12.8 ACMSSNAP QUIT

Ends the current ACMSSNAP session.


Format

ACMSSNAP> QUIT


Privileges Required

None.

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

None.

Notes

This command ends the current ACMSSNAP session and returns control to DCL. It is equivalent to the EXIT command.

Example


ACMSSNAP>  QUIT
      

This command ends the current ACMSSNAP session.

12.9 ACMSSNAP RESET

Clears the local memory tables.

Format

ACMSSNAP> RESET [/qualifiers]

Command Qualifier Default
/ALL None

Privileges Required

None.

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/ALL

This qualifier instructs the ACMSSNAP utility to place the file pointer at the beginning of the data snapshot file. If this qualifier is not specified, the local memory tables are cleared; however, the file pointer remains at the current position within the data snapshot file.

Notes

Use the RESET command to remove all data snapshot records from internal data tables and clear the local memory buffer.

Specifying the /ALL qualifier is equivalent to closing and reopening the data snapshot file; the position marker is moved to the beginning of the data snapshot file. Without the /ALL qualifier, the internal tables are cleared, but the location of the position marker is not changed.


Example


ACMSSNAP>  RESET /ALL
      

This command clears the local buffer of all data snapshot records and places the position marker at the beginning of the data snapshot file.

12.10 ACMSSNAP SHOW

Locates and displays information from one or more data snapshot records.

Format

ACMSSNAP> SHOW entity [/qualifiers]

Command Qualifier Default
/APPL=application-name None. Valid for EXC, SERVER, and Task Group only.
/AT=time None
/[BRIEF,FULL] /FULL if no class qualifier (/CONFIG, /ID, /POOL,
or /RUNTIME) is specified. Otherwise, /BRIEF.
/[class-name] * (all)
/GROUP=group-name Valid for Task Group only.
/NEXT=value None
/OUT=file-name None
/PREV=value None
/SERVER=server-name Valid for Server only.

Privileges Required

None.

Parameters

entity

This parameter can be one of the following ACMS entities: ACC, CP, EXC, GROUP, QTI, SERVER, or TSC.

Qualifiers

/APPL=application-name

This qualifier specifies the application for which you want to view information. This qualifier is only valid when specified with the EXC, SERVER, or GROUP entity.

/AT=time

This qualifier moves through the available data snapshot records and displays the first record equal to or greater than the specified time. The format of time is DD-MMM-YY:hh:mm:ss.nn. Partial dates and times (for example, 10-OCT or 09:00) are supported.

/[BRIEF,FULL]

This qualifier causes either summary (/BRIEF) or detailed (/FULL) information to be displayed.

/[CONFIG,ID,POOL,RUNTIME]

This qualifier causes data for the class to be displayed. If no class qualifier is specified, this qualifier is ignored and all details are displayed (equivalent to /FULL).

/GROUP=group-name

This qualifier specifies the ACMS task group for which you want to view information. Wildcard matching is performed on the name provided. This qualifier is only valid when specified with the GROUP entity.

/NEXT=value

Use this qualifier to display the specified number of records (in chronological order) for an entity. Data is displayed for each record found. If /FULL is not specified, a timestamp that indicates when the record was created is also displayed. A value is required with this qualifier.

/OUT=file-name

This qualifier causes output to be written to the specified file. If this qualifier is not specified, output is displayed to the terminal (SYS$OUTPUT).

/PREV=value

Use this qualifier to display the specified number of records (in reverse chronological order) for an entity. Data is displayed for each record found. If /FULL is not specified, a timestamp that indicates when the record was created is also displayed. A value is required with this qualifier.

/SERVER=server-name

This qualifier specifies the ACMS procedure server for which you want to view information. Wildcard matching is performed on the name provided. This qualifier is only valid when specified with the SERVER entity.

Notes

The data shown for each entity parallels the format of the equivalent ACMSMGR command with the following exceptions:

Data is written to snapshot files based on entries in the Collection table. As a result, only specific classes of information for a given entity may have been stored. Show commands for entities and classes that were not stored may display their default collection values along with a state value of disabled. The storage state for the collection row must be enabled for the actual data to be stored.

The /AT qualifier is intended to be the initial means of navigation by locating a specific entity record for a point in time. The ACMSSNAP utility uses the date given with the /AT qualifier and reads either backwards or forwards through the file until it finds a record for the specified entity. If the timestamp of the record is greater than the one specified, the utility begins reading backwards through the file until it finds an entity record with a time stamp equal to or less than the one specified.

If end or beginning of file is reached first, the search ends and an end-of-file message is displayed. Otherwise, the requested data is displayed. The end result is that when the command completes, a record is shown which is either at the exact time requested, or is the record just before or just after the time requested. You can then use the /NEXT or /PREV qualifier to navigate chronologically through adjacent records.

Special timestamps are used to deal with beginning and end of file conditions. If the beginning of file is reached, the current timestamp is forced to be NULL (17-NOV-1958 00:00:00.00). If the end of file is reached, the current timestamp is forced to be 17-NOV-3000 00:00:00.00. To recover from these situations, a single NEXT or PREV command will read either the first or last record in the file.

See Section 5.3.2.3 for more information on navigating through a data snapshot file with ACMSSNAP.

12.11 ACMSSNAP TRACE

Toggles tracing information on and off.

Format

ACMSSNAP> TRACE


Privileges Required

None.

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

None.

Notes

The main function of tracing is to display the node, timestamp, entity, and class type for the record being read. Tracing also provides some warning information when the internal CP or EXC tables become full.

The TRACE command either turns tracing on or off, depending on the current state. A status message is displayed when the command is issued that indicates which action was performed.


Example


ACMSSNAP>  TRACE
      

This command activates tracing for the current ACMSSNAP session.


Appendix A
Remote Manager Logical Names

This appendix contains information about the Remote Manager logical names used by the Remote Manager server and the Remote Manager client (ACMSMGR) and Remote Manager Data Snapshot (ACMSSNAP) utilities.

A.1 Remote Manager Server

The following list describes the logical names used by the Remote Manager server. If these logical names are present, they must be defined at a level that will be translated by the Remote Manager server. In general, these should be defined as system logicals.

A.2 Remote Manager Client (ACMSMGR) Utility

The following us a list of logical names used by the ACMSMGR utility:

A.3 Remote Manager Data Snapshot (ACMSSNAP) Utility

The following is a list of logical names used by the ACMSSNAP utility:
