Entire Net-Work Operator Commands

This section describes the Entire Net-Work operator commands. It covers the following topics:


Overview

Although Entire Net-Work operates automatically, there are operator commands available to display or modify the status of the network and control the local Entire Net-Work node.

The Entire Net-Work commands described in this section are similar to Adabas operator commands. A summary and description of the operator commands for z/OS, BS2000 are provided.

The Entire Net-WorkTCPX line driver has the ability to process operator commands that are directed to a specific link or directly to the driver. For more information about TCPX line driver operator commands, read TCPX Operator Commands.

Operator Commands Summary

The following table summarizes the Entire Net-Work operator commands:

Use Command Arguments To
ADAEND --- Terminate Entire Net-Work session.
CLOSE driver Disconnect all links of a driver, then close the driver.
CLOSE NETPRNT --- Close the NETPRNT file and route all trace and snap output to DDPRINT.
CONNECT link (Re-) connect a link after a disconnect or handshake error.
DEFINE link Dynamically define a new link.
DISABLE link Disable a link (link cannot accept connects).
DISCONNECT link Disconnect a link.
DISPLAY various Display links, nodes, targets, user buffer blocks, paths or statistics.
DUMP --- Snap data areas, then terminate the Entire Net-Work session.
ENABLE link Enable a link (the link can accept connects).
END --- Terminate Entire Net-Work session.
HALT --- Terminate Entire Net-Work session.
HELP --- List available operator commands.
LICREFRESH --- Refresh Entire Net-Work license.
LOGDON driver Activates logging for the Simple Connection Line Driver.
LOGDOFF driver Deactivates logging for the Simple Connection Line Driver.
LOGLON link Activates logging for a specific link name. A wildcard can be used to activated logging for link names with certain characters in their names.
LOGLOFF link Deactivates logging for a specific link name. A wildcard can be used to deactivate link logging.
LOGTON target Activates logging for a specific target ID.
LOGTOFF target Deactivates logging for a specific target.
NETEND --- Terminate Entire Net-Work session.
OPEN driver Reopen a driver after a close or access method failure. This command and the START command are currently synonymous.
OPEN NETPRNT --- Open the NETPRNT file and route all trace and snap output to the NETPRNT file.
PROBE nodename or node ID and bytes Send a probe message to a node.
RESUME link Resume sending messages via this link.
SET various Change the values of Entire Net-Work parameters. Note: The minimum abbreviation for SET is the null string (zero characters long).
SNAP --- Snap data areas to DDPRINT.
START driver Reopen a driver after a close or access method failure. This command and the OPEN command are currently synonymous.
STOP --- Terminate Entire Net-Work session.
SUSPEND link Stop sending messages on this link.
TERMINATE --- Terminate Entire Net-Work session.

Operator Command Descriptions

This section describes each of the operator commands in detail. The underlined portion of the command is the minimum abbreviation.

ADAEND, END, HALT, NETEND, STOP, and TERMINATE Commands

ADAEND 
END 
HALT 
NETEND 
STOP 
TERMINATE 

Any one of the above commands can be used to terminate an Entire Net-Work session normally. The STOP operator command (for example, STOP taskid or P taskid) can be used in z/OS environments.

A check is made for any additional parameters. If one is found, the command is rejected and message NET0115 is issued. Thus, erroneous commands are rejected and an accidental termination of Entire Net-Work is avoided.

Once the termination command has been accepted by Entire Net-Work, no more requests are selected from the request queue. Message NET0999 is displayed on the operator console confirming that normal termination procedures have been started.

Note:
The DUMP command also ends Entire Net-Work operation after performing a snap dump of pertinent data areas.

CLOSE Command

CLOSE driver

Terminate all activities of the driver by disconnecting and closing all links related to the driver, then closing the driver itself.

The effect of this command can be reversed by issuing the OPEN or START command for the driver, and CONNECT commands for the links (as appropriate).

