Network Usage
You can use all of the commands across the network.
There are two different ways to use the commands across a network.
The first is to use the /SERVER qualifier every time you enter a command.
The second is to set the XS_SERVER environment variable.
Example A
Using /SERVER qualifier:
C:\>QSHOW /SERVER=SULLIVAN
Queue Name |
Status |
|
Priority Description |
—————- |
—————- |
——– | ———————————- |
HIGH_PRIORITY | Started, Open | 255 | Defined by SETUP program |
LOW_PRIORITY | Started, Open | 0 |
Defined by SETUP program |
QUEUE_1 | Started, Open | 128 | Defined by SETUP program |
Example B
Setting the XS_SERVER environment variable:
C:\> SET XS_SERVER=SULLIVAN
C:\> QSHOW
Connecting to server “SULLIVAN”
Queue Name |
Status |
|
Priority Description |
—————- |
—————- |
——– | ———————————- |
HIGH_PRIORITY | Started, Open | 255 | Defined by SETUP program |
LOW_PRIORITY | Started, Open | 0 |
Defined by SETUP program |
QUEUE_1 | Started, Open | 128 | Defined by SETUP program |
In example B, the /SERVER qualifier was not required for the QSHOW command, because the XS_SERVER environment variable had been set. This method is easier to use than the
/SERVER method — once the environment variable is set all Argent Queue Engine commands will automatically be directed to the correct server.
You also could set the XS_SERVER environment variable with the Windows -> Control Panel -> System, so that it is set automatically when you log on.
