Listing Servers Registered on EntireX Broker

You can obtain information on RPC servers registered on EntireX Broker by using the SYSRPC SRVLIST direct command.

SYSRPC SRVLIST sends a call to EntireX Broker requesting information on RPC servers registered on EntireX Broker with the attributes SERVER-CLASS=RPC and SERVICE=CALLNAT.

You can execute SYSRPC SRVLIST online (issued from a Natural command prompt) or in batch mode.

You can navigate through the list and view additional server information by using the following commands described in the following table.

The leftmost column containing the name of the RPC server is always retained at its position when you scroll right or left in the list.

Command Description
PF3 Terminates the command.
PF6 Scrolls data to the leftmost column.
PF7 Scrolls data to the left.
PF8 or PF11 Scrolls data to the right.
PF9 Scrolls data to the rightmost column.

Viewing Additional Server Information

You can display additional information on a specific RPC server.

Customizing Server Lists

You can rearrange a list of servers or a server information list as required by using the Natural HEAD1MAP or HEAD2MAP text object, respectively. HEAD1MAP and HEAD2MAP are supplied in the SYSRPC system library.

We recommend that you copy HEAD1MAP (list of servers) from the SYSRPC library to a user-defined library before you start editing the list. You can then rename the object and reference it in the SRVLIST command. You cannot rename HEAD2MAP (server information) list).

The text objects to be used must be contained in the current library, the library specified with the NTRPC/RPC keyword subparameter RPCSDIR (see the Parameter Reference documentation), or the SYSRPC system library if the object name HEAD1MAP is used.

HEAD1MAP and HEAD2MAP contain instructions on how you change a list according to your needs. You can comment out the source code lines for columns and headings not required in your report. You can change code line positions to reorder columns. Exceptions:

  • For HEAD1MAP: You must not comment out or move the first source line containing the SERVER-NAME field. You must not change the name of a field in the Field column.

  • For HEAD2MAP: You must not change the name of a field in the Field column.
