Securing RMS Files Ensure that the installed RMS files are secured as follows:
Files with names of the forms ZRMSxN and ZRMSxP are secured so that users can
only read the files.
Other ZRMSx files are secured so that users (except the NonStop NET/MASTER
MS system user) can only read the files. The NonStop NET/MASTER MS system
user (that is, the user that starts NonStop NET/MASTER MS) should be able to
both read and write to the files.
Refer to the Guardian User’s Guide for information on how to get information about
files and how to set file security.
Making RMS
Operational
You can make RMS operational during or after NonStop NET/MASTER MS startup.
This subsection discusses both methods.
Making RMS Operational
During NonStop
NET/MASTER MS Startup
You can make RMS operational in two ways during NonStop NET/MASTER MS
startup
Initialize RMS without starting a message handler.
Initialize RMS and activate the EMSPROC message handler with the BASERULE
ruleset.
Initializing RMS Without Starting a Message Handler
To initialize RMS without starting a message handler, follow these steps:
1. Leave the distributed INIT NCL procedure provided by Tandem in the
distribution procedure library. Do not rename or edit this NCL procedure.
2. Create a customized INIT NCL procedure in the customized procedure library.
Choose a name other than INIT for this NCL procedure: for example, CUSTINIT.
3. Add the PARAM INIT command to the CONFIG file with the name of the
customized INIT NCL procedure. For example, if you want to use a file named
CUSTINIT, include this command in the CONFIG file:
PARAM INIT=CUSTINIT
Refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Command Reference Manual for more
information about the PARAM command.
4. Edit the customized INIT NCL procedure, CUSTINIT. Make the following two
CALL statements the first two statements in the NCL procedure:
CALL INIT
CALL ZRMSININ
5. Start NonStop NET/MASTER MS using the CONFIG file that defines the name of
the customized INIT NCL procedure. See “Verifying That RMS Is Successfully
Initialized,” later in this section, for information on how to verify that RMS is
successfully initialized.
