Adding a Secondary Point Code

This procedure is used to add a secondary point code to the database using the ent-spc command.

The ent-spc command uses only one parameter: spc/spca/spci/spcn/spcn24 – the secondary point code.

Note:

See Point Code Formats for a definition of the point code types that are used on the EAGLE and for a definition of the different formats that can be used for ITU national point codes.

The secondary point code must be a full point code. Cluster and network routing point codes cannot be specified as a secondary point code.

The Multiple Point Code Support feature must be on to configure secondary point codes in the database. This can be verified with the entry MPC = on in the rtrv-feat command output. If the Multiple Point Code Support feature is not turned on, enter the chg-feat:mpc=on command.

Note:

Once the Multiple Point Code Support feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.

The Multiple Point Code Support feature must be purchased before you turn this feature on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the Multiple Point Code Support feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

The database can contain up to 40 secondary point codes.

The secondary point code cannot be defined in the database as the true point code of the EAGLE, a capability point code, a destination point code, or an alias point code. The true point code and capability point codes are shown in the rtrv-sid command output. The destination point codes and alias point codes are shown in the rtrv-dstn command output.

The secondary point code cannot be shown in the rtrv-pct output as an EPC (emulated point code) value.

For the examples in this procedure, these secondary point codes are being added to the database:

ANSI secondary point code = 010-100-010

ITU secondary international point code = 4-100-1

14-bit ITU secondary national point code = 14-15-12-1

The format of the 14-bit ITU national point codes used in these examples is 4-4-4-2.

Canceling the RTRV-DSTN Command

Because the rtrv-dstn command used in this procedure can output information for a long period of time, the rtrv-dstn commands can be canceled and the output to the terminal stopped. There are three ways that the rtrv-dstn command can be canceled:

Press the F9 function key on the keyboard at the terminal where the rtrv-dstn command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd without the trm parameter at the terminal where the rtrv-dstn command was entered.
Enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx>, where <xx> is the terminal where the rtrv-dstn command was entered, from another terminal other than the terminal where the rtrv-dstn command was entered. To enter the canc-cmd:trm=<xx> command, the terminal must allow Security Administration commands to be entered from it and the user must be allowed to enter Security Administration commands. The terminal’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-secu-trm command. The user’s permissions can be verified with the rtrv-user or rtrv-secu-user commands.

For more information about the canc-cmd command, refer to Commands User's Guide.

Display the current secondary point codes, using the rtrv-spc command.
This is an example of the possible output.

```
If the secondary point code table is full, shown by the entry Secondary Point Code table is (40 of 40) 100% full, go to the Removing a Secondary Point Code procedure and remove a secondary point code from the database.

If error message E3867 Cmd Rej: MPC feature must be enabled is displayed, the EAGLE has detected that the multiple point code support feature is off and the rtrv-spc command will not display any data. Continue the procedure with 2 to verify that the multiple point code support feature is off.
Verify whether or not the multiple point code support feature is on, by entering the rtrv-feat command.

If the multiple point code support feature is on, the MPC field should be set to on. For this example, the multiple point code support feature is off.

Note:
The rtrv-feat command output contains other fields that are not used by this procedure. If you wish to see all the fields displayed by the rtrv-feat command, see the rtrv-feat command description in Commands User's Guide.

If the multiple point code support feature is on, continue the procedure with 4.

If the rtrv-feat command output shows that the multiple point code support feature is on, but error message E3867 was displayed when the rtrv-spc command was entered, contact the Customer Care Center. Refer to My Oracle Support (MOS) for the contact information.

If group codes are to be assigned to the ITU-N secondary point code, and none are currently displayed in the rtrv-spc command output, the ITU National Duplicate Point Code feature must be on. This is shown by the entry ITUDUPPC = on in the rtrv-feat command output.
Turn the multiple point code support feature on by entering this command.
chg-feat:mpc=on
Note:
Once the multiple point code support feature is turned on with the chg-feat command, it cannot be turned off.
The multiple point code support feature must be purchased before you turn this feature on with the chg-feat command. If you are not sure if you have purchased the multiple point code support feature, contact your Oracle Sales Representative or Account Representative.

When the chg-feat has successfully completed, this message should appear.

To enter an ANSI secondary code with the ent-spc command, a point code must be shown in the PCA field of the rtrv-sid command output.

To enter an ITU-I secondary point code with the ent-spc command, a point code must be shown in the PCI field of the rtrv-sid command output.

To enter a 14-bit ITU-N secondary point code with the ent-spc command, a point code must be shown in the PCN field of the rtrv-sid command output.

To enter a 24-bit ITU-N secondary point code with the ent-spc command, a point code must be shown in the PCN24 field of the rtrv-sid command output.

If the required type of point code is shown in the rtrv-spc output in 1 or is shown in the rtrv-sid output in this step, continue the procedure with 6.

If the required type of point code is not shown in the PCA, PCI, PCN, or PCN24 fields of the rtrv-sid command output, go to the Adding a Point Code to the Self-Identification of the EAGLE procedure and add the required point codes.

Display the current destination point codes using the rtrv-dstn command.

This is an example of the possible output.
