Selected NetWare Utilites Reference March 1994 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Introduction The NetWare Client for OS/2 v2.1 includes several NetWare utility programs that facilitate access to a NetWare network. To make it easier for you to work with these specific utilities, we have included the documentation here. The utility programs included are: CX LOGIN MAP NLIST NWTOOLS Printing from Your OS/2 Workstation (including NPRINTER) ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. CX ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ CX Purpose Γûá Use at a workstation to view or change your current context (where you are in the Directory tree). Γûá Use to view containers and leaf objects. Syntax CX [new context | /VER] [/R] [/T | /CONT | /A] [/C] [/?] Parameter Use this parameter to no parameter View the current context. new context Move to a new location in the Directory tree or to specify the context you want for an option. /VER View the version number of the utility and the list of files it uses to execute. /R List containers at the root level, or to change context from the root. /T List containers below the current context or below a specified context. /CONT List containers at the current context or in a specified context. /A Include all objects at or below the context. Use with /T or /CONT. /C Scroll continuously through output. /? View online help. Using CX Γûá CX is similar to the DIR command in that CX allows you to view all objects below a given container. Γûá CX doesn't recognize spaces in object names. If you have spaces in container names, put double quotes around the names. For example, for container CORPORATE ADMIN, type "Corporate Admin" or replace the space with an underscore (_). Examples Set a new context from the root One of the following: Place a period in front of the new context you type. Enter the proper number of trailing periods to reach the root level. Use the /R option. Display the current context CX Back up one level in the Directory tree CX . Go down two levels from PROVO.NOVELL to make your context SYSTEM.ENGINEERING.PROVO.NOVELL CX SYSTEM.ENGINEERING Change your current context from TESTING.PROVO.NOVELL.US to SYSTEM.MARKETING.PROVO.NOVELL.US CX .SYSTEM.MARKETING.PROVO.NOVELL.US or CX . <Enter> CX SYSTEM Change to the root when your context is TESTING.PROVO.NOVELL CX . . . or CX /R Change the complete context from TESTING.PROVO.NOVELL to TESTING.PARIS.NOVELL CX .TESTING.PARIS.NOVELL Show all containers in the current context CX /CONT Additional Information For information about: Context, see "Context" in Concepts Root object, see "Root object" in Concepts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. LOGIN ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ LOGIN Purpose Use at a workstation to access the network, to log in to a server, or to run a login script. Syntax LOGIN [/VER] [server/ | tree/][user] [/option...] LOGIN Parameter Use this parameter to server | tree Specify server or tree you want to log in to. user Specify the username you want to log in with. /VER View the version number of the utility and the files it uses to execute. option Specify a LOGIN option. Login options LOGIN option Use this option to /NS Prevent a login script from running and prevent you from being logged out of other servers you are logged in to. /S path | object name Specify a login script file. Replace path with the path to the script or object name with the object whose script you want to run. /B Specify a bindery login. /PR=profile object name Specify the profile object script you want to run. /SWAP Run external commands from the login script. /TREE Specify that you want to log in to a tree. /? View online help. Using LOGIN Γûá To use another object's login script, you need the Read property right to the Login Script property of that object. This login script replaces the profile script (if one is specified). Γûá To set your context before you log in, use CX or set your context in the NET.CFG file using the following statement: Name Context = "complete name" For OS/2 do not use the equals sign or quotation marks. Examples Log in to server MOUSE as user RICKY without logging out of other servers you are logged in to LOGIN MOUSE/RICKY /NS Log in to tree TERMINAL as user RICK LOGIN TERMINAL/RICK/TREE Log in to the Directory tree as user SAM LOGIN SAM Log in as user SAM and specify a profile object to use as a login script to run LOGIN SAM /PR=WPGROUP.NOVELL Additional Information For information about See Profile scripts "Three Types of Login scripts" in Chapter 3 of Supervising the Network Login scripts "Login scripts" in Concepts and "About Login Scripts" in Chapter 3 of Supervising the Network Creating a NET.CFG file "Configuring Your Workstation" in Chapter 2 of NetWare Workstation for DOS and Windows NET.CFG options "NET.CFG Options" in Appendix B of NetWare Workstation for DOS and Windows ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. MAP ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ MAP Purpose Use at a workstation to Γûá View drive mappings. Γûá Create or change network or search drive mappings. Γûá Map a drive to a fake root directory (for applications that must use a root directory). Syntax MAP [P | NP] [option...] drive:= [drive:| path] Parameter Use this parameter to no parameter View drive mappings drive Specify the drive you want to change. path Specify the path you want to map a driver to. To map to a physical volume on a server that is not your default server, specify the entire path (including server, volume, and directory name). For example, MACBETH/SYS:ACCOUNTS\PAY (server/volume:directory\subdirectory) /VER View the version number of the utility and the files it uses to execute. P Map to a physical volume. Must be listed first or second. NP Overwrite local or search drives without being prompted. Must be listed first or second. C Change a drive mapping to a new one. DEL Delete a drive mapping. INS Insert a search drive mapping without replacing an existing mapping. N Map the next available drive to the specified path. ROOT Map a drive to a fake root directory for applications that require rights in a root directory. /? View online help. Using MAP Γûá If you don't include drive mappings in your login script, they will not exist if you log out or turn off your workstation. (See Chapter 3, "Creating Login Scripts and Menus" of Supervising the Network). Γûá You can have up to 26 mappings, including local drives. Γûá Search drive mappings begin with the letter Z and continue backward through the alphabet. You can have up to 16 search drives. Γûá To map a search drive, use S and a number. (See the following examples.) Γûá If you don't want to overwrite existing search drives, use the "Insert" option or "S16:=". Γûá To map to the next available search drive, use "S16:=". Examples View mappings MAP Map drive G: to SYS:\HOME\JAN MAP G:=SYS:\HOME\JAN Extend the mapping for drive G: above to SYS:\HOME\JAN\PROJECTS MAP G:=PROJECTS Map search drive 4 to PRUFROCK\SYS:APP MAP S4:=PRUFROCK\SYS:APP Delete the mapping for drive G: MAP DEL G: Map drive F: to HOME\TERRY as a fake root MAP ROOT F:=HOME\TERRY Map the last possible search drive to WIZARD/SYS:PUBLIC MAP S16:=WIZARD/SYS:PUBLIC Map the next available drive to BRUTUS/SYS:ACCT\OLD MAP N BRUTUS/SYS:ACCT\OLD Insert COUNT/SYS:PUBLIC as a new search drive MAP INS S4:=COUNT/SYS:PUBLIC Map to PUBLIC\RPTS under Volume object SYS.ACCOUNTING.ACME.US from the root Map H:=.SYS.ACCOUNTING.ACME.US:PUBLIC\RPTS Additional Information For information about See Fake roots "Fake root" in Concepts Search drive mappings "Drive mapping" and "Search drive" in Concepts Login scripts "Login scripts" in Concepts, and "About Login Scripts" in Chapter 3 of Supervising the Network ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.

Printing from Your Workstation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Printing from Your Workstation Understanding Network Printing Network printing allows all users on the network to share printers. NetWare uses a print queue, a print server, and a printer driver to allow several network workstations to print to a network printer. A network printer can be connected either directly to a server or to a client workstation, depending on the configuration of the printer and the network. Network printing requires some initial setup before the network recognizes print files sent from your workstation. Prerequisites ΓêÜ Make sure you are connected to the network and have access to network printing resources. ΓêÜ Make sure the NetWare Tools icon is in your Novell folder on the desktop. Setting Up Printing for OS/2 Setting up workstation printing in OS/2 is done within NetWare Tools for OS/2. Procedure: 1. From your desktop, choose the Novell Icon. 2. From "Novell - Icon View", choose the "NetWare Tools" icon. 3. Choose the "Tools" menu. 4. Choose "Printer Ports." A "Printers" window appears and a "Printers" option appears in the menu bar. 5. Choose a port by double-clicking on the port name. Or select a port and choose "Printers" from the upper menu bar, then choose "Capture." A "Capture" window appears. 