CLOSE NETPRNT Command

CLOSE NETPRNT

Close the NETPRNT file and route all trace and snap output to the DDPRINT file. When the NETPRNT file is closed, the data set can be copied for sending to Software AG support, without shutting down Entire Net-Work. The file must be allocated SHR. This command cannot be abbreviated.

CONNECT Command

CONNECT linkname

Attempt to connect link linkname. The link name specified must match that used on the LINK statement. If the link was disconnected after a "handshaking" conflict, the CONNECT command can be used to retry the procedure. If the link is disabled, the CONNECT command can be used to enable it.

DEFINE Command

DEFINE   LINK   linkname={ link statement | LIKE linkname }

Define a link during Entire Net-Work operation. The link statement must adhere to the format described in the section about the related line driver.

Note:
DEFINE commands will only be accepted if the NODE statement DEFINE parameter is set to"Y" .

The LIKE linkname parameter can be used instead of the link statement to define a link by copying the parameters specified for a previously defined link. For example:

DEFINE LINK TOPSYS LIKE BOTSYS

Note:
DEFINE LINK, is permitted only if DEFINE=Y is specified on the NODE statement

DISABLE Command

DISABLE  linkname

Instructs the specified link not to accept any connections from other Entire Net-Work nodes. If the link is connected, it is disconnected and then disabled.

DISCONNECT Command

DISCONNECT linkname

Disconnect the specified link, which is connected to this node. The link name specified must be the same as that used on the LINK statement.

DISPLAY Command

DISPLAY  { ALINKS | CPU | CQ | CQE | CSCI | DETAIL | LINKS | LOGGING | NODES | PATHS | STATS | TARGETS | UBQ |  ZAPS | ZSTATS } 
                  [ {name | string* } ]

Displays current information about the specified network component. Only one component type (link, node, path, logging, statistics, target, or zaps) can be specified in a single DISPLAY command. The information is displayed in the form of Entire Net-Work messages. For more information, see the section Messages and Codes.

The optional second parameter serves to qualify the display request, thereby limiting the information displayed. At the same time, additional information is displayed for qualified DISPLAY LINKS and ALINKS, or DISPLAY NODES requests.

The possible qualifier values and their meanings depend on the type of request. A link name, node name, or (numeric) target ID may be specified. Alternatively, a string ending in a "wild card" character (*) may be used to indicate all links or nodes whose names start with the specified string. The asterisk (* ) alone may be used to produce a display of all links or nodes, but additional information is shown only for qualified display requests.

DISPLAY CPU Example

The DISPLAY CPU command displays the Central Processor Unit (CPU) time, the time that the Network has been active and the time the Network has been in wait mode within the active time. The units are Store Clock hours:minutes: seconds.microseconds. Here is an example of DISPLAY CPU output:

F NETWK,D CPU
NET0166I:  Duration           0:00:07.755607
NET0167I:  Wait-Time          0:00:05.000790
NET0168I:  CPU Time           0:00:00.485279

DISPLAY CQ Example

The DISPLAY CQ command displays all posted command queue elements (CQEs). It displays information about each CQE, including command code, database and file number, buffer length, sequence number, age, job name, user ID, and status. Here is an example of DISPLAY CQ output:

F NETWK,D CQ
NET0175I: Current CQ 
NET0175I: Cmd=L1,Db=68,File=13,Len=100532,Seq-Nr=420 
NET0175I: Time=0 sec ago,Job='USAKCTXG',TID=C1F0F0F200000000,Active 
NET0175I: -- 1 CQEs displayed

DISPLAY CQE Example

The DISPLAY CQE command displays detailed information about a specific command queue element (CQE). It takes the command sequence number as input, which can be determined from the output of a DISPLAY CQ command. The command sequence number should be preceded by a blank, comma, or an equal sign (=).

