Using NETTOOL

Using the NETTOOL Tools

The following sections describe each of the available tools and provide

information on their use. You can access additional information from

within NETTOOL by asking for help on the tool from the main menu.

NOTE

You can use abbreviations for the NETTOOL commands. The

abbreviations must uniquely identify the command at the current

menu.

To Use CONFIGURATION SUMMARY

The CONFIGURATION SUMMARY tool provides options that let you

display information from the network conﬁguration and network

directory ﬁles. To use this tool, perform the following steps.

1. Run NETTOOL by entering the program name at the MPE prompt:

NETTOOL.NET.SYS

The root menu will appear.

2. Select the CONFIGURATION SUMMARY tool from the main menu by

entering the CONFIG command. A new menu will appear.

3. Select the menu item or items needed to display the information you

want to see. The available choices are described as follows.

SUMMARY Select this command to generate a summary of the

conﬁguration ﬁle, NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. Optionally, you

can specify a different conﬁguration ﬁle using the

syntax:

SUMMARY confilename

You can also specify a different ﬁle using the conffile

command.

NETDIR Select this command to generate a summary of the

network directory ﬁle, NSDIR.NET.SYS.

COMPARE Select this command to compare the contents of two

conﬁguration ﬁles. You can specify the ﬁles to use in the

command, using the syntax:

COMPARE altﬁle confﬁle

If you do not specify an altfile, the program will

prompt you for one. If you do not specify a conffile,

the program will use NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.

You can limit the comparison to just a subset of records

using the subtree option.
