Show Function--Display Connection Data Entries¶

In netutil non-interactive mode, you can use the show function to display connection data entries. The connection information for the specified vnode is displayed on the terminal or written to standard output. The information is displayed in a format similar to the format of control file input lines, for ease of use in programs that edit and re-use the information. The password is not displayed.

This function has the following format:

show type connection vnode network_address protocol listen_address

type

Specifies the type of entry. Valid values are:

global

Indicates that the object is available to all users on the local node.

private

Indicates that the object is available to a single user.

vnode

Identifies the virtual node name associated with this input line. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.

network_address

Identifies the address or name of the remote node. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.

protocol

Specifies the keyword for the protocol used to connect to the remote instance. For a list of protocols and their associated keywords, see Network Protocol Keywords. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.

listen_address

Is the unique identifier used by the remote Communications Server for interprocess communication. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.
