Running
Conversational
Guardian Utilities
The NonStop NET/MASTER MS OPSYS command is your interface, through DSNM,
to Guardian conversational utilities, and to TACL commands, macros, and routines
(all of which are referred to as “utilities” in the following discussion).
Note You cannot issue commands to block-mode applications by using the OPSYS command. You must run
block-mode applications and access them directly. To run block-mode applications, use the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS command PROGRUN. If you have access to the Console Extras facility and the
application is listed on your Console Extras utility list, you can also run the application from there. To run
NETSTATUS, use the NETSTAT command.
The DSNM Utility Access
Command Set
The DSNM utility access commands you can issue through OPSYS are listed in
