ADDRESS USS REPLY—Reply to WTOR

The REPLY command replies to an outstanding WTOR in the Event Management component of CCS for z/OS.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS USS  "REPLY keywords"
/* Optional API Keywords    */
[TEXT('reply text')]
[REPLYID(reply number)]
[NODE(nodename)]
/* Optional USS Keywords    */
[LOG(Y|N)]
[STEM(stem)]
[WAIT(seconds)]
[DELAY(seconds)]

The USS keywords of the REPLY command have these values:

LOG, STEM, WAIT, and DELAY

(Optional) You may specify the LOG, STEM, WAIT, and DELAY keywords, which are common to all ADDRESS USS commands.

Note: Due to the asynchronous nature of the REPLY command, the specified REPLYID is not validated prior to the return of the underlying CA Event Manager command to the ADDRESS USS environment. Therefore, an invalid REPLYID is not reported through the returned RC value. If the REPLY ID is invalid, then the following USS message is generated on the system where the REPLY command was targeted to run. If it was a z/OS system, then it is available to USS rules and OPSLOG.

%CAOP_E_501 Replyid not found.

You can write a USS rule on the above message using CAOP_E_501 as the message ID.
