I am using Robot/NETWORK to centralize the management of the partitions of a single partitioned system. Can I implement this configuration using a virtual LAN?
Yes, this configuration is ideally suited to using the virtual LAN. With a virtual LAN, you don’t need additional hardware and it’s faster.

If you plan to connect this system to other systems (multiple physical systems) using Robot/NETWORK, you must use Ethernet connections throughout. You can’t use a combination of virtual LAN and Ethernet.

When we did a restricted state backup over the weekend, we put Robot/ALERT on hold. When the system was restarted, Robot/ALERT moved from HELD to INACTIVE and stayed there. As a result, we missed a pager message. How can we prevent this from happening again?
When you execute a restricted state backup, we recommend that you end all the Robot products by executing the RSLSHUTDWN command. This command puts Robot/ALERT on hold, ends all active Robot products, and ends the RBTSLEEPER subsystem. After the restricted state ends, restart the RBTSLEEPER subsystem. Robot/ALERT releases itself and becomes ACTIVE automatically.

To be sure that Robot/ALERT has returned to ACTIVE status, incorporate the RBASNDMSG command in your start up program. This pager message will inform you that the restricted state backup has completed and Robot/ALERT is active.

I use the SEQUEL Web Interface (SWI). I want to format the HTML results so they look like my company’s Web site. How would I go about this?
Depending on your knowledge of HTML, you can format the output of the results pages almost any way you want. The SWI library contains two default source members, HEADER and FOOTER, that control the results page layout. The default HEADER member contains a company logo and other formatting, plus a number of cascading style sheet (CSS) entries that control the appearance of the results table section. You can modify the font size, style, colors, and other attributes used in the results to suit your preferences.
