ADDRESS USS WTOR—Send and Receive Messages

The WTOR command issues a message to, and waits for a reply from, the Event Management component of CCS for z/OS. If the reply is completed before the wait time expires, the reply text is returned. The CAWTOR USS command waits until a response is received with no time out provision. If no response is supplied, the USS server abnormally ends because the time limit for the transaction was exceeded.

Note: Five seconds are added to the value specified for the WAIT keyword to allow for the removal of a WTOR for which no reply is received.

This command has the following format:

ADDRESS USS "WTOR keywords"
/* Optional API Keywords   */
  [TEXT('message text')]
  [ATTRIBUTE(BLINK|REVERSE)]
  [CATEGORY('category name')]
  [COLOR(red|green|yellow|orange|blue|pink|purple)]
  [DEVICE('device name')]
  [HILITE]
  [INVISIBLE]
  [KEEP]
  [LOGONLY]
  [NODE(nodename)]
  [MSGNUM(message number)]
  [PROCESS('process data')]
  [SEVERITY(I|W|E|S|F)]
  [SOURCE('source name')]
  [TAG('platform')]
  [USERDATA('user data')]
  [USERID('user id')]
  [WORKSTATION('workstation name')]
  [DELAY(seconds)]
/* Optional USS Keywords     */
  [LOG(Y|N)]
  [STEM(stem)]
  [WAIT(seconds)]

The USS keywords of the WTOR command have these values:

LOG, STEM, WAIT, and DELAY

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

Note: The HILITE, INVISIBLE, and KEEP keywords do not have any effect on a command when it is directed to a CA Event Console on z/OS, whether it be the local system where the ADDRESS USS WTOR command was issued or a remote system where the WTOR command was directed through the NODE keyword.
