PURGEVC
PURGEVC
Purges an X.25 virtual circuit address key from the network directory
and the configuration file.
Syntax PURGEVC [filename]
Parameters filename The name of a text file that contains X.25 address
information for each remote node to be deleted from the
configuration file and directory. The format for the file
name is:
filename[.groupname[.accountname]]
A file lockword may not be specified. The contents of the
file must be formatted as described below.
Description PURGEVC removes an address key from both the local network directory
and the configuration file. If there are multiple occurrences of the same
address key under a single NI, all occurrences are purged. The
directory node associated with the address key to be purged will be
purged itself if it contains no other addresses.
The directory and configuration files must be opened either via the
Open Configuration/Directory File screen or via the OPENDIR and
OPENCONF maintenance mode command before ADDVC is invoked.
PURGEVC can be run interactively, by entering maintenance mode from
screen mode and typing the command, or it can be run from a batch job.
When PURGEVC is used interactively and no filename is specified, the
user is prompted to enter address parameters for each remote node.
When PURGEVC is run interactively and a filename is specified, or when
the command is run from a job, entries must be made in the following
format:
nodename[,] address key[,] NI name [;]
The description of each address key parameter is as follows:
nodename The name of a node for which the address key is to be
purged. The format is:
nodename.domain.organization
Each of the three names may be from one to sixteen
characters long, must begin with a letter, and may
contain letters, digits, underscores, or dashes.
