NOF Verbs to Manage Specific SNAplus2
Functions
The following sections list the NOF verbs that are relevant to particular
SNAplus2 functions. For more information about individual verbs, see
Chapters 3, 4, and 5.
Managing the Target (Node or File) for NOF Verbs
A NOF verb can be issued to a node, to the domain configuration file, or
to the SNA network data file. To access the target node or file, use one of
the following verbs:
• OPEN_FILE
• CONNECT_NODE
When you issue the verbs shown above to access the target, you are
initially restricted to issuing verbs that query the configuration; you
cannot issue verbs to modify it. To obtain write access to the target node
or file so that you can issue verbs that modify the configuration, use the
following verb:
• SET_PROCESSING_MODE
To register for indications when the target configuration changes, use the
following verb:
• REGISTER_INDICATION_SINK
To unregister when indications are no longer required, use the following
verb:
• UNREGISTER_INDICATION_SINK
To release the target node or file when you have finished issuing NOF
verbs, use one of the following verbs:
• DISCONNECT_NODE, CLOSE_FILE
The CONNECT_NODE and DISCONNECT_NODE verbs can be issued
on the HP-UX client computers as well as on a server; this enables you to
use SET_CS_TRACE, QUERY_CS_TRACE, SET_TRACE_FILE, and
QUERY_TRACE_FILE to control client-server tracing for the client. For