Here is an example of DISPLAY CQE output. First this user enters D CQ to list all of the CQEs and gets this output:

NETI29 Oper cmd: D CQ 
NET0175I KC1NET2A: Current CQ 
NET0175I KC1NET2A: Cmd=L1,Db=68,File=13,Len=100532,Seq-Nr=567 
NET0175I KC1NET2A: Time=6 sec agoJob='USAKCTXG',TID=C1F0F0F100000000,Active 
NET0175I KC1NET2A: -- 1 CQEs displayed 

Then the user decides to obtain details about the CQE with command sequence number 567 by specifying D CQE=567 and receives this output:

NETI29 Oper cmd: D CQE=567 
NET0177I KC1NET2A: CQE Seq-Nr=567,Status=Active 
NET0177I KC1NET2A: Addr=150BF800,Cmd=L1,Db=68,File=13,Len=100532 
NET0177I KC1NET2A: Bin/out=x1008,Flags=x1B80,AB=1029F000,UB=1034251C 
NET0177I KC1NET2A: Job='USAKCTXG',TID=C1F0F0F100000000 
NET0177I KC1NET2A: Uid=0009A10E28180000404040404040404000F9FB80C1F0F0F100000000 
NET0177I KC1NET2A: Time=CC1DC707 0E15E18A; 15 sec ago 

For the specified command sequence number, DISPLAY CQE displays the sequence number, status, address of the CQE, command code, database and file numbers, length of attached buffers, buffer in/out flags, CQE flags, address of the attached buffers, address of the user buffer (UB), job name, terminal identifier (TID), user ID, the time in STCK format, and the age in seconds.

Note:
D CQE 567 and D CQE,567 would have produced the same result.

DISPLAY CSCI Example

The following is an example of DISPLAY CSCI output:

F NETWK,D CSCI
NETQ002I:  Csi Server  -ESG111- Act Targ(00039) Srv(00013)
NETQ002I:  Csi Server  ESQSRV   Act Targ(00039) Srv(00012) 
NETQ002I:  Csi Server  TESTNAT  Act Targ(01001) Srv(00011)
NETQ002I:  Csi Server  KSPS2    Act Targ(01001) Srv(00010)
NETQ002I:  Csi Server  KSPS1    Act Targ(01001) Srv(00009)
NETQ002I:  Csi Server  -DAEKCO- Act Targ(01014) Srv(00008)
NETQ002I:  Csi Server  KCOSRV4  Act Targ(01014) Srv(00007)
NETQ004I:  Registered Servers Display Function Complete

DISPLAY DETAIL Examples

The DISPLAY DETAIL command shows details about local targets in ascending order, using the format shown in these examples. It allows you to display details about the node , its location, name and local targets. The local target information contains the target ID, target type, job name and the job number/ID that started it as well as product details.

The following example displays all target details:

F NETWK,D DE [ALL or *]
    
 NET0190I: Node=NET9990,Nodeid=9990,Host=DAEF  
 NET0190I:  00011: REV V4.7.1, Isolated,Jobname=REV471,Jobid=14711
 NET0190I:  00063: ADA V8.2.6, Isolated,Jobname=DB0063,Jobid=14812    
 NET0190I:  00081(1): ASM V8.2.6, Database,Jobname=CLNUC01,Jobid=14921    
 NET0190I:  00081(10): ASM V8.2.6, Database,Jobname=CLNUC10,Jobid=14922    
 NET0190I:  09990: WCP V6.3.2, Communicator,Jobname=NET9990,Jobid=14999

In this example, the network has the node name "NET9990" with the target number 9990 on the host/LPAR "DAEF". Target 11 is an Adabas Review hub, started with a job name "REV471" where the system runs it with job ID 14711 (J14711). Target 81 is a cluster with two nuclei DBIDs, (1) and (10).

The target types listed in the message can be any of the target types described in message NET0190I.

