Define permanent connections to NonStop NET/MASTER MS on other systems
(using Inter-NET/MASTER Connection (INMC)):
CMD "LINK DEFINE=SYS2 MSGID=SYS2 HLITE=REVERSE",
“COLOR=BLUE COMMENT=\SYS2"
CMD "SESSION DEFINE=SYS2S LINK=SYS2 TYPE=X25",
"APPLID=APPL01 COMMENT=\SYS2"
CMD "UNIT DEFINE=SYS2U1 SESSION=SYS2S MODE=PERMANENT",
"IOSIZE=128 CONNECTDELAY=60",
"DEVICE=\LOC1.$X2501.#PVC01",
"COMMENT=\SYS2"
CMD "UNIT DEFINE=SYS2U2 SESSION=SYS2S MODE=ACTIVE",
"IOSIZE=256 CONNECTDELAY=120 DTEADDR=01234567891201",
"DEVICE=\LOC1.$X2502.#SVC01",
"COMMENT=\SYS2"
See Section 9, “Supporting Remote Operations,” for more information.
Specify the location of the TEDIT program file, used by Edit Services (if different
from default):
CMD "SYSPARMS TEDITOBJ=$DATA.SUBVOL.MYTEDIT"
Initialize Rule Management Services (RMS) and activate an EMSPROC message
handler with the BASERULE ruleset activated. To perform this task, you must
create a customized INIT NCL procedure that calls and passes an initialization
option to the distributed INIT NCL procedure:
CALL INIT(,RMSBASE)
Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER RMS Management and Operations Guide for
more information.
Some commands work slightly differently when issued by the INIT procedure. For
example, if the INIT procedure invokes the EQUATE command, the effects are system-
wide. See “Designing an INIT NCL Procedure,” earlier in this section, for more
information.
Performance
Considerations
Increasing the tasks performed by the INIT NCL procedure increases the startup time
of NonStop NET/MASTER MS. You can minimize the INIT NCL procedure’s
execution time by observing these two principles:
Minimize the use of the NCL CALL core statement and the START verb, which
start external NCL procedures.
Avoid using the INIT NCL procedure to perform any tasks other than those that
must be performed before users can log on to NonStop NET/MASTER MS. For
example, use the INIT NCL procedure to:
Issue commands that only the INIT procedure can issue
Issue commands that define global features, such as function keys and
command string abbreviations (equates)
Issue any commands that must complete execution before users can log on
