Command Overview
•
Sequence B:
>RDFCOM DENVER3
]STATUS RDF
Remember that, when you enter the RDFCOM command without specifying a control
subvolume, RDFCOM assumes that the control subvolume name is the same as that of
the local system on which the RDFCOM is running (without the backslash and with no
suffix character). Thus, the OPEN and STATUS commands shown in Sequence A and
Sequence B will only work if a configuration file exists on the control subvolume
DENVER3.
You must use the OPEN command if the system you are entering commands on services
more than one RDF configuration, or is a backup system in your RDF configuration, and
you did not specify a control subvolume in the RDFCOM command that started the
present session.
Examples
The following command, issued from a common backup system for the primary systems
\TORONTO and \DALLAS, identifies TORONTO as the RDF control subvolume for
subsequent RDFCOM commands:
]OPEN TORONTO
Having issued the above command, the next command obtains RDF status information
for \TORONTO:
]STATUS RDF
The following command identifies DALLAS as the RDF control subvolume:
]OPEN DALLAS
Having issued the above command, the next command requests RDF configuration
information for \DALLAS:
]INFO *
In the two OPEN commands above, note that you do not include a backslash (\) because
you are specifying the RDF control subvolume name (not a system name).
