DCMT Functions

DC/UCF master terminal functions provide the means to monitor and control the various aspects of the CA IDMS DDS system at run time:

DCMT Functions	Description
DISPLAY DDS	Displays general CA IDMS DDS information including information about nodes, lines, and physical terminals (PTERMs).
DISPLAY LINE	Displays information about a line.
DISPLAY PTERM	Displays information about a PTERM.
VARY LINE	Enables the user to vary the line online or offline.
VARY PTERM	Enables the user to vary the terminal online or offline.

Note: For more information about the DCMT functions in the preceding table, see the CA IDMS System Tasks and Operator Commands Guide.

VARY commands should be secured

The DCMT VARY LINE/PTERM commands should be used only to vary the line and/or physical terminal online or offline. Since use of this command could affect network operations, these tasks should be adequately secured. DC/UCF permits the assignment of a discrete security class to each of the DCMT commands, thereby allowing the administrator to limit the use of the VARY command to authorized persons only. These DCMT functions apply directly to CA IDMS DDS system operations.
