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.
You may specify that the message identifier not be prefixed to messages from a remote
system by including the PREFIX=NO operand with your SIGNON command. For
example:
SIGNON BOSTON PREFIX=NO
You may specify a one to eight-character message identifier of your choice by
including the ID=
msg-id
operand with your SIGNON command. For example:
SIGNON BOSTON ID=BOS
Finally, you may request that the message identifier not be enclosed in parentheses by
including a PAREN=NO operand with your SIGNON command. For example:
SIGNON BOSTON PAREN=NO
Overriding the Configured Background Color, Text Color, and Highlighting of Messages
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
with the background color, text color, and highlighting attributes assigned to that
particular link when the link was defined. In this way, you can easily determine from
which remote system messages come.
You can select a background color of your choice to override the default color attribute
associated with a particular link by including a BKGCOLOR=color-option operand with
your SIGNON command. For example:
SIGNON BOSTON BKGCOLOR=WHITE
You can select a text color of your choice to override the default text color attribute
associated with a particular link by including a COLOR=color-option operand with
your SIGNON command. For example:
SIGNON BOSTON COLOR=RED
You can select a highlighting option of your choice to override the default highlighting
attribute associated with a particular link by including a HLITE=hlite-option operand
with your SIGNON command. For example:
SIGNON BOSTON HLITE=BLINK
If the Link Fails
If a link fails while you are logged on to a remote system, you are automatically logged
on again when the link becomes active again, unless the link is reset.
Automatic reconnection is canceled when you exit from OCS.
