Product Overview
Network Operations Interface provides Web access to the operations interface for all networking stacks (BNA, TCP/IP, and OSI) for all ClearPath Enterprise Servers running MCP.
General Features
Network Operations Interface is an interactive Web-based product that provides the following capabilities:
-
An easy-to-use interface for entering and invoking a full complement of executable network commands and inquires along with many MCP commands. The interface also retains commands and inquiries that are no longer supported in the current MCP release.
-
An interface to receive and display the responses associated with the commands and inquiries invoked plus the reports and audited responses selected for monitoring.
-
The first graphical interface capable of displaying responses greater than 64 KB for selected network commands.
-
A comprehensive set of selectable forms that assist in building and executing network commands and inquiries. Each form displays the complete syntax of the selected command or inquiry. Keywords, attributes, and options for the fields within a command are available through text boxes and lists.
This interface is particularly useful when building complex commands with which the user might not be familiar or the available options and attributes are not known.
The contents of the various fields of a command form are saved in a cookie file each time a command is invoked. As a result, the command form is prefilled the next time this command is selected.
Command forms include a Restore Defaults button that restores the various fields of the command form to their original (default) values.
-
An installation utility that employs a set of screens to assist you in installing and configuring Network Operations Interface.
-
Context-sensitive help that describes all network commands and their associated responses. Also included are online versions of the reports and log messages document, and the networking attributes data dictionary.
-
Help documentation (including page-specific help) that describes the use of Network Operations Interface.
