If you try to establish a session with a utility that has not been defined for your NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, the following error message is displayed: NNM2173 COMMAND AUTHORITY LEVEL NOT SPECIFIED FOR utility cmd In addition, each Guardian utility that has been defined for your NonStop NET/MASTER MS system has a command authority level associated with it.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Starting a Session With a Utility If you refer to the utility by its own name, and if the utility is one that does not accept any commands (for example, DSAP), the utility is started immediately, and responses appear on your screen. If the utility does accept commands, and you have specified a utility command, the responses are displayed in the current window of the OCS screen.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Sending Commands to a Utility into a different OCS window, you will not be able to send commands in the new environment to that FUP1 session for processing. If you want to send commands to a session called FUP1 in the new environment, you must establish a new FUP1 session with FUP. In addition, your current Guardian user ID (GUID) is attached to every utility session you establish.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Sending Commands to a Utility For example, if SYS1 is the name of a link, then when you press the ENTER key from the following screen, you send a SECURE command to the File Utility Program (FUP) on the system connected to SYS1. ------------------------------- COMMAND ENTRY --------------------------------COMMAND : SECURE $DATA.ZNCLPGN.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Sending Commands to a Utility The capture buffer contains the results of the commands: ------------------------------- COMMAND ENTRY --------------------------------COMMAND : : SYSTEM : SYS1 ASYNC ON WRAP OFF CAPTURE 14 LINE 1 UTILITY : FUP SCROLL OFF F4 PRINT MAX CAP 1000 COLUMN 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------INFO $DATA.ZNCLPGN.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Responding to Prompts Generated by Utilities Note Because DSAP does not have associated commands, you cannot enter the Command Entry facility by issuing DSAP from the OCS command input line. You must be in the facility already: for example, through option 6 on the System Support Services Primary Menu screen. You can also send utility commands without using the Command Entry facility, by issuing OPSYS SEND commands.
Accessing External Utilities and Applications Responding to Prompts Generated by Utilities Example The following OCS example sends a request to FUP1 (a session that you have previously started with FUP) to purge all the files in $DATA.MYVOL: OPSYS SEND FUP1 PURGE $DATA.MYVOL.* FUP asks for confirmation, as shown in the following screen: (09:30) --------------------- OPERATOR CONTROL SERVICES ---------------------START OPSYS SEND FUP1 PURGE $DATA.MYVOL.

8 Communicating With Remote Systems What Is in This Section NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) can operate within a single system, a network of NonStop NET/MASTER MS systems, or a network comprising NonStop NET/MASTER MS, the SOLVE management services, and NetView systems.
Communicating With Remote Systems Receiving Solicited and Unsolicited Messages Establishing a session with a remote system allows you to execute commands in that system and have the results returned and displayed on your local terminal. To enable this function, you must satisfy all of the following: Your local user ID definition record must give you access to remote systems. Your user ID must be defined on the target system, and should be the same as your user ID on the local system.
Communicating With Remote Systems Logging On to a Remote System For example, even if you have an authority level of 3 defined for your local user ID, you may be restricted to level 1 commands at the remote system. Commands routed to the remote system that exceed the assigned authority level are rejected.
Communicating With Remote Systems Logging On to a Remote System Note Do not confuse the SIGNON linkname command with the SIGNON command (issued with no operands). SIGNON (issued with no operands) is used to automatically refresh your user ID definition record (if your system manager makes any security-related changes while you are logged on to NonStop NET/MASTER MS, for example), and is discussed in Section 2, “User ID Management Services (UMS).
Communicating With Remote Systems Logging On to a Remote System Specifying a Message Prefix By default, the results of a NonStop NET/MASTER MS, SOLVE management services, or NetView command routed to a remote system are displayed on your local terminal, prefixed with the message identifier (enclosed in parentheses) associated with the particular link name.
Communicating With Remote Systems Logging On to Multiple Remote Systems If a link is reset (see the discussion on “Resetting a Link,” later in this section), you are notified that the connection will not be restarted. You must log on again if a new connection is required.
