Using NETTOOL
Using the NETTOOL Tools
filters This option displays the current values of the global
filters, conffile, altfile, and subtree, as well as
the current settings of the global filters.
conffile Use this option to select a configuration file for the
SUMMARY and COMPARE options.
altfile Use this option to select an alternate file for the
COMPARE option.
subtree Allows you to specify a subset of records to be compared
by the COMPARE option. For example, if you specify
NETXPORT.NI.LAN1, the program will check only those
screens in the file whose name starts with
NETXPORT.NI.LAN1.
To set this value back to the default (root), press
[RETURN] at the subtree prompt.
To Use filters
The filters tool displays global filter setup.
1. Run NETTOOL by entering the program name at the MPE prompt:
NETTOOL.NET.SYS
The root menu will appear.
2. Select the filters tool from the main menu by entering the filters
command. Filter options will be displayed as follows:
INFILE: default none
OUTFILE: default none
MESSAGES FLAG: default set
DATA FLAG: default set
MENUS FLAG: default set
NODE NAME FILTER: default @
IP address: default @
GFLAGS default set
NOTE GFLAGS is a toggle key. It could be “SET” or “NOT SET” by typing
“GF”.
If GFLAGS is “SET” then global and local filters will be the same.
If GFLAGS is “NOT SET” then only the local filter will change and local
will take priority over the global filter.
