ECHO Commands

Users with the authority to issue the MODIFY (F) command can change the parameter settings, and stop or start the product. Only one parameter is processed with each modify command. Additional parameters are ignored. The need to issue most of these commands should be infrequent.

Note: gts is the job or started task name of the CA GTS server under which USSF is running.

Example: Stop the product

This example stops the product.

F gts,ECHO STOP

Example: Display current settings

This example displays the current parameter settings.

F gts,ECHO DISPLAY

Example: Change route code settings

This example changes the route code settings.

F gts,ECHO ROUTCDE(1,5,21)

F gts,ECHO ROUTCDE(1,142,21)

In the preceding example, 142 is not a valid route code. In this situation, route codes 1 and 21 are accepted and 142 is discarded. If any route code value supplied is valid, it is used. If none is valid, the default route code 11 is used. Be advised that when you modify the route code, previously existing settings are wiped out.

Example: Change console name

This example changes the console name.

F gts,ECHO CONSNAME(MASTER1)

Example: Reset console name

This example resets the console name.

F gts,ECHO CONSNAME()

This stops messages being routed to a previously set CONSNAME parameter value.

Example: Dump CAICCI buffer

This example dumps the CAICCI buffer passed to the ECHO module.

F gts,ECHO TRACE(YES)

You must have the ECTRACE DD statement in your CA GTS job/task. We do not recommend that you set TRACE to YES unless requested by CA Support because it can generate thousands of lines of sysout.

Example: Turn off tracing

This example turns tracing off.

F gts,ECHO TRACE(NO)
