A node is an individual computer system in a network that can communicate with other computer systems in the network. The format for a node-specification is: [ [ [UIC] password ] [ account ] ] node-name["[ user-name password ] [ ]"] [ [ input-prompts ] [ input-prompt] ]
1 – Arguments
node-name the remote node. UIC the user identification code, or PPN, through which you can access the domain. user-name the user name through which you can access the domain. password the login password for the user name or UIC/PPN. account the account through which you can access the domain. input-prompt a prompting value expression that can ask for login information. If you define or ready a domain without using input-prompts, you must specify a user name or UIC and then a password. (Account is optional.)
2 – Example
Ready the PERSONNEL domain on node BIGVAX and then the PROJECTS domain on node ELEVEN: DTR> READY PERSONNEL AT BIGVAX"CASIDI SESAME" DTR> READY PROJECTS AT ELEVEN"[200,200] BELLE" Ready the PERSONNEL domain on node ELEVEN. Use input prompts for both user name and password: DTR> READY PERSONNEL AT ELEVEN"*.'user name' *.'password'" When the remote node is accessed, DEC DATATRIEVE asks for the required login information. The password response is not echoed to the terminal. You can also use input-prompts in domain definitions, not just in a READY command.
