NSINIT

NSINIT uses a dialogue to prompt the user for initialization information. You can specify an answer file that contains the responses to the dialogue or you can respond to the dialogueinteractively.

Scheduling NSINIT

To initialize NSARPA, you can schedule NSINIT from the system WELCOME file.

[RU,]NSINIT[,inputDevice][,outputDevice][,logDevice]

inputDevice

Device (file or interactive device LU) that provides input for

 

NSINIT dialogue. The inputDevice can be an answer file

 

previously created by running NSINIT. If inputDevice is an

 

interactive device, NSINIT will also print prompts and error

 

messages to the device.

 

Default: local LU 1 (scheduling terminal).

outputDevice

Device (file name or device LU) to which NSINIT will write the

 

dialogue. If this is a file, it can later be used as an answer file.

 

If outputDevice and inputDevice are files, they cannot

 

be the same file. If you enter the name of an existing file,

 

NSINIT will ask you if you want to overwrite the file. If you

 

specify a device, HP recommends that the device be spooled. If

 

you enter LU 0, NSINIT does not create any output.

 

Default: If inputDevice is interactive, NSINIT will prompt

 

you for a file name. If inputDevice is not interactive, the

 

default is LU 0 (no output). During an interactive NSINIT

 

dialogue, NSINIT prompts you again for an output file name.

logDevice

Device (file name or device LU) to which NSINIT will log any

 

errors.

 

Default: local LU 1 (scheduling terminal).

NSARPA Message Tracing

There are three NSARPA message tracing utilities:

DNSTRC, which enables message tracing

DBRTRC, which terminates message tracing and allows you to format the trace file

DFMTRC, which formats the trace file and allows you to select trace records according to nodes, Link Interfaces, and sockets
