Configuring Tivoli NetView Operator Command Emulation › Modify Table Entries

Modify Table Entries

The command emulation tables are contained in a CAS table called EQUATES. Each table entry represents a Tivoli NetView operator command and can be defined as ACTIVE or INACTIVE. You can modify the EQUATES table while your region is running by using CAS Table Services.

To modify table entries

1. Enter /CASTAB at the prompt.

   The CAS : Table Definition List appears.

2. Enter L $VW at the prompt.

   The CAS : Table Definition List repositions.

3. Enter U next to $VWEQUATES.

   The CAS : Table Description panel appears.

4. Press F6 (Entries).

   The CAS : Table Entries for Field $VW.EQUATES appears.

5. Enter U beside a command.

   The CAS : Table Entry Definition panel appears.

6. Change the Active? (Yes/No) field and press F3 (File).

   The CAS : Table Entries for Field $VW.EQUATES appears.

7. Press F3 (Exit)

   The CAS : Table Description panel appears.

8. Press F3 (File).

   The CAS : Table Definition List appears.

9. Enter R beside $VWEQUATES and enter SUBMIT BSYS -START $VWCALL OPT=INIT from OCS or Command Entry.

   The changes take effect.

Considerations When Modifying Table Entries

Any changes you make are limited by the following rules:

• Changing an entry from INACTIVE to ACTIVE does not set a global equate. To do this, you must restart the region.
• Changing an entry from ACTIVE to INACTIVE takes affect after the table is reloaded. When an entry is set to INACTIVE, the NetView operator command is not operational.

  Note: When you inactivate Tivoli NetView operator commands that have the same name as MS commands, that is ACT and INACT, the inactivation does not become effective until the region is next restarted.

• If an entry is INACTIVE when the operator tries to use it, the command is executed as if it were an NCL procedure name and an error message may result, for example:

  START commandname
  N04005 NCL PROCEDURE commandname DOES NOT EXIST IN LIBRARY COMMANDS.
  

The Tivoli NetView operator commands initialization process, described in the Installation Guide, can be performed on entry to OCS; however, this means that the following applies:

• The equates are effective only while the operator remains in OCS.
• You cannot set an equate for a command that has the same name as a Management Services (MS) command, that is, the ACT and INACT commands.
