For NonStop systems without the OSS environment, the FTPHINTS macro provides graphical file navigation capability. OutsideView FTP provides graphical file navigation, in both OSS and Guardian, within NonStop systems with the OSS environment. NOTE: OVFSCAN requires a Tandem NonStop Kernel environment of D20 or later. Thereafter, when users connect to the host and attempt IXF file transfers, OutsideView uses OVFSCAN to enable graphical host navigation for both upload and download purposes, as shown below:

Make sure you are in the system area, and then type the command: FUP ALTER OVFSCAN, CODE 100. Once uploaded, you must enable OVFSCAN as an executable file.The utility is uploaded to the specified system area. (For example, if your host uses the default system area, the Target Directory field should show “$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.”) If you are not already in the system area, enter the host system directory into the Host Target Directory field. The file name automatically appears in the Host File name field. In the Local files list, browse to the appropriate directory (e.g., CD’s Util directory) and highlight OVFSCAN. Select Session, Send File from the menu to see the IXF Send dialog.You must be logged in with appropriate privileges (such as super.super) and at the TACL prompt. Run OutsideView and establish a session to the desired host.Once you have installed OutsideView, the procedure for uploading the OVFSCAN utility to your Tandem host and enabling it for execution is: The host scanning utility OVFSCAN is found in the UTIL directory on the CD.

OutsideView uses the information supplied by the host scanning utility for navigating hosts, host volumes, sub-volumes, and displaying available files. This utility, once installed to the NonStop host, runs each time the IXF transfer facility is invoked, and provides a dynamic graphical view of the volume and file structures, even for multiple NonStop systems visible across the Expand network. Note: This information is our System Administrator’s Guide (Start, Programs, OutsideView, System Administrator’s Guide, topic is “Configuring OutsideView, enabling Graphical File Transfer support”) IXF Host Scanning Utility It seems a number of our users are unaware that Host files can be viewed and selected graphically when doing an IXF or FTP file transfer.
