2.7.2 Aliases
Aliases are specified as follows:
Syntax:
ALIAS:"[\NODE.]<alias>"
The ALIAS:" " syntax tells XYGATE (and the HP NonStop server) that the string is
an alias. The quotation marks are necessary to prevent the string from being upshifted
or TACL trying to interpret any special characters. You may use wildcarding to specify
both nodes and alias names when appropriate.
ALIAS:"*" represents all local aliases.
ALIAS:"\*.*" represents all network aliases.
ALIAS:"\NODEA.*" represents all aliases on \NODEA.
Remember that aliases are case-sensitive. Also, remember that the HP NonStop will
always upshift node names, so they must always be uppercase within the quotation
marks.
You can wildcard aliases using trailing asterisks ( * ). For example, if your company’s
naming convention is that any alias to SUPER.SUPER begins with lowercase sup-,
you could wildcard the aliases by entering ALIAS:"\*.sup-*" in the syntax.
Unfortunately, you cannot use leading asterisks. You can however use standard
HP NonStop wildcard characters such as the question mark (?) representing any
character or the plus sign (+) representing any number.
Example 2: How to wildcard aliases
a) Alias:"bryan"
b) Alias:"\*.bryan"
c) Alias:"WIRE-*"
d) Alias:"\*.WIRE-*"
e) Alias:"WIRE-blh"
f) Alias:"\*.WIRE-blh"
g) Alias:"\N1*.WIRE-*"
h) Alias:"\DATA.WIRE-blh"
i) Alias:"\DATA.???-WIRE"
j) Alias:"\N1*.?++-WIRE"
