Issuing Commands to a Session Using the Command Dialog

You use the Command dialog to issue commands to a session. You can use this dialog with sessions that are automated, controlled, or not controlled. A key benefit of this dialog is that it allows sessions to be shared by more than one remote user.

To display the Command dialog use the hot key (Alt+X) or choose Command Dialog from the SessCntl menu. When selected from a Session window, the dialog prompts you for a character string to send to that session without the possibility of intermingled characters.

Note: The Remote Viewer permits multiple users on their own remote workstations to access the same CA Automation Point host session. When multiple users type directly into a shared window, they risk intermingled characters because CA Automation Point is managing only one physical console for each session. When remote viewing is enabled, CA AP Remote Manager provides a view of the same physical console to all Remote Viewers.

The command dialog has the following buttons:

OK

Submits the command and closes the dialog

Submit
