MPE Commands
SNACONTROL START
If you are using a manual-dial modem, you can begin to dial after this
logging message is displayed on the console:
Node
NodeName
ready for activation by host
Note that if you are using a manual-dial modem, console logging for
SNA Transport logging class CLAS0013 must be enabled (see Chapter
3 , “Logging Configuration,”) so that the above message can be
displayed.
Also, note that once a node is active, reissuing this command for that
node causes an error. For example, if node IBMNODE is already active,
and you try to start node tracing for that node by typing
SNACONTROL START;NODE=IBMNODE;NODETRACE
you will get an error message.
Examples SNACONTROL START;NODE=IBMNODE;LINKTRACE;ERROPT=SUB
The node IBMNODE is to be started. Also, partial (the default)
link-level tracing is to be started, and the trace data is to be written to
the default trace file (as explained earlier, it will automatically be
written to the SYS account). If SNA Transport finds an irrecoverable
internal error, SNA Transport is to be terminated, but HP e3000
processing is to continue. (Note that if the
ERROPT
parameter was not
specified, the same action would be taken for an irrecoverable internal
error, because ERROPT=SUB is the default.)
SNACONTROL START;LINKTRACE=FULL,TF01;NODETRACE
The only configured node is to be started. Also, full link-level tracing
(written to the file TF01 in the SYS account [as explained earlier]), and
node tracing (written to the default file) are to be started. Note that if
more than one node was configured, this command would not be valid:
A list of configured nodes would be displayed, and the command would
have to be reissued with the proper NODE=
NodeName
parameter
included.
SNACONTROL START;LINKTRACE=,TF01
The only configured node is to be started. Also, partial (the default)
link-level tracing is to be started, and the trace data is to be written to
the file TF01 in the SYS account (as explained earlier). Note that if
more than one node was configured, this command would not be valid:
A list of configured nodes would be displayed, and the command would
have to be reissued with the proper NODE=
NodeName
parameter
included.
SNACONTROL START;LINKTRACE=;NODETRACE
This command is not valid because the equal sign is specified with the
LINKTRACE
parameter, but no values are specified after it (the equal
sign should be included only if one or both of the values after it are
specified); an error would occur.