Communicating With Remote Systems Sending Commands Through Intermediate Systems The results of the command are returned to either: The window where the command was invoked (OCS, Command Entry, or Activity Log Browse) The NCL process that issued the command with an NCL INTCMD verb The owner of the NCL process that issued the command with an NCL CMD statement Note Messages have a data structure that NCL processes can analyze. Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER NCL Programmer’s Guide for more information.
Communicating With Remote Systems Monitoring Events From Remote Systems 3. The second intermediate system executes the third ROUTE command and sends the command string SHOW USERS to the target system through LINK3. 4. The target system executes the SHOW USERS command. There is no limit to the number of systems that may be traversed in this way.
Communicating With Remote Systems Resetting a Link If you log off from a remote system, any NRD messages you have received from that remote system are deleted from your OCS window. Other users displaying the same NRD messages are not affected. Logging Off From a To log off from a remote NonStop NET/MASTER MS system, SOLVE management Remote System services system, or NetView system, do one of the following: Issue the SIGNOFF=linkname command.
Communicating With Remote Systems INMC Link Failures INMC Link Failures An INMC link is made up of objects called session types and units: Session types are the communication access methods used by the INMC link. Units are the logical paths between remote peer systems. Each unit is a subdivision of a session type and has a device associated with it. For an X.25, SNAX/XF, or SNAX/CDF session type, the unit is a line. For a PTP (process-toprocess) session, the unit is a file name.
9 Using Edit Services What Is in This Section The NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) Edit Services facility allows you to: Access the Tandem full-screen editor PS Text Edit (TEDIT) from within NonStop NET/MASTER MS. TEDIT has a comprehensive set of editing commands to work with text files. Check Network Control Language (NCL) source files for syntax errors prior to execution.

10 Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures What Is in This Section The NonStop NET/MASTER Network Control Language (NCL) is a structured, high-level language that is ideally suited to writing procedures that perform system and network operations tasks. The discussion in this section assumes that you have minimal programming experience. Its focus is on creating simple NCL procedures to execute a series of NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) commands.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Executing NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands From an NCL Procedure As an example, if you execute an NCL procedure from an OCS window, the OCS window is considered to be the owner of the current processing environment. Thus, responses from any NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands issued with a CMD statement: for example, CMD "SHOW USERS" are displayed in the OCS message display area.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Using System Variables Restrictions When including a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command in an NCL procedure, you must enclose the command in quotes if it contains characters that NCL regards as operator characters or special characters such as the equal sign (=) and parentheses. To save you from worrying about the distinction, it is best to always enclose NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands in quotes when issuing them from within an NCL procedure.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Sample NCL Procedure The current OCS window identifier (&SYS.OCS.ID) and the background OCS window identifier (&SYS.OCS.IDO) The following example sets the OCS window identifier of the first OCS window you enter to “ONE” and the OCS window identifier of the second OCS window you enter to “TWO.” Including similar statements as part of the NCL procedure that is executed as soon as you enter OCS sets the window identifiers for you. IF &SYS.OCS.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Sample NCL Procedure Suppose you create an NCL procedure with a file name of SETUP in Edit Services that contains the following: setup: PROCEDURE CMD "PROFILE CMDKEEP=NO" CMD "EQUATE MSGOFF PROFILE EMS=NO MONMSG=NO NCLTEST=YES" CMD "EQUATE MSGON PROFILE EMS=WARN MONMSG=YES" CMD "EQUATE NY ROUTE NM1EAS+" CMD "EQUATE LA ROUTE NM2WES+" CMD "EQUATE SM MSG ALL+" CMD "FK SF13 SUFF,+FROM JENN" CMD "FK SF14 IMM,K;;SHOW USERS" CMD "FK SF15 IMM,SHOW LINKS" IF &SYS.OCS.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Performing a Test Compilation on an NCL Procedure The equates and function key definitions set by this procedure allow you to: Type “SM” followed by a message in the OCS command line. For example: SM SHUTDOWN in 10 minutes. Please log off. Then press the SF13 function key to append your name to the end of the message and send it to all operators with PROFILE MSG=YES and/or PROFILE UNSOL=YES.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Executing NCL Procedures Compiling an NCL When you execute an NCL procedure, NCL automatically compiles it if it has not been Procedure previously compiled. The compilation process creates object code from the source file. NCL stores the object code of every compiled source file belonging to you in the one object file.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Executing Persistent NCL Processes Executing Persistent You can use the START verb to execute a persistent NCL process: an NCL process NCL Processes that is automatically restarted by NonStop NET/MASTER MS after failure. A persistent NCL process can only execute in the background processing environment associated with a virtual user (see “Executing NCL Procedures in the Background,” later in this section, for more information).