6. In the "Printers/Queue" list, highlight a print queue name, and choose "Capture". NoteIf the print queue you want to capture does not appear in the "Printers/Queue" list, check to see if you are first attached to the server containing this resource. Choose "Server" from the "Tools" option to see connected servers. To maintain your connections, use "Save Settings" from the "Network" menu. For more information about this tool, choose "Help." Loading NPRINTER.EXE Every network printer requires a network printer driver to pass a print job from the network to the printer. The type of driver depends on how the printer is attached to the network. Network-attached printers store their own printer driver. Workstatation attached printers need NPRINTER.EXE loaded on the workstation. Prerequisites Important When defining a printer, be sure to set up the printer as "remote-other" rather than "parallel." ΓêÜ NetWare 4 server. ΓêÜ Print server, print queue, and printer that have been created and assigned using one of the following: ΓêÜ NetWare Administrator ΓêÜ PCONSOLE.EXE ΓêÜ Printer set up as "remote-other" rather than "parallel." ΓêÜ Print server (PSERVER.NLM) loaded on the NetWare 4 server. ΓêÜ Printer cabled to one of the following: Γûá a network workstation running OS/2 Γûá directly to the network Γûá to a NetWare server. ΓêÜ Make sure each printer functions properly in its current environment. If a printer does not function properly in its current environment (non-network or otherwise), it will not work with NetWare print services. Procedure: 1. Choose the Novell icon from your desktop. The "Novell-Icon View" window appears. 2. Choose the "Network Printer" icon from the Novell-Icon View window. The "NPRINTER" windows appears. If the printer you want to load is already configured, go to Step 4. 3. Configure printer(s). 3a. Choose "Load" from the "Printers" menu. The "Load Printers" window appears. 3b. Choose "Define" from the "Load Printers" window. The "Define Printers" window appears. A list of printers defined on this workstation displays. 3c. Choose the "Add" button to define a printer for NPRINTER to load on this workstation. The "Add/Edit Printer" window appears. 3d. Type a printer name in the "Description" field. 3e. Double-click a print server from the list. A list of printers now appears in the dialog. These printers were created using NetWare Administrator or PCONSOLE. 3f. Choose a printer by highlighting the name. This specifies the printer for NPRINTER to load. 3g. (Optional) Mark "Load on startup" if you want the NetWare server to attach to this printer when NPRINTER is loaded. 3h. Choose the arrow box to the right of the "Default OS/2 Print Queue" and choose an OS/2 print queue. OS/2 print queues are created when you create printers as documented in your OS/2 manual. NPRINTER requires that an OS/2 print queue exist on the workstation. 3i. Choose "OK". The printer now appears in the "Define Printers" window with any other printers defined on this workstation. 3j. (Optional) Repeat Steps 3a through 3i for each additional printer NPRINTER will load on this workstation. You can define as many printers as you want, but NPRINTER can only run seven concurrently. 3k. Choose "Exit" to close the "Define Printers" window. 4. Choose "Load" from the "Printers" menu. The "Load Printers" window appears. Important If the "Load" option is greyed so that you cannot select it, or if the printer you want is not listed, you must configure a printer. 5. Double-click a printer or highlight a printer and choose "Load". NPRINTER makes an attachment from the workstation to the netware server. Important You can unload any or all printer drivers by choosing "Unload" from the "Printers" menu. Highlight the printers you want to unload and choose "Unload", or unload them all by choosing `Unload All." Automating the Loading of NPRINTER Procedure: 1. From the OS/2 desktop, open the "OS/2 System" folder. The "OS/2 System - Icon View" window appears. 2. From the "Os/2 System - Icon View" window, open the "Startup" folder. 3. From the OS/2 desktop, open the "Novell" folder. The "Novell - Icon View" window appears. 4. From the "Novell - Icon View" folder, copy or move the "Network Printer" icon to the "Startup" folder. Now when OS/2 is booted, NPRINTER will autoload. Capturing Printer Ports NPRINTER cannot capture ports it is already connected to. If the port that the network printer is connected to is captured and a print job is sent to that port, the print jpb is put in an infinite loop between the NetWare print queue and the OS/2 workstation. The print job continues to appear and disappear from the NetWare print queue; however, it is never printed. For example, if the network printer is physically connected to the LPT1 port on the OS/2 workstation, do not CAPTURE the LPT1 port or the print job will be put in an infinate loop between the LPT1 port and your workstation. You should capture LPT2 and LPT3 instead of LPT1 in this case. Starting NPRINTER Minimized NPRINTER for OS/2 cannot be started minimized.
