XCCMD Keyword

The XCCMD keyword causes a rule to invoke a CA Automation Point command processor specified by cmdtext. For descriptions of CA Automation Point command processors and their operands, see ADDRESS AXC Commands.

This keyword has the following format:

XCCMD(cmdtext)

cmdtext

Specifies the text of any CA Automation Point command processor, its operands, and the operands' values.

Usage Notes:

• The XCCMD rules keyword does not invoke REXX and WTOH CA Automation Point command processors. Issue the REXX command processor from a rule with the REXX rules keyword. Issue the WTOH command processor from a rule with the WTO and HILIGHT rules keywords.
• When the command processor specified with the XCCMD keyword executes, it does not return information to the CA Automation Point rules processor because rules cannot process the information.

Example:

The following rule clause names the window that displays the MsgPre graph:

XCCMD('PLOT MsgPre DEFINE GRAPH WINDOW(My_Plot_Window)')