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures The Default NCL Procedure Search Path The Default NCL By default, when an NCL procedure is invoked, NonStop NET/MASTER MS searches Procedure Search Path for it using a path called the default NCL procedure search path.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures The NCL Process Identifier The NCL Process NonStop NET/MASTER MS automatically assigns every NCL procedure a unique Identifier NCL process identifier (NCL ID) when the procedure begins execution. The NCL ID is used to uniquely identify an NCL process, usually when the NCL process is to be the target of a NonStop NET/MASTER MS command. NCL procedures executed using the START command are immediately allocated an NCL ID.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures Executing NCL Procedures in the Background Using Timer Your NonStop NET/MASTER MS system has two timer commands: Commands to Execute The AT command executes other NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands at a NCL Procedures certain time. The EVERY command executes other NonStop NET/MASTER MS commands at a certain interval. You can use the AT and EVERY commands with the START and EXEC commands to control the time and frequency at which NCL procedures are executed.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures The Concept of Processing Environments The Concept of A processing environment is the environment in which NonStop NET/MASTER MS Processing commands and NCL procedures execute.
Automating Operations Tasks With NCL Procedures The Concept of Processing Environments The Current Processing Environment The current processing environment is the environment from which a command or NCL procedure is initiated. Commands issued with the CMD statement are executed in the current processing environment, and results are returned to the owner of the processing environment, not to the initiating NCL process.

Glossary term. The basic unit of an expression in NCL. There are five types of terms: symbols, quoted strings, variables, parenthesized expressions, and function references. terminal control process (TCP). The Guardian process that interprets SCREEN COBOL object code, handles input-output to operator terminals, and sends messages to server processes. terminal definition record. The record created when defining a terminal to NonStop NET/MASTER MS. test mode.
Glossary trace parameter. A value in the trace parameter list specifying the events to trace. trace parameter list (TPL). A list associated with an OCS window that holds the current trace parameter settings. trace point. A NonStop NET/MASTER MS code position that can be traced. trace record. An entry in a trace file: a message mapped by the map $MSG, text data, or binary data. Transaction Application Language (TAL).
Glossary unmapped UDB. A user database in which NCL treats the data in each record as a sequence of contiguous bytes. NCL does not interpret the data in an unmapped user database: an unmapped user database can contain any binary data. unprotected field. A panel field that can accept input. unquoted string. Within an NCL statement, a sequence of characters that do not begin and end with quotes, do not result in a number, and do not have a predefined meaning when used in a particular context.
Glossary user NCL procedure. An NCL procedure created by a user. user panel library. A panel library containing the panel description files belonging to a particular user or group of users. user procedure library. A procedure library containing the NCL procedures belonging to a particular user or group of users. user variable. A variable created by an NCL procedure. Parameters are user variables. user-defined error handler. An error handler defined by a user. user-defined map.
Glossary verb. Sometimes called a “verb statement,” an NCL statement that is not an intrinsic part of NCL. Its availability depends on the enabling of a NonStop NET/MASTER MS feature. Verbs do not affect the structure and flow of NCL process execution. virtual user. A NonStop NET/MASTER MS user that does not have a terminal associated with it. A virtual user acts the same way as a real user and has the same attributes as a real user operating in OCS. wake-up timer.
