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).
