HP Stage/iX Commands
Syntax
USE [FILENAME=] filename
Parameters
[FILENAME=]filename (required)
Any valid MPE/iX file for which you have READ access.
Example
To use the USE command to process an ASCII file in STAGEMAN, enter:
STAGEMAN> VALIDATE
VALIDATE (VAL)
An HP Stage/iX staging area must be validated before it can be used. The VALIDATE
command is used to validate a staging area. VALIDATE will verify the integrity of the
staging area, and will report back any problems with the staging area. If there are no
problems, a “valid” flag will be set stating that the staging area is ready for use.
The LIST command can be used to view the current status (valid or invalid) of a staging
area. The INVALIDATE command will reset the valid flag, preventing a particular staging
area from being used.
The VALIDATE command can be abbreviated VAL.
Syntax
Normal Mode:
VALIDATE [[STAGE=] stage_name ]
Expert Mode:
VALIDATE [[STAGE=] stage_name ] [;NOOVERRIDE]
[;OVERRIDE ]
Parameters
[[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
The name of the HP Stage/iX staging area to be VALIDATED. This must be a legal staging
area name for a pre-existing staging area. The staging area cannot be in use or designated
for use on the next boot (see the SET command).
Staging area names are case sensitive. “STAGE1” is not equivalent to “stage1” or “Stage1”.
Expert Mode Parameter:
[;{NOOVERRIDE}] (optional)
{ OVERRIDE}
If ;OVERRIDE is specified, then STAGEMAN will set the valid flag without checking to see if
the contents of the staging area are really valid. Otherwise, STAGEMAN will validate that
each file is actually in the staging area, that each file is OK (for example, disk space
restrictions are observed), and any additional checking that may be performed on a file by
