Creating a New File To create a new file, do one of the following:
Invoke Edit Services, enter the name of the file to be created in the File Spec field,
and press the ENTER key.
From the OCS or the Command Entry facility, include the name of the file to edit
when you invoke Edit Services. For example:
EDIT nclproc1
Note If you include a file name when you invoke Edit Services from the OCS or the Command Entry facility, you
return directly to your OCS or Command Entry facility window when you exit from the edit file, and you do
not see the Edit Services Selection List.
In either case, if you just enter a file name, the file is located in your default volume
and subvolume. If you wish the file to be located in a different volume or subvolume,
specify a complete path, as shown here:
[ [ $ volume . ] subvolume . ] filename
When you exit from your new edit file and return to the selection list, the selection list
is refreshed and displays information about the new file.
Ownership and
Security Attributes of
New Files
Each edit file you create in Edit Services has an owner, as described next and
illustrated in Figure 9-2. The edit file owner is one of the following:
If the PARAM SWGUID setting for your NonStop NET/MASTER MS system is set
to YES, the file is owned by the current Guardian user ID.
If the PARAM SWGUID setting for your NonStop NET/MASTER MS system is set
to NO, the file is owned by the person who started NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
Each edit file you create in Edit Services has a read, write, execute, and purge (RWEP)
security assigned to it.
The RWEP security is the default security setting associated with the Guardian user ID
of the user who started NonStop NET/MASTER MS. (This setting is used regardless
of the RWEP security settings that may be associated in the TACL environment with
the Guardian user ID who owns the file.)
Note If the PARAM SWGUID setting for your NonStop NET/MASTER MS system is YES, then when you enter
Edit Services by invoking EDIT from the OCS command input line, you are operating under whatever
Guardian user ID you have currently assigned to yourself with PROFILE GUID. Any files you create are
owned by your current Guardian user ID, and you can only access a file that is not owned by your current
Guardian user ID according to the RWEP settings of the file.