The following example displays specific target details:

F NETWK,D DE 11,63
NET0190I: Node=NET9990,Nodeid=9990,Host=DAEF  
NET0190I:  00011: REV V4.7.1, Isolated,Jobname=REV471,Jobid=14711
NET0190I:  00063: ADA V8.2.6, Isolated,Jobname=DB0063,Jobid=14812    

The following example displays a range of target details:

F NETWK,D DE 20-100
NET0190I: Node=NET9990,Nodeid=9990,Host=DAEF  
NET0190I:  00063: ADA V8.2.6, Isolated,Jobname=DB0063,Jobid=14812    
NET0190I:  00081(1): ASM V8.2.6, Database,Jobname=CLNUC01,Jobid=14921    
NET0190I:  00081(10): ASM V8.2.6, Database,Jobname=CLNUC10,Jobid=14922    
NET0190I:  09990: WCP V6.3.2, Communicator,Jobname=NET9990,Jobid=14999                

The following example shows errors that occur when no targets are in the requested range:

F NETWK,D DE 20-50
NET0190I: Node=NET9990,Nodeid=9990,Host=DAEF     
NET0191I:  No target found     

DISPLAY NODES Examples

The following is an example of DISPLAY NODES output:

F NETWK,D N
NET0122I: NODE FNODE     (50752) LOCAL
NET0122I: NODE ALSNODE   (54080) DIST 000040 VIA LINK LNKE
NET0122I: NODE ANODE     (49472) DIST 000020 VIA LINK LNKA
NET0122I: NODE ENODE     (50496) DIST 000020 VIA LINK LNKE

A qualifier is used in the following example:

F NETWK,D N A*
NET0122I: NODE ALSNODE   (54080) DIST 000040 VIA LINK LNKE
NET0123I: TARGETS: 00025 00171 00194 00175 00173 00018 00009
NET0123I: TARGETS: 00177
NET0122I: NODE ANODE     (49472) DIST 000020 VIA LINK LNKA
NET0123I: TARGETS: 00125 00192

DISPLAY PATHS Example

The following is an example of DISPLAY PATHS output:

F NETWK,D P
NET0122I: NODE ALSNODE  (54080) DIST 000080 (001) VIA LINK LNKA
NET0122I: NODE ALSNODE  (54080) DIST 000040 (002) VIA LINK LNKE
NET0122I: NODE ANODE    (49472) DIST 000020 (001) VIA LINK LNKA
NET0122I: NODE ANODE    (49472) DIST 000040 (002) VIA LINK LNKE
NET0122I: NODE ENODE    (50496) DIST 000040 (002) VIA LINK LNKA
NET0122I: NODE ENODE    (50496) DIST 000020 (001) VIA LINK LNKE

DISPLAY STATS Examples

The DISPLAY STATS command produces the same type of information found in the statistics displayed at the end of an Entire Net-Work session. A qualifier parameter, if given, would have no effect. The buffer usage statistics displayed depend on the operating system being used. The CPU/Active Time/Wait Time is also displayed .

The following is an example of DISPLAY STATS output. It includes a NETB001I and a NETB009I for each active buffer pool, a set of NETB008I, NETB010I, and NETB012I for each subpool within the buffer pools, and a NETB013I for each operator command issued. The NET0166I, NET0167I, and NET0168I messages are for CPU and Active/Wait times.

DISPLAY TARGETS Example

The DISPLAY TARGETS command lists the targets in ascending order. The following is an example of DISPLAY TARGETS output:

F NETWK,D T
NET0124I: TARGET 00009 (I-T) ACTIVE ON NODE ALSNODE
NET0124I: TARGET 00234 (I-N) ACTIVE ON NODE ANODE
NET0124I: TARGET 00237 (I-N) ACTIVE ON NODE ANODE
NET0124I: TARGET 00238 (I-N) ACTIVE ON NODE ANODE
NET0124I: TARGET 02048 (L-N) ACTIVE ON NODE ANODE
NET0124I: TARGET 09777 (C-N) ACTIVE ON NODE ALSNODE
NET0124I: TARGET 09888 (C-N) ACTIVE ON NODE ANODE
NET0124I: TARGET 55769 (C-N) ACTIVE ON NODE ANODE

Substitutions for the values in parentheses (x-y) following the target ID in each message have specific meaning. Substitutions for the first value (x) are described in message NET0124I.

