3933.0. "Sharing of .NCL script ?" by GADWAL::W_MCGAW () Wed Apr 16 1997 17:31

    Hi,
    
    I have a customer interested in sharing .NCL script files in a cluster
    that has two separate system disks.  He wants to place common .NCL
    files on a third disk and map to them with logicals.
    
    First question:  Can this be done for the .NCL scripts
    
    Second question:  If yes, do you simply create logicals called
    NET$entity pointing to the location and .NCL file in the
    NET$LOGICALS.COM procedure? 
    
    Thank you,

3933.1In the Network Management GuideCXO3W1::M_SHELDONThu Apr 17 1997 17:3949
Section 6.3 of the DECnet-Plus V7.1. for OpenVMS Network Management Guide,
AA-R1UHA-TE, says:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.3 Defining Logical Names That Modify Network Startup (OpenVMS)

Prior to starting the network with net$startup.com , you can modify
components of the network by using the following system logical names:

� net$ entity-name _startup

Specifies a logical name that points to an alternate file location for the
network startup .ncl scripts. For example, enter the following to redefine
net$routing_startup :

$ define/system net$routing_startup - _$
sys$sysroot:[sysmgr.network_scripts]net$routing_startup.ncl

� net$ignore_decnet

Values can be either true or false.

If set to true , the network software is not started. If not defined or
false , the network starts normally.

� net$startup_quiet_ncl

Values can be either true or false.

If set to true , NCL output is suppressed during the startup sequence. A
message indicates that an NCL script is being executed. If not defined or
false , all NCL output is displayed.

� net$startup_mop

Values can be either true or false.

If set to true , MOP is started. If not defined or false , MOP is not
started.

If you want the operating system to define these logicals before starting
the network, place these system logical definitions in the
sys$manager:net$logicals.com file. (If you do not have
sys$manager:net$logicals.com file on your system, you can create one using
sys$manager:net$logicals.template .)

3933.2what files might be candidates for sharing?GADWAL::W_MCGAWThu Apr 17 1997 17:445
    Thanks for the information Mike!  Is there a guideline for what .NCL
    files are candidates for sharing or is it pretty much just check for
    what files look the same internally and those can be shared?
