Introduction

Display-only Fields

Certain fields display data, but do not allow you to enter new data or change the data displayed. Display-only fields appear on the input forms without boxes or underlines.

Carried-over Fields

Some fields display information provided by the user on a previous form of the current command. Carried-over fields may be display-only, or in some cases, may allow user input.

Common Fields on Input Forms ± Destination for results and Schedule execution

Destination for results

Use this field to specify where NMS should send the results from the command execution. Valid options are crt, remote, printer, lp, and queue. Multiple destinations can be specified.

crt (default)

This selection causes the command results to display on your workstation screen. When you specify the destination as crt, the command must be executed immediately. It cannot be scheduled for a later time.

NOTE

When you specify crt, NMS does not allow any other command to be accessed from the current window until execution of the current command has completed. Certain commands, e.g., tests that take time to execute, or reports that include large volumes of data, can take several minutes to complete. In these instances it is recommended that you send the results of the command to a queue or to a printer. The command will execute in the background, allowing you to access and execute other commands at the same time.

remote

This selection sends the results of the command to a remotely located printer. If you specify remote, a telephone number prompt displays on the screen allowing you to specify the telephone number of the remote printer. If an ACU phone number has been included in your user profile (an optional field), this phone number becomes the default number.

lp

Sends results to a remote line printer. You are prompted for the name of the remote printer in a field that appears below the destination field.