Substitutions for the second value (y) can be:

  • "T" (for types I, L, and V above, which use Adabas 7 translation); or

  • "N" (normal).

DISPLAY UBQ Example

The DISPLAY UBQ command displays all the user buffer (UB) blocks associated with messages in process via ADALNK, the Adabas SVC, or the router to a target. The following are displayed for each user block: the command code, database and file number, the checksum (in hexadecimal), the user buffer flags and address in hexadecimal, the job name that sent it, the number of seconds elapsed since sending, and the 28-byte user ID in hexadecimal.

The following is an example of DISPLAY UBQ output:

F NETWK,D UBQ
NETI29       OPER CMD: D UBQ                                            
NET0178I: UBQ Cmd=L1,Db=63,Fnr=3,Checksum=CC24F6274BCD0600

           -- 1 UBs displayed

DISPLAY ZAPS Example

The DISPLAY ZAPS command lists, for each Entire Net-Work module, its name, assembly date, system maintenance level, and zap level. If zaps were applied after initial shipment, their numbers are listed as "Additional Zaps". The following is an excerpt from a DISPLAY ZAPS example:

F NETWK,D Z
NET0037I:  NWTCPOES Date 2011-09-22, Version: 06.03, SP 01, Base WU631000 
         Zaps WU631010

DISPLAY ZSTATS Example

The DISPLAY ZSTATS command can be used in a session that was started with ADARUN parameter ZIIP=YES to display statistics about the execution of Entire Net-Work in TCB mode and SRB mode and about the CPU time consumed on System z Integrated Information Processors (zIIP) and general processors (GP).

The statistics displayed by DISPLAY ZSTATS correspond and are equivalent to the zIIP-related statistics displayed by the DISPLAY STATS command, and at end of session.

See Understanding the zIIP-Related Statistics in the Entire Net-Work for zIIP documentation for detailed information about the various statistical figures.

DUMP Command

DUMP

Issue a snap dump, then end the Entire Net-Work session. DUMP is equivalent to the SNAP command followed by an ADAEND (or synonymous) command.

ENABLE Command

ENABLE  linkname

Revokes a previously entered DISABLE command. The specified link is instructed to accept incoming connect requests. Enabling a disconnected link does not connect the link.

HELP Command

HELP

Lists the available Entire Net-Work operator commands with a short explanation of their function.

LICREFRESH Command

LICREFRESH

Use the LICREFRESH command to:

  • reload the license module or reread the license file from the library identified by the DDLIC JCL statement in the Entire Net-Work startup job

  • display and check the license identified by the DDLIC JCL statement in the Entire Net-Work startup job

LOGDON Command

LOGDON TCPX

Activates logging for the Simple Connection Line Driver.

LOGDOFF Command

LOGDOFF TCPX

Deactivates logging for the Simple Connection Line Driver.

LOGLON Command

LOGLON {linkname[,linkname]... | (linkname[,linkname]...)  | ALL }

Activates logging for currently defined links that match the linknames specified in the command. The link names can be specified in parentheses or out of parentheses. At least one link name or "ALL" must be specified. If you specify "ALL", logging is activated for all links. You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard at the end of a link name ("linkname*") to specify a pattern of link names; logging will be activated for all currently defined links that match the pattern.

In the following example, logging is activated for links named XYZ and for links beginning with the characters "ABCD".

LOGLON XYZ, ACBD*

LOGLOFF Command

LOGLOFF {linkname[,linkname]... | (linkname[,linkname]...) | ALL }

Deactivates logging for currently defined links that match the linknames specified in the command. The link names can be specified in parentheses or out of parentheses. At least one link name or ALL must be specified. If you specify ALL, logging is deactivated for all links. You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard at the end of a link name ("linkname*") to specify a pattern of link names; logging will be deactivated for all currently defined links that match the pattern.

