Parameters

STATUS

Displays information about the Network Services. Can be used to check if the Network Services were successfully initiated, or to check on the current status using the following parameters:

USERS

Displays the sessions on the node that are associated with the Network Services.

SERVICES

Displays information about the services.

SERVERS

Displays information about the servers.

SUMMARY

Displays a summary of the information about services, servers, and users.

ALL

Displays all available information about services, servers, and users.

You can qualify the STATUS function with one parameter or with a list of parameters separated by commas.

Default: ALL

Discussion

This function displays information on those local sessions that were created by a DSLINE and REMOTE HELLO and on those remote sessions that were created by a REMOTE HELLO. The STATUS display does not list information on either local sessions that are using DSCOPY without a REMOTE HELLO or temporary remote sessions created by NFT, RFA, or RPM.

The following examples show the information provided by the STATUS function of the NSCONTROL command.

Example 1

The following example shows the status of the Network Services. Local means the service gives local users access to remote resources; remote means the service gives remote users access to local resources. Server indicates the type of server, NFT or DSSERVER, used for the service. For this example, all the services were started as indicated by YES in the STARTED column of the display. A NO in that column would indicate that the service was not started. You can use the STATUS display to verify whether each individual service is started or not, and whether it is available for local or remote use. This is helpful when using the optional services list of the NSCONTROL START and STOP functions.

Example 2

Example 2 shows the status of the servers. Here the minimum number of NFT servers is 0 and the maximum is 300 (the defaults). There are no NFT servers created. The minimum number of VTSERVERS is 6 and the maximum is 300. One, with process ID number (PIN) 50, is active, being used for the VT service with session #S1. The other five are not being used but are in reserve.

Example 3

In example 3, assume that a user has entered the following commands on NODE1:

:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
:DSLINE NODE2
:REMOTE HELLO MGR.TELESUP

The result on NODE1 is:

:NSCONTROL STATUS=USERS

JOBNUM SESSION TYPE USER.ACCOUNT
ID SERVICES NODENAME

#S1 #060507 LOCAL MANAGER.SYS
#031237 VT NODE2.DOMAIN.ORGANIZATION

TOTAL NUMBER OF LOCAL NS USERS: 1
TOTAL NUMBER OF REMOTE NS USERS: 0
TOTAL NUMBER OF NS USERS: 1

and on NODE2:

:NSCONTROL STATUS=USERS

JOBNUM SESSION TYPE USER.ACCOUNT
ID SERVICES NODENAME

#S3 #031237 REMOTE MGR.TELESUP
#060507 ORIGIN NODE1.DOMAIN.ORGANIZATION

TOTAL NUMBER OF LOCAL NS USERS: 0
TOTAL NUMBER OF REMOTE NS USERS: 1
TOTAL NUMBER OF NS USERS: 1

The display on NODE2 shows the remote session for MGR.TELESUP from the REMOTE HELLO on NODE1. As illustrated in example 3, the session IDs can be used to match up the local and remote sessions. The local session on NODE1, with ID #060500, is the origin of the remote session on NODE2, with ID #031237.

Example 4

In the following example, the Network Services have not been started (no NSCONTROL START has not been issued). The system response to the NSCONTROL STATUS=USERS,SERVICES command shows that there are no Network Services users and no Network Services currently active.

:NSCONTROL STATUS=USERS,SERVICES

NO CURRENT NETWORK SERVICE USERS

NO NETWORK SERVICES ARE CURRENTLY ACTIVE

Example 5

Example 5 shows the brief summary of users, services, and servers information. This is an abbreviated display of STATUS=ALL.

:NSCONTROL STATUS=SUMMARY

TOTAL NUMBER OF REMOTE NS USERS: 0
