HWMSG—Control Message Retention

The HWMSG command controls the status of the messages that the hardware retains. Only a CPC entity can process this command.

Syntax

HWMSG { REFRESH | DELETE }
      [ TIMESTAMP=timestamp ]

Parameters

REFRESH | DELETE

Action that you want to perform:

REFRESH

All currently retained hardware messages are reissued. (They are delivered as events to registered event listeners). The TIMESTAMP operand is not needed in this case (the operand is ignored if specified)

DELETE

A hardware message with a matching timestamp is deleted. The TIMESTAMP operand is required in this case.

TIMESTAMP=timestamp

(Required for HWMSG DELETE) Timestamp of the message to be deleted. The operand must be in the following format:

TIMESTAMP=yyyymmddhhmmssttt

Note: The timestamp text on a message event is not in this format.
