Many entities have a status attribute called state, whose value
reflects the current operational state of the entity. The value
of state is usually either:
off The entity is disabled. In this state the entity exists and
can be manipulated in various ways (for example, by having
its characteristics modified), but will not perform its
primary functions.
on The entity is enabled. In this state the entity is fully
operational.
Use the disable command to place the entity in its disabled
(off) state. Many entities do not permit you to modify their
characteristics while they are enabled, so you must use the
disable command before using the add, remove, or set commands.
Also, it is often the case that you cannot delete an entity while
it is enabled, so you must use the disable command before using
the delete command. For example,
ncl> disable modem connect line line-1
disables the entity to suspend its operation temporarily and
suspends operation of the corresponding physical line.

4 – dns
4.1 – clerk
disable [node node-id] dns clerk
This command stops the DECdns clerk on the specified node, causing
all active communication with any DECdns server to be aborted and
all client calls in progress to fail with an error. You can also
enter this command through the dns$control utility. The clerk
cache is copied to disk. When this procedure has completed, the
clerk's State attribute is set to off.
You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS systems)
or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).
NOTE
If you are disabling a clerk on a node where a server is
running, make sure you disable the server first.
The following command halts the DECdns clerk running on node
.mfg.miranda:
disable node .mfg.miranda dns clerk
4.2 – server
disable [node node-id] dns server
Stops the DECdns server on the specified node. The server is
disabled after all transactions in process have completed. When
this procedure is completed, the server's State attribute is set to
off. You can also enter this command through the dns$control utility.
You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS systems)
or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).
The following command halts the DECdns server running on the
.eng.abc node:
disable node .eng.abc dns server
4.2.1 – clearinghouse
disable dns server clearinghouse clearinghouse-name
Disables the specified clearinghouse. HP recommends that you
issue this command locally only. When this procedure is completed,
the State attribute is set to Off. You can also enter this command
through the dns$control utility.
You must have the NET$MANAGE rights identifier (OpenVMS systems)
or superuser privileges (Tru64 Unix systems).
The following command disables the .ny_ch clearinghouse on the
local node:

6 – event_dispatcher

6.1 – outbound_stream
Disables an event dispatcher outbound stream entity which
represents an outgoing connection to a sink on a local or
remote node.
disable [node node-id] event dispatcher -
outbound stream simple-name [method disable-method]
The optional Method argument specifies whether an existing
connection should be aborted immediately or shut down in an
orderly fashion. The disable methods are:
abort The stream calls the disconnect operation to abort
the connection immediately.
orderly The stream calls the shutdown operation to perform an
orderly shutdown of the connection. This is the
default method.
Examples:
disable event dispatcher outbound stream local_stream
disable event dispatcher -
outbound stream local_stream method abort

14 – ncl
14.1 – logging
disable ncl logging
This will discontinue the logging of ncl commands to the NCL log
file. This logging was established earlier in the NCL session
with the "set ncl logfile" and "enable ncl logging" commands. To
determine the name of the log file, use the "show ncl logfile"
command.
For example, on OpenVMS:
NCL>set ncl logfile test
NCL>enable ncl logging
NCL>show all
NCL>disable ncl logging
NCL>show ncl logfile
Logfile name is: test
Logfile is Disabled
The results will be in the file TEST.NCL. That file will contain
the logged NCL command(s), and the output will be commented out.
You may then reissue the command(s) you logged by:
NCL>do test.ncl
14.2 – uid display (Tru64 UNIX)
By default, unique identification (UID) values are not displayed in
NCL output. Use the enable ncl uid display command if you wish to
see this attribute displayed. Use the following command to turn
UID displays back off:
disable ncl uid display
For more information, refer to HELP NCL OUTPUT DISPLAYING_UIDS.
15 – function
disable [node node-id] function function-arg
Example:
disable function address watcher
Disables node entity functions as specified by the function-arg.
Possible function-arg values are:
address Disabling this function causes the state attribute
watcher to be set to off, but the node can still respond to
management through its CMIP interface. The disable
function is only supported on OpenVMS.
CMIP Enabled automatically by the software. This
listener function permits the node to respond to management
through its CMIP listener interface. The CMIP
listener function is only supported on OSF/1.

name which uniquely identifies a particular SAP
instance.
Example:
disable xot sap sap-0

disable [node node-id] xot sap sap-name link link-name
Disables XOT communications with a particular remote system
identified by the LINK's remote IP addres and remote RFC1613
port number. The sap-name and link-name are simple names
which uniquely identify particular SAP and LINK instances.
