Using $$ACTION VERBS in the Network Map
Add $$ACTION verbs to the network map source as described in the description of the NETINPUT
parameter of the UPDATE NETMAP command. For more information on the required parameter, NETINPUT,
refer to Updating the Network Map while IBM Connect:Direct is Running. Each verb defines the action to
take for the node entry immediately following the action verb. Three basic action verbs and three
special purpose action verb pairs exist. For effect of the $$ACTION verbs on the node usage
information see, Node Usage Information Maintenance.
Note: The PNODE.LAST.USED and
SNODE.LAST.USED parameters are not supported by the $$ACTION verbs.
The following table describes the action verbs:
Action Verb | Description |
---|---|
$$INSERT | Inserts the following node entry into the network map. |
$$UPDATE | Updates the following existing network map node
entry. Node entry updates are performed as a replacement at the keyword
level. Therefore, updates of list-type keywords, like APPLIDS, require
that you specify the entire list. Do not use $$UPDATE to update network map node entries which already contain the LDNS parameter. Use $$DELETE and $$ INSERT to change nodes which contain an LDNS parameter. Note: You
can use $$UPDATE to add the LDNS parameter to a node which did not
previously contain one.
|
$$REPLACE | Replaces the present node entry with the one following the $$REPLACE verb. This verb first does a $$DELETE and then a $$INSERT. It can be used in place of $$UPDATE. |
$$DELETE | Deletes the following existing network map node entry. |
$$SYNTAX and $$ENDSYNTAX | Performs a syntax check of the network map control statements following this verb. |
$$VERIFY and $$ENDVERIFY | Verifies that the node definitions following this verb match those in the network map. |
$$BLKxxxxxx and $$ENDxxxxxx | Performs the basic action verb defined by xxxxxx for the block of node entries following this verb. Replace xxxxxx with either INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. |
