This section explains how you use the BCAM commands which establish the association between BCAM names and DNS names. The command sequences which are needed to obtain the required information for specific tasks are shown.
Example: DNS name known
All the connections which currently exist to a computer whose DNS name is known are to be displayed.
Use the SHOW-BCAM-NAMES command to ascertain the BCAM name.
/SHOW-BCAM-NAMES NAME=*DNS(DNS-NAME='PC123456.mycompany.NET')Use the SHOW-CONNECTION command to display the connections to this computer, selecting the BCAM name which was previously ascertained.
/SHOW-CONNECTION CONNECTION=*VIA-PROCESSOR(PROCESSOR-NAME=PC123456)
Example: BCAM name known
All the connections which currently exist to a computer whose BCAM name is known are to be displayed. The DNS name of the processor and the DNS name of the BCAM host are also to be determined.
Use the SHOW-CONNECTION command to display the connections to this computer directly, selecting the BCAM name.
/SHOW-CONNECTION CONNECTION=*VIA-PROCESSOR(PROCESSOR-NAME=PC123456)Use the SHOW-BCAM-NAMES command to ascertain the DNS name for the BCAM name.
/SHOW-BCAM-NAMES NAME=*BCAM(BCAM-NAME=PC123456),OBJECT-TYPE=*PROCESSORAscertain the DNS name of the BCAM host in the same way.
Take the name of the BCAM host - e.g. BCAMHOST - from message BCAM08A1 and use it to ascertain the *DNS name.
/SHOW-BCAM-NAMES NAME=*BCAM(BCAM-NAME=BCAMHOST),OBJECT-TYPE=*HOST
Diagnostics example
The DNS names used in BCAM can be displayed in ASTRID. The NAME TYPE=*DNS command enables all DNS name which are assigned to the BCAM hosts and the processors to be output.
In a similar way you can obtain some of the information using the SHOW-BCAM-NAMES command.
/SHOW-BCAM-NAMES NAME=*ALL,OBJECT-TYPE=*ANY,INF=*DNS-NAMES
Note
The following commands which establish a reference to the DNS names are offered for diagnostics:
SHOW-BCAM-INFO-BASIC
SHOW-BCAM-INFO-ADDRESS
SHOW-BCAM-INFO-NAME
