CAPNETA Capture Network Attributes

CAPNETA CAPTURE NETWORK ATTRIBUTES TAANETD
The Capture Network Attributes command captures the network attributes and stores them in the NETWRKATTR data area in TAASECURE or a named library. The companion command RTNNETA returns the network attributes to their original settings. An option exists to prevent changes if replacing network attributes on a different system. Typical commands for the capturing and returning the attributes for the same system would be: CAPNETA RTNNETA The intent of the command is to allow the current network attributes to be backed up in a data area and restored when needed. This can be helpful when distributing network attributes, using LPAR, or when a hot site is used. Security considerations ----------------------- The CAPNETA command can be used by the *PUBLIC user. It adopts the authority of the Security Officer to be able to access the TAASECURE library. The RTNNETA command can only be used by a user with *ALLOBJ special authority. This approach allows for the CAPNETA command to be part of a daily or periodic system backup run by an operator, but only a user with special authority can restore the attributes. CAPNETA command *CMD --------------- LIB The library to capture the network attributes in. The default is TAASECURE. A data area by the name of NETWRKATTR will be created in a library (if TAASECURE is not named) and the data area does not exist. RTNNETA command *CMD --------------- LIB The library where the NETWRKATTR data exists. The default is TAASECURE. The data area must have been written to by the CAPNETA command. CHGTYPE *ALL is the default to change all network attributes. This would be the case if 1) You are restoring the attributes to the same system (want to refresh to a prior set of values) or 2) You are restoring to a new set of hardware that will replace the old set. *ADDLSYS is intended for the case where you are restoring an additional system that should look like the system you captured the attributes from. Because it is an additional system, the following attributes are not restored" SYSNAME, LCLNETID, LCLCPNAME, LCLLOCNAME, and NWSDOMAIN. Restrictions ------------ A user with *ALLOBJ special authority is required for RTNNETA. Prerequisites ------------- The following TAA Tools must be on your system: CHKALLOBJ Check all object authority SNDCOMPMSG Send completion message Implementation -------------- None, the tool is ready to use. The NETWRKATTR data area in TAASECURE is created by the tool if it does not already exist. Objects used by the tool ------------------------ Object Type Attribute Src member Src file ------ ---- --------- ---------- ---------- CAPNETA *CMD TAANETD QATTCMD RTNNETA *CMD TAANETD2 QATTCMD TAANETDC *PGM CLP TAANETDC QATTCL TAANETDC2 *PGM CLP TAANETDC2 QATTCL NETWRKATTR *DTAARA No source The NETWRKATTR data area is the TAASECURE library.
