Function Keys

This screen is the main select screen from which all directory functions are accessed. The currently opened directory is displayed at the bottom of all network directory screens. The percentage of the network directory that is full is shown in the lower right corner of the screen.

Update Dir

Press this function key to go to the Network Directory Select Node Name screen to add, delete, or modify network directory node name entries and path reports.

Print Dir

Press this function key to print out a copy of the directory to formal designator FORMLIST, device class LP. You can use a file equation for FORMLIST to redirect the output to another device class or disk file. To set a file equation without leaving NMMGR, enter the appropriate MPE command in the command window and press the [Enter] key.

Maint Mode

Press this function key to enter the command interface to perform directory merging or to expand the size of your directory. See Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities for details on maintenance mode.

Within the maintenance mode interface, command input is read from the formal designator NMMGRCMD, which defaults to $STDINX. Type EXIT and press the [Enter] key to leave maintenance mode.
