To confirm the deletions, enter Y and press ENTER.

Note:
It is important to remember that PF4 erases only the addresses displayed. That means, if you enter a selection criterion such as FHOST in the Node field, press ENTER and then PF4 (erase all), only the cabinets downloaded from node FHOST will be deleted from your local Con-nect node.

Import an Address

You can import addresses on an individual basis directly from the "Download Address Maintenance" screen. To do so, you mark the address with IM in the Cmd column and press ENTER. As a result, a screen similar to the one below displays the address that has been created based upon the addressing rules you specified (see Add Profiles). If a unique address cannot be created, you are requested to modify the nickname of the address before importing the address.

Each address which is created with the Import Addresses function is added to the Con-nect node as an external address.

You can modify the following information:

Nickname

Nickname created for the imported address based upon the import rules you specified with the Add Profile function. See Add Profiles.

Folder

Current folder in which the imported address will be stored, as specified with the Add Profile function. See Add Profiles.

File

Current file in which imported address will be stored, as specified with the Add Profile function. See Add Profiles.

To import the address, press PF5.

Thus the address is imported to your local node and the address is removed from the "Download Address Maintenance" screen.

If, when importing several addresses concurrently, you want to cancel the import of only the currently displayed address, press PF3. If you want to cancel the import of all selected addresses, press PF12.

Find Addressee

You can use an address' alias or addressee name as a search qualifier to quickly position the list of addresses to that address.

If you want to position to an address via the alias you press PF5 and enter the alias in the resulting window. If you want to position to an address via the addressee name, press PF6 and enter the name in the resulting window.
