Using Rdfcom Noninteractively (Without An In File); Using Rdfcom From A Command File (In File) - HP NonStop RDF J-series RVUs Management Manual

resume communication with RDFCOM by entering the operating system command PAUSE
at the TACL prompt.
• If you press BREAK when an RDFCOM command that displays information (such as STATUS
RDF) is in progress, RDFCOM terminates execution of this command and prompts you for
another one.
• If you press BREAK when an RDFCOM command that changes the RDF configuration or
status (such as ALTER RDF) is in progress, RDFCOM continues to execute this command
while immediately prompting you for another one.
NOTE:
terminals, however, have some key or combination of keys that perform the BREAK operation.
Before using RDFCOM, determine how this operation is selected on your terminal.

Using RDFCOM Noninteractively (without an IN File)

When you use RDFCOM noninteractively, you enter one or more commands to RDFCOM at the
same time you start your session. RDFCOM executes all of these commands, and then terminates
the session and returns control of your terminal to TACL.
To run RDFCOM noninteractively, you enter the RDFCOM keyword, the control subvolume
name, the semicolon, and one or more RDFCOM commands on the same line. The following
example includes a command that displays current configuration information for the RDF monitor
(the example assumes that \LONDON is the primary system, the suffix character "A" was
specified in the INITIALIZE RDF command, and the user did not explicitly name the monitor
process):
1> RDFCOM LONDONA; INFO MONITOR
RDFCOM - T0346A07 - 05JUL05
(C)2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
MONITOR CPUS 0:1
MONITOR PRIORITY 170
MONITOR PROCESS $MON
2>
As this example illustrates, after the command is executed, the RDFCOM session automatically
terminates and the TACL prompt again appears.
To specify multiple RDFCOM commands on a single line, you must enter a semicolon (;) to
separate each command from the preceding one. For example:
3> RDFCOM LONDONA; INFO MONITOR; INFO EXTRACTOR
If any command on the line fails, RDFCOM reports the error and terminates without executing
any of the subsequent commands.

Using RDFCOM From a Command File (IN file)

RDFCOM can also read commands from a command file. The command file is a text file that
contains the RDFCOM commands you want to execute, which you prepare using your standard
text editor. You might, for example, create a command file named RDFSET that contains the
following commands:
SET RDF SOFTWARELOC $SYSTEM.RDF
SET RDF LOGFILE $0
SET RDF UPDATERDELAY 10
SET RDF UPDATERTXTIME 60
SET RDF UPDATERRTDWARNING 60
SET RDF UPDATEROPEN PROTECTED
SET RDF NETWORK ON
SET RDF NETWORKMASTER ON
SET RDF UPDATEREXCEPTION OFF
ADD RDF

On your terminal, the BREAK key might not actually be labeled "BREAK." All
