Create a text report from previously collected configuration information.
The information must have been gathered using the COLLECT command.
REPORT output-text-file-name
[DATA = input-data-file-name] -
[TYPES = { ALL | (node-type-list)}] -
[ROUTING_TYPE = { ALL | ROUTERS | L1_ROUTERS | L2_ROUTERS }] -
[AREAS = { ALL | LOCAL | NODE:node-name }] -
[INFORMATION = { ALL | BASIC | (info-list) }] -
[FORMAT = { FULL | BRIEF }]
Multiple REPORT commands may be issued against the same collected data.
Example: REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS
1 – DATA
This optional parameter allows you to specify a particular collection data file to use when generating the report. If not specified, the collection file is assumed to have the same name as the output text file, with the extension changed to "DAT". Example: REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS DATA=ARCHIVE_01_23_90.DAT
2 – TYPES
This optional parameter allows you to specify the types of nodes to
report information on.
TYPES = ALL All DECnet node types
TYPES = OSI Only DECnet-Plus nodes
TYPES = PHASE_IV Only DECnet Phase IV nodes
TYPES = PHASE_III Only DECnet Phase III nodes
More than one type may be specified by placing the types in parentheses
and separating them by commas.
If this parameter is not specified, the default is "ALL".
Example: REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS TYPE=OSI
REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS TYPES=(PHASE_IV,PHASE_III)
3 – ROUTING_TYPE
This optional parameter allows you to specify the routing types of the
nodes on which to to report information.
ROUTING_TYPE = ALL Routers and end systems
ROUTING_TYPE = ROUTERS Only Level 1 and Level 2 routers
ROUTING_TYPE = L1_ROUTERS Only Level 1 routers
ROUTING_TYPE = L2_ROUTERS Only Level 2 routers
If a routing type is specified for which information was not collected,
the report will not contain information on that routing type.
If this parameter is not specified, the default is "ALL".
Example: REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS ROUTING_TYPE=L2
4 – AREAS
This optional parameter allows you to specify the network area on which
to report information.
AREAS = ALL All areas
AREAS = LOCAL The management node's area
AREAS = NODE:node-name The area containing the specified node
If the NODE option is used, the full name or the Phase IV synonym for
the node must be supplied. If this parameter is not specified, the
default is "ALL".
Example: REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS AREA=LOCAL
REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS AREA=NODE:.Paris.Hub_Node
5 – INFORMATION
This optional parameter allows you to specify which information to report.
The information that may be reported is:
INFORMATION = ALL Basic, adjacency, circuit, routing,
application, and area information
INFORMATION = BASIC Name, address, phase, routing type, and
node id string information
INFORMATION = ADJACENCIES Basic plus adjacency information
INFORMATION = CIRCUITS Basic plus circuit id and circuit cost
information
INFORMATION = ROUTING Basic plus routing information (maximum
hops, maximum cost, and network buffer
size)
INFORMATION = APPLICATIONS Basic plus application information (the
word OBJECTS may be used in place of
APPLICATIONS)
INFORMATION = AREAS Basic plus area information, indicating
what other areas are known by the
level 2 routers in the current area.
If more than one information type is specified, they must be placed in
parentheses and separated by commas.
If this parameter is not specified, the default will be "BASIC".
Example: REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS INFO=ROUTING
REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS INFO=(ADJACENCIES, CIRCUITS)
6 – FORMAT
This optional parameter allows you to specify the output file format.
Formats are:
FORMAT = FULL Multiple lines per node.
FORMAT = BRIEF One line per node, with information in columns.
The BRIEF format may be used only when reporting BASIC information. If
any other information is being reported, the FULL format must be used.
If this parameter is not specified, the default is "FULL".
Example: REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS FORMAT=BRIEF
REPORT CONFIG_01_23_90.LIS FORMAT=FULL