In the following example, logging is deactivated for links named XYZ and for links beginning with the characters "ABCD".

LOGLOFF (XYZ, ACBD*)

LOGTON Command

LOGTON {target-ID[,target-ID]... | (target-ID[,target-ID]...) }

Activates logging for the targets specified in the command. The target IDs can be specified in parentheses or out of parentheses. At least one target ID must be specified. Valid target ID values range from "1" through "65535".

In the following example, logging is activated for targets 12 and 181.

LOGTON 12, 181

LOGTOFF Command

LOGTOFF {target-ID[,target-ID]... | (target-ID[,target-ID]...) | ALL }

Deactivates logging for the targets specified in the command. The target IDs can be specified in parentheses or out of parentheses. At least one target ID or ALL must be specified. If you specify ALL, logging is deactivated for all targets. Valid target ID values range from "1" through "65535".

In the following example, logging is deactivated for targets 12 and 181.

LOGTOFF (12, 181)

OPEN Command

OPEN  driver

Reopen an installed/defined line driver that was stopped due to an access method or other network or system failure, or by the CLOSE operator command. The driver name must be the same as that specified on a DRIVER statement. Note that this command is currently a synonym for the START command. For further information, see the explanation of the START command.

OPEN NETPRNT Command

OPEN NETPRNT

Open the NETPRNT file and route all trace and snap output to NETPRNT. This command is necessary only after a CLOSE NETPRNT command has been used. It opens the NETPRNT file when Entire Net-Work is initialized. If the file is allocated SHR or OLD it will be erased when opened. This command cannot be abbreviated.

PROBE Command

PROBE  { nodename | nodeid } [ nnnn ]

The PROBE command verifies that the specified node is available and can be reached. Entire Net-Work issues internal probe commands for the same purpose during normal operation. PROBE routes an internal message to the specified node and back. If the node cannot be reached, this information is sent to all active nodes, updating the node status.

The optional second parameter specifies that nnnn bytes of random user data (64512 bytes maximum) are to be appended to the actual probe message. The exact length of the message sent can be calculated as follows:

70 + (nodestack size) + nnnn

where nodestack size is twice the number specified by the NODE statement parameter MAXPATH=, rounded up to the next multiple of 4. For example, with MAXPATH=4 (the default value) the following command results in a message of length 1078:

PROBE nodename 1000

The result of the operation is displayed on the operator console, as shown in the following example:

F NET1,PROBE TWO
NET0136I: PROBE MESSAGE SENT
NET0135I: PROBE FOR NODE TWO      (0001.711 SEC)
NET0120I: NODE TWO      (62194) DIST 000030 VIA LINK TOFIVE
NET0140I: VERSION v.r.s (1999/11/10)

RESUME Command

RESUME  linkname

Revokes a SUSPEND command for the specified link. The link's status changes to "active" and the link resumes sending queued messages.

SET Command

SET parameter=value, [ ... ]

The SET command can be used to change Entire Net-Work parameter settings dynamically without interrupting network operations. The SET command itself may be omitted.

Multiple parameters can be specified with one SET command. The parameters allowed for the SET command are a subset of those defined on the Entire Net-Work NODE statement. This section covers the following topics:

SET CQTIMER Command

SET CQTIMER=secs

The CQTIMER parameter of the SET command can be used to set the approximate waiting time allowed for a user or application to retrieve command results with a router-16-call before timeout occurs. For more information, read about the CQTIMER parameter of the NODE statement.

SET DUMP Command

SET DUMP={ ALL | NONE | BLOCKS | TRACETAB | BUFFERS | LINKAREA | FORMAT }

The DUMP parameter of the SET command can be used to set the storage areas to be included in a dump when Entire Net-Work terminates abnormally. The information is printed to the NETPRNT file if it is open. Otherwise, it is printed to the DDPRINT file. SET DUMP can be used to reduce the amount of output generated during an abend, especially on large Entire Net-Work systems. This command cannot be abbreviated.

