Hi Guys,
Is there a way to alter a namelist in order to add a name to the list without erasing the one currently on the list?
When I do "alter namelist(testnl) names(name3)" it erases the previous entries which where "name1" and "name2".
I know that I could display the current names and then do an alter with the current names and adding the new one. But this would work for a manual process. I would like to automate the process using scripts that's why I am looking for a way to add a name or delete one, without affecting the current names in the list.
Thanks. |

AFAIK no - the alter command alters the namelist to the values given in the alter command.

alter namelist(testnl) names(name1,nae2,name3)
should work. You should include both existing and new cluster names in names attribute. |

Nothing in the original post intimates that the namelist is for cluster-related purposes - don't assume, don't read more into a post than is there because it can taint your advice with mis/preconceptions

Actually its a list of Queues.
I know that by doing an alter with the current names and the new one I will accomplish what I want... but it becomes more difficult to script it then just having a way to add or delete entries in the namelist.
Thanks. |
