This command displays intrusion record information for nodes FROGGY and KITTY.

#5

$ SHOW INTRUSION/NODE=EVMSA
$
      

This command shows that there are no intrusion records for node EVMSA.


SHOW KEY

Displays the key definitions created with the DEFINE/KEY command.

Format

SHOW KEY [key-name]


Parameter

key-name

Specifies the name of the key whose definition you want displayed. For a list of valid key names, see the DEFINE/KEY command.

Description

After you have defined keypad keys by using the DEFINE/KEY command, you can use the SHOW KEY command to refresh your memory about a key definition. You can also use the SHOW KEY command with the /DIRECTORY qualifier to list the names of all the states in which you have created key definitions. Use the SET KEY command to change key states.

Qualifiers

/ALL

Displays all key definitions in the current state (or the state specified with the /STATE qualifier). If you use the /ALL qualifier, do not specify a key name.

/BRIEF (default)

/NOBRIEF

Displays only the key definition and state. The /BRIEF and /NOFULL qualifiers are equivalent.

/DIRECTORY

Displays the names of all states for which keys have been defined. If you have not specified a state with a key definition, the SHOW KEY/DIRECTORY command displays DEFAULT for the state.

You cannot use the /DIRECTORY qualifier with any of the other SHOW KEY qualifiers.

/FULL

/NOFULL (default)

Displays all qualifiers associated with a definition. By default, only the state of the definition and the definition itself are displayed. The /FULL and /NOBRIEF qualifiers are equivalent.

/STATE=(state-name[,...])

/NOSTATE

Displays the key definitions for the specified state. If you specify only one state name, you can omit the parentheses. State names can be any appropriate alphanumeric string. State names are created with the DEFINE/KEY command.

If you omit the /STATE qualifier or use the /NOSTATE qualifier, key definitions in the current state are displayed.


Example


$ DEFINE/KEY/TERMINATE PF1 "ATTACH BOB"
%DCL-I-DEFKEY, DEFAULT key PF1 has been defined
$ SHOW KEY PF1
DEFAULT keypad definitions:
  PF1 = "ATTACH BOB"
$ SHOW KEY/FULL PF1
DEFAULT keypad definitions:
  PF1 = "ATTACH BOB"  (noecho,terminate,noerase,nolock)
      

The SHOW KEY command in this example displays both the definition and the state for the PF1 key. This is the default display. The SHOW KEY/FULL command displays all qualifiers associated with the key definition.


SHOW LICENSE

Displays software product licenses active on the current node and lists the names attached to a license (known as the RESERVE list). The SHOW LICENSE command displays the license database information currently in your system's memory. Use the License Management utility command, LICENSE LIST, when you want to view the license database information that is on disk.

Format

SHOW LICENSE [product-name [,...]]


Parameter

product-name

Specifies the name or names of activated software product licenses to display. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed. If you do not specify a product name, information is displayed about all active product name licenses. The product-name parameter is incompatible with the /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier.

Description

The DCL command SHOW LICENSE displays software product licenses active on the current node. An active license is one that has been registered in the LICENSE database and has been loaded into system memory. To register and activate software product licenses, use the License Management utility (LICENSE) or VMSLICENSE.COM. Some licenses are registered automatically during product installation.

For a complete description of this utility, refer to the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.

To display licenses registered in the LICENSE database, use the LICENSE LIST command, described with the utility.


Qualifiers

/BEFORE

Use with /TERMINATION_DATE and /RELEASE_DATE qualifiers. Selects only those licenses whose times are before the time specified with the other qualifiers.

The /BEFORE qualifier cannot be used with the /SINCE qualifier.

/BRIEF (default)

Displays a summary of information about the specified active product licenses. Use the /FULL qualifier to obtain a complete product license listing.

/CHARGE_TABLE

Synonym for the /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier.

/CLUSTER

Use with the /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier to display the license unit requirements for every node in an OpenVMS Cluster.

/EXACT

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a search string that must match the search string exactly and must be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").

If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search string with the Find (E1) key.

/FULL

Displays a summary of information about the specified active product licenses, including Product Authorization Key (PAK) options and the reserve list (if any).

/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD is the default highlighting.

/OUTPUT[=filespec]

/NOOUTPUT

Controls where the output of the SHOW LICENSE command is sent. By default, the output of the SHOW LICENSE command is sent to the current SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file specification.

The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are not allowed in the file specification. If you enter a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.

If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.

/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)

Controls the display of license information on the screen.

You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:

CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[= n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n is the number of pages to store.

The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the information:

Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Return, Enter, Space Get the next page of information.
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.

The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.

/PRODUCER=producer-name

Displays software product licenses active on the current node and supplied by the specified producer. The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters are allowed for the producer-name parameter. You cannot use the /PRODUCER qualifier with the /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier.

/RELEASE_DATE=[date_time]

Allows listing licenses using release dates as selection criteria.

/SEARCH="string"

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in the text string.