In general, the default value of ALL should be used so that all diagnostic information is available to Software AG support.

Multiple values can be specified, separated by commas and surrounded by parentheses. For example:

SET DUMP=(BLOCKS, TRACETAB, FORMAT)

If conflicting values are specified, the last value specified is used. In the following, for example, the value used is NONE:

SET DUMP=(BLOCKS, TRACETAB, NONE)
Value Description
ALL All storage areas are dumped. This is the default value.
NONE No storage areas are dumped.
BLOCKS The major control blocks are dumped.
TRACETAB The internal trace table is dumped.
BUFFERS All internal buffer areas are dumped.
LINKAREA All storage areas related to a driver and link are dumped.
FORMAT The driver and link trace tables are formatted.

SET LOG Command

SET LOG={ ON | OFF | YES | NO | FULL | LIMIT | SHORT }

The LOG parameter of the SET command can be used to regulate control flow and logging of selected data areas to the printer data set. For more information, read about the LOG parameter of the NODE statement.

SET LOGBUF Command

SET LOGBUF={ ON | OFF | YES | NO}

The LOGBUF parameter of the SET command can be used to control the destination of log data. For more information, read about the LOGBUF parameter of the NODE statement.

SET LOGBUFSZ Command

SET LOGBUFSZ=[{0 | logbuffersize}]

The LOGBUFSZ parameter of the SET command can be used to specify the size of the log buffer. For more information, read about the LOGBUFSZ parameter of the NODE statement.

SET MAXPATH Command

SET  MAXPATH=linkcount

The MAXPATH parameter of the SET command can be used to set the maximum path link, specified in number of links, that a message from users on this node is expected to travel. For more information, read about the MAXPATH parameter of the NODE statement.

SET MSGFORM Command

SET  MSGFORM=message-format

The MSGFORM parameter of the SET command can be used to set the message format of console messages and DDPRINT output. For more information, read about the MSGFORM parameter of the NODE statement.

SET PASSWORD Command

SET  PASSWORD=password

The PASSWORD parameter of the SET command can be used to set the password that controls access to the Programmable Command Interface (PCI). For more information, read about the PASSWORD parameter of the NODE statement.

Note:
For security reasons, this command is accepted only through the Programmable Command Interface.

SET REMCMD Command

SET  REMCMD={ N | Y }

The REMCMD parameter of the SET command can be used to allow or disallow remote access to the Programmable Command Interface. For more information, read about the REMCMD parameter of the NODE statement.

SET REPLYTIM Command

SET  REPLYTIM=secs

The REPLYTIM parameter of the SET command can be used to set the time, in seconds, that this node is to wait for a reply to a user request before timing out. For more information, read about the REPLYTIM Parameter of the NODE statement.

SET SNAPERR Command

SET SNAPERR=[(msg1[,msg2][,msg3][,msg4]) | OFF]

Note:
The SET SNAPERR operator command does not work for all error messages. Use SNAPERR only under the direction of your Software AG support representative.

This optional parameter can be used for diagnostics. When specified correctly, it will take a snap dump whenever specific Entire Net-Work errors occur. For more information, read about the SNAPERR Parameter of the NODE statement.

To clear a SNAPERR setting, issue the operator command SET SNAPERR=OFF, or SET SNAPERR with no value specified.

SET TRACE, TROFF, and TRON Commands

SET  { TRACE | TROFF | TRON }={ trace | (trace,...) }

The TRACE, TROFF, and TRON parameters of the SET command can be used to set the trace control parameters for performing program traces. For more information, read about the TRACE, TROFF, and TRON parameters of the NODE statement.

SET UCMSG Command

SET  UCMSG={ N | Y }

The UCMSG parameter of the SET command can be used to control whether messages are issued in upper case or mixed case. For more information, see the UCMSG parameter of the NODE statement.

