OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual

The SCS class record contains data describing SCS (System Communications Services) activity for all SCS connections in the system, on a per-node basis. The SCS class record has a record type of 15; its size depends on the number of nodes being monitored. The size, in bytes, is calculated by adding the size of the class header, the class prefix, and the data blocks contained in the record. This is shown in the following formula:

13 + 8 + (56 * the value of MNR_CMP$L_ELTCT)

Figure H-21 illustrates the format of the SCS class record.

SHOW CLUSTER provides a predefined keypad that you can use to enter selected commands. You can add, remove, or reposition windows, scroll their contents, or change the interval at which the display is updated. You can also customize the keypad by redefining the default functions of individual keys.

I.1 Using the Keypad

By default, the numeric keypad is defined as shown in Figure I-1.

Figure I-1 SHOW CLUSTER Default Keypad

Shading over a keypad command indicates that you must press the GOLD key and then the keypad key.

The following table describes each keypad command you can use with the Show Cluster utility. In this table, KPn refers to the keypad key labeled with the number n. For example, KP2 refers to the keypad key labeled with the number 2. All commands shown on the keypad are also discussed in the Command Section of Chapter 18.

Command	Key or Key Sequence	Description
ADD	KP4	Modifies the current display by including the field or class that you specify after the ADD command.
DESELECT	GOLD-Period	Terminates a window selection.
GOLD	PF1	When pressed before another keypad key, specifies the second key's alternate function (the bottom function on the keypad diagram).
HELP	PF2	Displays information about using the editing keypad.
INIT	PF4	Resets the display using the original default values for field names, class names, and field widths.
REFRESH	PF3	Refreshes the screen display. Clears and redraws the screen, deleting any extraneous characters or messages that might have appeared on the screen but are not part of the SHOW CLUSTER display. (Performs the same function as Ctrl/W.)
REMOVE	KP5	Modifies the current display by removing the field or class that you specify after the REMOVE command.
SAVE	KP2	Allows you to save the current display to a startup initialization file or a command procedure that you can then use to restore the display at a later time.
SELECT	Period	Designates which window to scroll or move.
SET	KP1	Changes any of several options including the number of columns in the display, the number of seconds between updates, the functions of the arrow keys, the auto positioning of windows, and the characteristics of a particular field.
SET AUTO_POS OFF	KP6	Disables the automatic positioning of windows on the screen.
SET AUTO_POS ON	GOLD-KP6	Enables the Show Cluster utility to automatically position windows on the screen. This is the default setting.
SET FUNCTION EDIT	Hyphen	Redefines the arrow keys to restore line-mode editing.
SET FUNCTION MOVE	KP9	Redefines the arrow keys to move a selected window to a specified position on the display screen. For example, the UP, DOWN, RIGHT, and LEFT arrow keys are redefined as MOVE UP 1, MOVE DOWN 1, MOVE RIGHT 1, and MOVE LEFT 1, respectively.
SET FUNCTION PAN	KP7	Redefines the arrow keys to rotate the display. For example, the UP, DOWN, RIGHT, and LEFT arrow keys are redefined as PAN UP 1, PAN DOWN 1, PAN RIGHT 1, and PAN LEFT 1, respectively.
SET FUNCTION SCROLL	KP8	Resets the arrow keys to scroll the screen display. For example, if you press the SET FUNCTION SCROLL key, the UP, DOWN, RIGHT, and LEFT arrow keys are redefined as SCROLL UP 1, SCROLL DOWN 1, SCROLL RIGHT 1, and SCROLL LEFT 1, respectively.
WRITE	KP3	Outputs the current display to either a file name that you specify, or to the default output file name SHOW_CLUSTER.LIS.

I.2 Redefining the Keypad Keys

Use the DEFINE/KEY command to change the definition of a key. See the DEFINE/KEY command in the Command Section of Chapter 18 for more information.

I.3 Redefining the Arrow Keys

By default, the SHOW CLUSTER arrow keys are set to the EDIT function. This means that you can perform command line editing at the command prompt that is similar to DCL line-mode editing. For example, the left arrow key moves the cursor to the left, or the up arrow key recalls the previous command. See the OpenVMS User's Manual for information about DCL line-mode editing.

The SET FUNCTION keys, shown in the second row of the keypad, redefine the arrow keys to perform a specified function. You can reset the arrow keys from EDIT to PAN, SCROLL, or MOVE with the SET FUNCTION command. For example, if you press the SET FUNCTION SCROLL key, the up, down, right, and left arrow keys are redefined as SCROLL UP 1, SCROLL DOWN 1, SCROLL RIGHT 1, and SCROLL LEFT 1, respectively. (See the Command Section of Chapter 18 for information about specific commands.)