You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation marks are not required for a dynamic search.

/SINCE(default)

Use with the /TERMINATION_DATE and /RELEASE_DATE qualifiers. Selects only those licenses whose times are on or after the time specified with the other qualifiers.

The /SINCE qualifier cannot be used with the /BEFORE qualifier.

/TERMINATION_DATE=date_time

Allows listing licenses using termination dates as selection criteria.

/UNIT_REQUIREMENTS

Displays information in the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT). The /UNIT_REQUIREMENTS qualifier is incompatible with the product-name parameter and with the /BRIEF and /PRODUCER qualifiers.

/USAGE

Tells you how many license units are loaded, how many are currently allocated, and how many are currently available, as well as the license type for each product on the system. Use with the /FULL qualifier to display complete information---including the PID, process name, node, or user name---for each instance of use of the product. You need group privilege to see the list of users in your group who have allocated license units; you need world privilege to see the list of users in all groups.

In an OpenVMS Cluster, if you own multiple license types for a single product, you are limited to viewing the usage information for the license type loaded on the node from which you are executing the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command. To find out the usage of the other license type loaded on another node, issue the command on that node. You can also use the System Management (SYSMAN) utility to do this.

In an OpenVMS Cluster, usage information is limited to the local license type. For example, VAX and Alpha availability licenses are considered by LMF to be different license types. If you are running both VAX and Alpha systems in a cluster, usage information for availability licenses is limited to the local system type. For example, if you have DEC C installed on all nodes in your OpenVMS Cluster, you can display DEC C license allocation on all the VAX nodes in the cluster from any VAX node with DEC C installed, but you cannot display the DEC C license allocation on the Alpha nodes.

Usage information is not available for unlimited licenses (a license with 0 units). Clusterwide usage information is not available for personal use or NO_SHARE licenses. Refer to the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual for more information on license types.

/WARNING_INTERVAL=n

NOWARNING_INTERVAL

Displays a warning stating the number of licenses that will terminate in n days. The default is 30 days.

/WRAP

/NOWRAP (default)

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond the width of the screen to the next line.

The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.

Units loaded: 2000    Units allocated: 600    Units available: 1400


      

The SHOW LICENSE command in this example lists the current users of the activity license for the product DECwrite. For each instance of use of the product, the process identification (PID), process name, node, and user name are identified. The units column shows the number of units allocated for each particular invocation of the product. The last line displays the units loaded when the LICENSE LOAD command was given, the total number of units currently allocated, and the total of unused (available for others to use) units.

#9

$ SHOW LICENSE/USAGE/FULL TEST_PER
View of loaded licenses from node: SLTG24  30-DEC-2001 15:45:59

PERSONAL USE license DEC TEST_PER usage information:
Units   Reserved for:
  100   UNCLE
  100   AUNT
  100   NEPHEW
  100   NIECE
Units loaded: 600    Units reserved: 400    Units available: 200

      

This example shows a personal use license. The DEC TEST_PER product has enough units for six reservations with 100 units for each reservation. The license database (LDB) only has a total of four names in the reserve list attached to this product. If the license administrator (usually the system manager) wants to take full advantage of this license and adds 2 more names to the reserve list, he should use the following commands to update the product information:


$ LICENSE MODIFY TEST_PER/RESERVE=(NAME, ANOTHER_NAME)/ADD
$ LICENSE UNLOAD TEST_PER
$ LICENSE LOAD TEST_PER

If this product is used in a cluster environment, you may use the SYSMAN utility to unload and load the license.

#10

$ SHOW LICENSE/USAGE/FULL TEST_CAP
View of loaded licenses from node: SLTG24  30-DEC-2001 15:45:59

Availability license DEC TEST_CAP usage information:
Units   Node
   10   SLTG24
   10   SLTG43
  600   TORN8O
  600   LTNUP
Units loaded: 620    Units allocated: 1220    Units available: ***

      

In this example, the number of units allocated appears to be greater than the total units loaded and the units available value is three asterisks (***).

When you see three asterisks (***) as the number of units available, it is generally not a cause for alarm. This situation might arise when the license database (LDB) has been updated on disk, but the new information has not been propagated to the license database in memory on all nodes in the cluster. This node, SLTG24, happens to be one of the nodes that has not received the latest LDB information.

To update the information in the license database in memory for the TEST_CAP product, enter the following commands:


$ LICENSE UNLOAD TEST_CAP
$ LICENSE LOAD TEST_CAP

The next time you issue the SHOW LICENSE/USAGE command the three asterisks (***) in display should disappear. If, however, you are using multiple LDB files in a cluster, you should read the section on the license database in the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.

#11

Type: H, * Not Permitted *       (Alpha Layered Products)
Type: I, Units Required: 2430    (Layered Products)

      

In this example, the display shows how many license units are required for each license type (A, B, etc.) on each node in the cluster. If a row of three asterisks (***) is displayed for a node, it means that the node is in the process of booting.
