[comp.sys.hp] Help - HP3000 Configuration Tools

jjmen@hpindwa.HP.COM (John Mendonca) (09/19/90)

How do you think we can improve the configuration of our HP3000 datacomm
products (terminals, network services )?  

Do you know of or use any tools (other than NMMGR) which help you with 
the configuration of HP3000 systems; (eg tools for modifying configurations, 
tracking changes, generating reports, etc ...)?  How much time do you spend 
configuring and how many systems do you have?

Please share your ideas with us to help us do the right thing!

Sincerely,

John, I guess that you would not find too many HP3000 users here, most are
9000'rs. You should post your question in the Interex BBS: 408-773-8018 as
most people there are 3000 users.

My 3000 is a LX but not network services so I couldn't help you too much.
I will post your article at CI$, HP forum, Minis section where there are
several 3000 users.

Have you tried the 'HELP' command?  This will tell you about all the commands
and parameters.  The first few menus will give you a list of all commands
under a certain topic.  (Just hit carriage return a few times.)

I think you are right.  The HP3000 is a mini-computer -- not a
mainframe.  We do not market the thing to go head to head with
a full IBM mainframe.  Instead, we set our sights on the smaller
business that uses the thing for accounting systems, payroll,
inventory and boring business purposes.

By "joint accounts", I think you mean more than one user using
the same account.

So you can have BOB.ACCOUNT and FRED.ACCOUNT and depending on
which "Home group" these users have they can share files without
always having to use the "RELEASE" command.  See the NEWUSER,
and ALTUSER command to add or change users.  There is a full
discusion in one of the manuals, but I can't remember which
one off hand.

Good luck.
