You can obtain information on RPC servers registered on EntireX Broker by using the
SYSRPC SRVLIST direct command.
This command corresponds to the List Natural RPC servers function of the Service Directory context menu.
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.
Note:
When you execute this command online, a window prompts you to logon to the EntireX
Broker specified in the command.
The following command syntax applies to SYSRPC SRVLIST:
SYSRPC SRVLIST
server-name
ON
broker-name
[[PORT]
port-number][TRANSPORT
{TCP|SSL|NET}][USING{HEAD1MAP|object-name}] |
The symbols used in the syntax diagram are explained in the section Syntax Symbols in the Statements documentation.
The syntax elements are explained in the following table:

SYSRPC SRVLIST SERV* ON BRK123
This command returns data for all servers whose names start with SERV on
EntireX Broker BRK123.
When you execute the SYSRPC SRVLIST direct command or corresponding
List Natural RPC servers context menu function, a Servers list window similar to
the example below opens:
The columns and column headings on the Servers window are
described in the HEAD1MAP text object. See also Customizing Server
Lists.
You can display additional information on a specific RPC server.
To display additional information for a single server
In the Servers list window, select the server for which you want to display additional information and choose Additional information about server from the context menu.
An Information about Natural RPC Server window similar to the example below opens:
The screen displays all information EntireX Broker returned for the requested server. See also 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 profile
parameter 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.
