[HECnet] Network nodename database procedure available

I should just point out that the location is actually MIM::US:[DECNET]NETUPDATE.COM however, US:[DECNET] is the default device and directory for anonymous access to MIM:: anyway, so you can skip those parts. :-) Johnny Steve Davidson wrote: I have written a quick (and dirty) little procedure to update the network database on VMS platforms. This procedure (a batch job), will acquire the latest database from MIM:: on a weekly basis. The procedure is located at MIM::[DECNET]NETUPDATE.COM (thanks Johnny). I will update it from time-to-time as necessary and re-post that fact here. I would store this procedure in a "common" place (ie SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]) or if you have it, a dedicated area that you already store command/batch job procedures (files). Pick a time and then run it as a normal command procedure. It is self-submitting so it will happily re-submit as part of the procedure. The procedure makes two assumptions: First that the batch queue you will be using is SYS$BATCH, and second that you want the update to occur on a weekly basis. You are of course free to change either. As always, please review any file that is submitted before committing to execute it, and if you have questions just ask. Regards, -Steve
