Decnet plus question.

[Antoniov.]

It's my wrong week :-(

On my new vms server V7.3-2, I installed decnet plus instead old decnet IV; I'm not expert of this software so ...
How can I create a node name in database?
I want to do SET HOST
At moment I have to do SET HOST
After read HP guide, I tryed NCL ADD NODE command but it doesn't exists.

TIA

Welcome to the brave new world of DECnet/Plus and ncl - enjoy :-)

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECNET_REGISTER
then use the option to register a node name.
You will have to enter the full name
(can be .nodename) and the synonym (nodename)
and the DECnet address (probably x.x in NSP DECnet/IV format).

Now I have to learn more about decnet plus.

I tryed to reopen this thread, just for curiosity.
Now, I know it's possible open and close again.
Thank Ian, thank Colin.
At now, I solved and you documentation drive me in right direction.
I guess, I'll post some other question about decnet plus.