SET ULINK Command

SET  ULINK={ N | Y }

The ULINK parameter of the SET command can be used to allow or disallow multiple links to an adjacent Entire Net-Work node. For more information, see the ULINK parameter of the NODE statement.

Examples

For example, the following operator command:

F NODEA,SET CQTIMER=180,TRACE=OFF

is equivalent to the following NODE statement specification:

NODEA,CQTIMER=180,TRACE=OFF

SNAP Command

SNAP  { BPH | CQ | CURRMSG |  LOGBUF | MAIN  | MYBLK |  TRACE |  UBQ } 

Issue a snap dump of selected data areas to the DDPRINT file and continue processing. (Under certain circumstances, a snap dump is performed internally at either normal or abnormal session end.)

The optional parameters are used to snap one or more specific data areas:

Parameter Area
BPH Buffer pool headers.
CQ Command queue.
CURRMSG Message that Entire Net-Work mainline is currently working on.
LOGBUF Log buffer.
MAIN Header of mainline module.
MYBLK Central control block.
TRACE Internal trace table.
UBQ UB-Queue (currently active Adabas commands).

START Command

START drivername

Restart an installed line driver that was stopped due to an access method or other network or system failure, or by the CLOSE operator command. The driver name must be the same as that specified on a DRIVER statement. The START command is a synonym for the OPEN command.

SUSPEND Command

SUSPEND linkname

Instructs the specified link to not send any more messages. However, Entire Net-Work can still queue messages on this link. The SUSPEND command is valid only if the link is active.

VERIFY Command

VERIFY target-id

The VERIFY command is used to verify whether a target is still active or present in the network.

This command will report on the status of the target. If the target is not active but still locally in the network, it is removed and will no longer be seen in the DISPLAY TARGETS command. If the target is active and on another node, the target, target attributes and node will be displayed. If the target is active locally, but is not known to Entire Net-Work, Entire Net-Work becomes aware of the target and broadcasts this information throughout the network.

Specify a valid numeric target-ID in the range from 1 to 65535 with this command.

Note:
This command potentially changes the status information within Entire Net-Work. You should therefore use it with care, and have a clear understanding of what's happening.

VERIFY command processing takes no action for virtual or relocatable targets managed by Adabas Cluster Services. It acts only on targets that are local to the Entire Net-Work node where the command is issued.

  • If Entire Net-Work believes that the target is active on this node, but the target is not actually active, Entire Net-Work changes the target’s current status on this node as no longer active and broadcasts this information throughout the network.

  • If the target is active locally, but is not known to Entire Net-Work, Entire Net-Work becomes aware of the target and broadcasts this information throughout the network.

  • If the target is not known in the network and is not active locally, error message NET0172 is issued and no action is taken.

  • If the target is active locally, but Entire Net-Work believes it is active on another node, correct the situation in two steps:

    1. Issue the VERIFY command on the Entire Net-Work node where the target is believed to be active. This will make the target inactive in Entire Net-Work's view.

    2. Issue the VERIFY command on the Entire Net-Work node where the target is currently active. This will make Entire Net-Work aware of the target in the correct location.

Examples

For example, the following command verifies whether target 181 is still in the network:

VERIFY 181 

When the target is active and local to the node, one of the following messages is issued:

NET0171I Verify target 00181 already active
NET0174I Verify target 00181 is relocatable or virtual

If the target is not present in the network, the following message is issued:

NET0172I Verify target 00181 not in this Net-Work

If the target is active and on another node, the following message is issued:

NET0124I: Target ttttt (a-a) active on node nnnnnnnn

where nnnnnnnn is the node name, ttttt is the target ID, and (a-a) are the attributes of the target.

If the target is locally active but is not known to Entire Net-Work, Entire Net-Work becomes aware of the target and issues the following broadcast message:

NET0042I  Local Target 000181 active
