UNIX command-line options for the transient event list

When you run the nco_elct command to start the transient event list on UNIX, you must specify a number of command-line options to customize the event list. You can run this command from the $NCHOME/omnibus/bin directory.

The following table describes the command-line options for starting the transient event list on UNIX.

Table 1. UNIX transient event list (nco_elct) command-line options
Command-line option Description
-cmap Specifies a private color map. You cannot abbreviate this command-line option.
-diagnostic Displays extended diagnostic messages.
-dualwrite 1 | 0 Indicates whether to enable or disable dual-write mode when operating in a desktop ObjectServer architecture. Valid options are as follows:
  • 0: Disable dual-write mode
  • 1: Enable dual-write mode

The -dualwrite command-line option overrides the DualWrite field entry in the master.national table of the desktop ObjectServer.

-ffile string | URL Specifies the filter file to use for the transient event list. Event list filters have a .elf extension.
Note: You can also retrieve remote .elf files by using HTTP and FTP. You do this by specifying the -config command-line option when running the nco_event command to start a UNIX event list.
-fmetric string Specifies a filter metric for the transient event list. This setting is ignored if you have specified an existing event list filter file by using the -ffile command-line option.
-fname string Specifies a name for the filter. This setting is ignored if you have specified an existing event list filter file by using the -ffile command-line option.
-ftext string Specifies the SQL statement to use for filtering events. This setting is ignored if you have specified an existing event list filter file by using the -ffile command-line option.
-help Displays help for this command and exits.
-masterserver string Indicates the master ObjectServer to use in a desktop ObjectServer architecture.

The -masterserver command-line option overrides the MasterServer field entry in the master.national table of the desktop ObjectServer.

-networktimeout integer Specifies a time in seconds after which a login attempt or connection to the ObjectServer will time out, if a network failure occurs. After the specified timeout period, the event list attempts to reconnect to the ObjectServer. If the connection is unsuccessful after a second timeout period, the event list will attempt to connect to a backup ObjectServer, where available. The default is 20 seconds.
-password string Specifies the password for the selected user name. The nco_elct utility only accepts alphanumeric characters in the password. Special characters such as #, /, >, @, and ! are not permitted in the password.
-server string Specifies the name of the ObjectServer to which you are connecting.
-username string Specifies the user name to use to log in to the event list.
-version Displays version information and exits.
-vfile string | URL Opens a transient event list by using a specified event list view. Event list views have a .elv file extension.
Note: You can also retrieve remote .elv files by using HTTP and FTP. You do this by specifying the -config command-line option when running the nco_event command to start a UNIX event list.
Tip: You can abbreviate the command-line options for the transient event list to their shortest unique abbreviation. For example, -ffile can be abbreviated to -ff.
