Executing Remote Commands
NetCI automatically establishes a session on a node when a remote command
is executed. Simply specify after the NetCI> prompt the NetCI node or
list name followed by the NetCI or MPE command. NetCI will establish a
session on the NS3000 node associated with the NetCI node name, or on the
nodes belonging to the list. This eliminates your having to log on
remotely to each node when executing commands and running programs. For
example, when you enter
NetCI>PINOIT SHOWJOB
NetCI will automatically log you on to NS3000 node Y as operator.sys and
execute the SHOWJOB command. If you recall from our sample LAN, PINOIT
is associated with logon session operator.sys on NS node Y. This command
will display the status information for all jobs/sessions/scheduled jobs
on NS node Y.
Node Prompt
After a command is executed on the remote node, the NetCI> prompt
automatically changes to the node's name. For example, when you enter
NetCI>PINOIT SHOWJOB
the status information for all jobs/sessions/scheduled jobs on PINOIT is
displayed. The prompt then changes to
PINOIT>
which indicates the node against which you last executed commands or
programs.
You can also change the default prompt to any node prompt by entering the
NetCI node name after the current prompt. For example, when you enter
PINOIT>CHABLIS
the prompt changes to
CHABLIS>
which is now the default prompt.
By specifying a default prompt, you can execute several commands on a
node without specifying the node name each time you specify a command.
For example, when you enter
CHABLIS>SHOWJOB
CHABLIS>SHOWJOB JOB=@JOB
CHABLIS>SHOWJOB JOB=@S
it eliminates your having to specify the node each time.
List Prompt
You can also specify a list name against which a script file, command, or
program can be executed. After the prompt, enter the list name and
command. For example, when you enter
CHABLIS>LIST1 SHOWJOB
the SHOWJOB command sequentially executes on all nodes that are members
of LIST1 (which includes nodes H, I, and K). It also eliminates your
having to log on and execute the SHOWJOB command on each node.
You can also change the default prompt to any list prompt by entering the
list name after the current prompt. For example, when you enter
LIST1>ALLNODES
the prompt changes to
ALLNODES>
which is now the default prompt.
By specifying a default list prompt, you can execute several commands
against the list without specifying the list name each time you specify a
command. For example, when you enter
ALLNODES>SHOWJOB
ALLNODES>SHOWJOB JOB=@JOB
ALLNODES>SHOWJOB JOB=@S
it eliminates your having to specify the list name each time.
NetCI Prompt
You can return to the NetCI prompt by typing a colon ( : ) or NetCI
after a node or list prompt. For example, when you enter
ALLNODES> :
or
ALLNODES>NETCI
you will be returned to the NetCI> prompt.
