2-1. INITIATING AN INTERACTIVE SESSION
To initiate an interactive session
1. Turn the terminal on.
2. Dial the HP 3000 computer system (if the terminal is connected
over switched telephone lines).
3. Press the RETURN key (or equivalent) to produce a prompt character
(:).
4. Enter the MPE/3000 :HELLO command.
The :HELLO command has the form
:HELLO [sessionname,]username[/userpass].acctname[/acctpass]
[,groupname[/grouppass] ]
[;TERM=termtype]
[;TIME=cpusecs]
BS
[ {CS} ]
[;PRI={DS},]
[ {ES} ]
;INPRI=inputpriority
[ ]
;HIPRI
NOTE Throughout this manual, optional parameters are shown enclosed in
brackets [ ]. Required parameters are shown enclosed in braces {
}.
where
sessionname is an arbitrary name used in conjunction with username
parameters to form a session identity. The para- meter
contains from 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters, beginning
with a letter. Default: no session name is assigned.
username is the user's name, established by the Account Manager,
which allows you to log on under this account. The
parameter contains from 1 to 8 alphanumeric characters,
beginning with a letter. (REQUIRED PARA- METER)
userpass is the user's password, optionally assigned by the
Account Manager. It contains from 1 to 8 alphanumeric
characters, beginning with a letter.
acctname is the name of the account, as established by the
Account Manager. It contains from 1 to 8 alphanumeric
characters, beginning with a letter. The acctname
parameter must be preceded by a period. (REQUIRED
PARAMETER)
acctpass is the account password, optionally assigned by the
System Manager. It contains from 1 to 8 alphanumeric
characters, beginning with a letter.
groupname is the name of the group to be used for the local file
domain and CPU time charges. The parameter groupname is
established by the Account Manager and contains from 1
to 8 alphanumeric characters, beginning with a letter.
Default: the home group if one is assigned by the
Account Manager. (Optional if the user has a home group
required if a home group is not assigned.)
grouppass is the group password, optionally assigned by the
Account Manager. It contains from 1 to 8 alphanumeric
characters, beginning with a letter. (Required if
assigned and the user is logging on under other than the
home group, not required if the user is logging on under
the home group.)
termtype is the type of terminal used for input. MPE uses this
parameter to determine device-dependent character-
istics such as delay factors for carriage returns. This
parameter must be a number from 0 to 16; the number
meanings are shown below:
* 0 = HP 2749B ASR 33 EIA-compatible Terminal (10 characters per second
(cps)).
* 1 = ASR 37 Teleprinter Terminal with Paper Tape Reader/Punch (10
cps).
* 2 = ASR 35 EIA-compatible Terminal (10 cps).
* 3 = Execuport 300 Data Communications Transceiver Terminal (10, 15,
30 cps).
* 4 = HP 2600A or DATAPOINT 3300 Keyboard Display Terminal (10-240
cps).
* 5 = Memorex 1240 Communication Terminal (10,15, 30, 60 cps). Note:
must have even parity-checking option.
* 6 = HP 2762A/B (GE Terminet 300 or 1200) or Data Communications
Terminal Model B (10,15, 30,120 cps) with Paper Tape Reader/Punch,
Option 2. Note: This terminal must be equipped for ECHO PLEX.
* 9 = HP 2615A Terminal (Beehive MiniBee) (10-240 cps).
* 10 = HP 264OA/B, HP 2641A, HP 2644A or HP 2645A Interactive Display
Terminal (character mode or full program control of block mode
transmission) (10-240 cps).
* 11 = HP 264OA/B, HP 2641A, HP 2644A or HP 2645A Interactive Display
Terminal (block mode without program control) (10-240 cps).
* 12 = HP 2645K Katakana/Roman Data Terminal.
* 13 = Message switching network or other computer.
* 14 = Multipoint Terminal.
* 15 = HP 2635A Printing Terminal. 8-bit protocol (for second
character set).
* 16 = HP 2635A Printing Terminal. 7-bit protocol (standard character
set).
If the termtype parameter is omitted, a default is assigned according to
the termtype configured for that input-output port. Default: For
hardwired terminals, the default is determined by the System Supervisor
during system configuration. There is no default for terminals that are
not hardwired, (Required parameter to insure correct listings if the
terminal is not hardwired or if the terminal is not the default
termtype.)
cpusecs is the maximum CPU time that a session can use, entered
in seconds; it must be a value from 1 to 32767. When
the limit is reached, the session is aborted. To
specify no limit, enter a question mark (?) or omit the
parameter. Default: no limit.
BS,CS,DS,ES is the execution priority class. BS is the highest
priority, ES is the lowest. If a priority is specified
that exceeds the highest permitted by the system for the
account or user name, MPE assigns the highest pri- ority
possible below BS. Default: CS.
_______________________________________________________
NOTE DS and ES are used primarily for batch jobs; their
use for sessions is discouraged.
_______________________________________________________
inputpriority is the relative input priority used in checking against
access restrictions imposed by the jobfence, if one
exists; it takes effect at log-on time. This parameter
must be a value from 1 (lowest priority) to 13 (highest
priority). If a value is specified that is less than or
equal to the current jobfence set by the Console
Operator, the session is denied access. Default: 8.
HIPRI is the request for maximum session-selection input
priority, causing the session to be scheduled regardless
of current jobfence or execution limit for sessions.
This parameter can be specified only by users with
System Manager or System Supervisor Capability.
Default: the current jobfence and execution limit.
For a more detailed description of the :HELLO command, see the MPE
Commands Reference Manual.
An example of the :HELLO command, using only the (required) parameters
username.acctname, is as follows:
:HELLO MANAGER.SCR
HP3000 / MPE III B.01.02. TUE, JUN 3, 1980, 1:49 PM
(Displayed on the terminal by MPE/3000)
Note that the acctname parameter is preceded by a period. This is the
required form for this parameter (see the form example).
