Function TU - Terminal / User ID Group Maintenance (Administrator)

The name of a group of terminals, lines, and / or User IDs can be used in operator commands and as a target for message switching.

A group may contain any combination of terminals, lines, and / or User IDs. Each terminal or line may be identified by either its number (TID/LID) or by its name.

When a group name is specified in an operator command or as a receiver of a message, it is converted to a list of terminal identification numbers (TIDs).

Note:
If a group contains a terminal name and more than one terminal with this name exist, only the lowest of their TIDs is taken into account when this TID list is being created.

The TU function of UUTIL allows you to maintain these groups.

If you select the TU option from the utilities menu, a screen is displayed listing the names of all groups currently defined, for example: 

11:47:40        TID    13          COM-5.1.          User MBE          19.04.97
 System: Global             -- TIB / UserID Groups --                       UTU0

 Enter group name: DEMO     System:   or select group by cursor
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
                   End

You can enter the name of a group you want to modify or add, or select a group name from the list by placing the cursor on it and pressing ENTER to display the group maintenance menu, for example: 

11:49:45        TID    13          COM-5.1.          User MBE          19.04.97
 System: Global        -- TIB / UserID Group Maintenance --                 UTU1

 Group:  DEMO         Add: T =          ( T=TIBname / T=TIBnumber / U=userID )
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 T=_______1
 T=PRINT014
 U=USERID1
 U=USERID2
 U=USERID3











 Enter-PF1---PF2---PF3---PF4---PF5---PF6---PF7---PF8---PF9---PF10--PF11--PF12---
                   End         Save        Up    Down                    Remove

From this menu, you can perform any of the following:

  • Scroll the listing of the group forward PF8 and backwards PF7

  • Add a TIB or an User ID to the group. To achieve this, specify the item you want to add in the input fields after the Add prompt and press ENTER

  • Remove a TIB or an User ID from the group. Place the cursor at the member you want to remove and press PF12. If you remove the last member from a group, the group will be deleted immediately

Additions and removals (except deletion of the whole group) become effective after you press PF5.
