Introduction to the NOF API
NOF Verbs to Manage Specific SNAplus2 Functions
To define these permissions and enable NetView operators to access SPCF or UCF or both, use the following verb:
• DEFINE_RCF_ACCESS
To check the permissions currently defined, use the following verb:
• QUERY_RCF_ACCESS
To prevent operators from using either SPCF or UCF, use the following verb:
• DELETE_RCF_ACCESS
To remove access to one function but leave the other available, use the following verb:
• DEFINE_RCF_ACCESS
1.5.14 Managing Diagnostics Settings
The SNAplus2 default setting for log messages is to log problem and exception messages but not audit messages,
and to use central logging (messages from all servers sent to a central log file on the master server). Succinct
logging is used (that is, logging of header parameters and message text, but not full details of cause and action for
each message). The error log file, used for problem and exception messages, is
/var/opt/sna/sna.err; the
audit log file, used for audit messages if these are enabled, is /var/opt/sna/sna.aud. Each of these files is
backed up and reset when the file size reaches 1 megabyte. The default settings for succinct logging, exception
and audit logging, file names, and file sizes can all be overridden using NOF verbs, as described in the following
information.
The verbs to manage central logging and global logging options apply to clients as well as to servers. However,
other diagnostics settings on Windows clients are controlled by options in the Windows Registry (Win32 clients) or
in the Windows client initialization file sna.ini (Win16 clients), and not by NOF verbs. For more information,
refer to the
HP-UX SNAplus2 Administration Guide.
SNAplus2 also maintains a usage log file /var/opt/sna/sna.usage, which is used to record information
about the current and peak usage of SNAplus2 resources. This file is backed up and reset in the same way as the
error and audit log files, and the file name and file size can be specified in the same way.
To specify whether central logging is enabled, use the following verb:
• SET_CENTRAL_LOGGING
To specify whether exception messages or audit messages or both are logged, or to specify whether succinct logging
or full logging is to be used, either to establish global default settings for all servers or to override the defaults for
a particular server, use the following verbs:
• SET_GLOBAL_LOG_TYPE, SET_LOG_TYPE
To change the file names or directories used for log messages or to change the size at which files are backed up
and reset, use the following verb:
• SET_LOG_FILE
To check which server is currently defined as the central logger or to check whether central logging is enabled, use
the following verbs:
• QUERY_CENTRAL_LOGGER, QUERY_CENTRAL_LOGGING
To check the types of messages being recorded or to check whether succinct logging or full logging is being used,
either globally or on a particular server, use the following verbs:
• QUERY_GLOBAL_LOG_TYPE, QUERY_LOG_TYPE
To check the file, file size, or directory being used for a particular log type, use the following verb:
• QUERY_LOG_FILE
If you want to activate tracing to diagnose problems with connectivity components on a particular SNAplus2 node
or to deactivate it after collecting the required data, use the following verbs:
