HP UX SNAplus2 manual NetView Screen Display, Changing the Size of the Command Input Area, Input n

Managing SNAplus2 from NetView

Using the Host NetView Program

Step 5. If you are using 3270 emulation to access NetView, follow the instructions in HP-UX SNAplus2 3270/3179G Users Guide for ending 3270 emulation when you have finished issuing commands.

NetView Screen Display

The layout of the NetView screen varies with different versions of NetView at different hosts.

The display includes an input area at the bottom of the screen; this is the area into which you can type commands. The line ??? divides the main screen area (where NetView displays responses to your commands) from the input area.

Changing the Size of the Command Input Area

By default, the input area is one line, but for some of the longer commands you need more than one line. On some versions of NetView, you can specify an input area of one, two, or three lines by using the input command. To do this, type the following command:

input n

In this command, n is 1, 2, or 3, indicating the number of lines you want. If this command does not work on the version of NetView you are using, contact your NetView support personnel.

Overview of RCF Command Syntax

Both SPCF and UCF commands use the RCF command syntax:

runcmd sp=spname, appl=component, commandtext

NetView uses the runcmd utility to send a command string to a remote system. The command includes the following parameters:

sp=spname

Indicate the service point name (defined at NetView) that corresponds to the SNAplus2 node. The host NetView personnel can give you this information.

appl=component

Indicate the name of the SNAplus2 component to which NetView should send the command, as follows:
