SUBMIT_MODIFIER Statement—Specify Additional Variables and Flags

The SUBMIT_MODIFIER statement specifies additional variables and flags to pass when invoking commands on the target system.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the Remote Execution job type.

Syntax

SUBMIT_MODIFIER {modifier}

modifier

Specifies the variables and flags to pass to the target system.

Limits: 600 characters; case-sensitive.

Notes:

• Can use any characters, including delimiters.
• If delimiters are used, enclose the operand in single quotes.
• If a single quote is used in an operand with delimiters, place a second single quote next to it.
• Multiple SUBMIT_MODIFIER statements can be specified.

For the UNIX endpoint, the purpose of SubmitModifier is to provide additional flexibility to the REMOTE_COMMAND field.

For example, it can be used to collect more debug information:

Remote_Command ‘ls -l /u1/lyaly01/setTest.out’ 
Submit_Modifier ’pwd;set>/u1/lyaly01/setTest.out’ 

In this case, the agent calls pwd and set>/u1/lyaly01/setTest.out before executing ls -l /u1/lyaly01/setTest.out. All of this process can be observed in the job log.

For the Tandem Endpoint, SUBMIT_MODIFIERs are used to specify TACL program properties. If you use SUBMIT_MODIFIER for this endpoint, specify three of these statements in the job definition. The first statement is reserved for run options. The second statement is reserved for the backup CPU number. The third statement is reserved for parameters. Include all three statements in the job definition, but you do not have to use all three statements. To skip a statement, include the SUBMIT_MODIFIER statement but leave the modifier blank.

For example:

Submit_Modifier ’HIGH PIN ON, INSPECT ON’
Submit_Modifier 2
Submit_Modifier ABENDONABEND

If these options are submitted directly on the Tandem system, the command would look like this example:

TACLCommand/HIGH PIN ON, INSPECT ON/ 2 ;ABENDONABEND

Note: For more information about the TACL program properties, see the HP NonStop TACL Reference Manual.
