XCF Operator Commands

Entire Net-Work's XCF line driver has the ability to process operator commands that are directed to a specific link, to all links, or directly to the driver.

This document covers the following topics:

Link Commands

Operator Command Syntax

The XCF line driver operator commands have the following format:

The following table describes this syntax.

Syntax Representation	Description
XCFD	Informs Entire Net-Work that the command is destined for the XCF line driver.
`target`	A value that informs Entire Net-Work what the target of the command is, as follows: Specify an asterisk (*) if the target is all links. Specify the pound sign (#) if the target is the driver itself. Specify the link name if the target is a specific link.
`cmd`	The operator command to be carried out.

Syntax Representation

Description

XCFD

Informs Entire Net-Work that the command is destined for the XCF line driver.

target

A value that informs Entire Net-Work what the target of the command is, as follows:

Specify an asterisk (*) if the target is all links.
Specify the pound sign (#) if the target is the driver itself.
Specify the link name if the target is a specific link.

cmd

The operator command to be carried out.

Examples

The following are examples of operator commands:

XCFD * SHOW

XCFD # STATUS

XCFD link3 TRACE

Driver Commands

The Entire Net-Work XCF line driver supports the commands listed in the following table when the target is the driver. The underlined portion of the command is the minimum abbreviation.

Command	Action
ALTER `driver-parms`	Dynamically changes the driver configuration. The ALTER command is followed by the driver configuration parameters to be altered. The driver configuration parameters are the same as those specified in the XCF DRIVER Statement. For example: XCF # ALTER ACCEPTUI=Y Refer to the specific parameter description for information on possible restrictions about modifying the parameter using the ALTER command.
HELP	Display a list of operator commands.
RESET	Resets all statistics for the driver. Statistics are printed only if the STATS command precedes the RESET command.
SHOW	Displays the current configuration of the driver. The current configuration is always shown automatically following an ALTER command.
SNAP	Causes all driver specific control blocks and the driver specific trace table to be snapped (printed in hexadecimal). Link specific control blocks and Entire Net-Work specific control blocks are not snapped.
STATS	Causes the immediate printing of statistics and restarts the statistics interval. To print and reset statistics, specify RESET immediately after the STATS command. For example: XCFD # STATS RESET Statistics triggered by the STATS operator command are written only to DDPRINT.
TRACE	Causes the driver specific trace table to be formatted and printed. The trace table is also formatted and printed automatically when the SNAP command is processed.

Link Commands

The Entire Net-Work XCF line driver supports the commands listed in the following table when the target is a link or all links. The underlined portion of the command is the minimum abbreviation.

Command	Action
ALTER `link-parms`	Dynamically changes the link configuration. The ALTER command is followed by the link configuration parameters to be altered. The link configuration parameters are the same as those specified on the LINK statement. For example: XCFD linkname ALTER,PSTAT=Y Refer to the specific parameter description for information on possible restrictions about modifying the parameter using the ALTER command.
HELP	Display a list of available operator commands.
LOGLON `linkname`	Turns on selective logging for the specified link.
LOGLOFF `linkname`	Turns off selective logging for the specified link.
RESET	Resets all statistics for the link. Statistics are printed only if the STATS command precedes the RESET command.
SHOW	Displays the current configuration of the link. The current configuration is always shown automatically following an ALTER command.
SNAP	Causes all link specific control blocks and the link specific trace table to be snapped (printed in hexadecimal). Driver specific control blocks and Entire Net-Work specific control blocks are not snapped.
STATS	Causes the immediate printing of statistics and restarts the statistics interval. To print and reset statistics, specify RESET immediately after the STATS command. For example: XCFD linkname STATS RESET Statistics triggered by the STATS operator command are written only to DDPRINT.
TRACE	Causes the link specific trace table to be formatted and printed. The trace table is also formatted and printed automatically when the SNAP command is processed.
