This document covers the following topics:
Enables users to trace the events which occur on the terminal line between the TOPCALL, GNT, or CAESAR system and the Natural telex driver on the host. Additionally, users can check when the last interaction between the Telex, Teletex, or Telefax driver and the connected hardware occurred.
If this program is added as an Application in the user's cabinet, it can be invoked from any point in Con-nect . For further information, see the Con-nect User's Guide, section Applications. Otherwise, it can be invoked from the SYSCNT2T library by entering D-TELEX at the Next prompt.
The following screen is displayed.
Note:
If this program is added as an Application in the user's cabinet
with the "User" defined as a parameter, this screen is not displayed.
FOR USER ________
FUNCTION _ 0=DISPLAY 1=START 2=STOP
|
- For User
The user ID running the Con-nect Teleservices driver.
- Function
0=DISPLAY Display the traced events. Events cannot be traced unless this trace feature has been initialized for the specified communication line by specifying 1 (e.g. user TELEX). 1=START Begin tracing the communication line. Once the trace feature is started, it continues to trace the line until the system is rebooted, or you select the stop function. To activate the trace facility, the user defined for the terminal line must be restarted. To do so, logoff and restart the telex driver. 2=STOP Stop tracing the communication line.
If you select the START function, the trace feature is activated and you are returned to the menu in which you called the d-telex program. For example, if you have defined the d-telex program as an application in your cabinet and you call it from the main menu, you are returned to the main menu.
If you select the DISPLAY function, similar information as shown below is displayed:
16. 16:07:48 *** TOP-CALL TELEX *** ROLL -> 2 MIN 57 SEC 16. 16:10:46 D..2Q?R?? 16. 16:10:48 D?D++++++A:+EMPTY?D318 keine Nachricht?E? 16. 16:10:49 *** TOP-CALL TELEX *** ROLL -> 2 MIN 57 SEC 16. 16:18:31 D..2Q?R?? 16. 16:19:12 D?D++++++A:+EMPTY?D318 keine Nachricht?E? 16. 16:20:11 *** TOP-CALL TELEX *** ROLL -> 1 MIN 20 SEC 16. 16:21:49 D..2Q?R?? 16. 16:21:54 D?D++++++A:+EMPTY?D318 keine Nachricht?E? 16. 16:21:55 *** TOP-CALL TELEX *** ROLL -> 2 MIN 54 SEC |
The first column on the left-hand side contains the current date. The next column contains the time the message was sent to the TOPCALL, CAESAR or GNT system, while the remaining information contains the protocol element (message, event) that was sent to the TOPCALL, CAESAR or GNT system.
Note:
This trace program does not store log records until they are
physically deleted. Rather, approximately two pages worth of log records are
stored, with the oldest records overwritten with the most current records.
X-BLG-M can only be used with a TOPCALL system.
This program is an extended trace facility which enables the administrator to observe significant events that occur during the execution of Con-nect Teleservices routines.
To activate the extended trace program, the #TC-TRACE-ENABLED switch in the startup program TLXDRV must be set to <TRUE>, and the user defined for the terminal line must be restarted. To perform a restart, you logoff and restart the telex driver.
Notes:
With this program, Con-nect Teleservices can keep log information for each significant action and, thus, facilitate problem determination and general supervision by the administrator. Significant events include initialization, incoming and outgoing telex, telefax or teletex mail items, uploading charge files and journals from the telex system to Con-nect , as well as other exceptional conditions.
This program can be added as an Application in the user's cabinet and, thus, can be invoked from any point in Con-nect. For further information, see the Con-nect User's Guide, section Applications. Otherwise, it can be invoked from the SYSCNT2T library by entering X-BLG-M at the Next prompt.

| occ | Desired connection busy |
| spp | Receiver was also writing, disconnected |
| usc | Non-interpretable character received |
Telefaxes which cannot be delivered to the specified addressee are indicated in the "Status" column with one of the following codes:
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Rej rej | General error |
| Rej NNN | Number not relevant |
If the API subprogram X-BO-U is activated, you can obtain a detailed description as to why the mail item cannot be delivered to the addressee. For further information, see the Con-nect Installation and Operations documentation, section User Modifications.
Enables the Con-nect Teleservices administrator to stop the Con-nect Teleservices driver in between the driver's "sleeping time" as specified in the TLXDRV program.
If this program is added as an Application in the user's cabinet, it can be invoked from any point in Con-nect . If you specify IN-USER-ID and MAX-TIME as parameters when adding the program as an application, you can circumvent the X-BSTOP screen. For further information, see the Con-nect User's Guide, section Applications. Otherwise, this program can be invoked from the SYSCNT2T library by entering X-BSTOP at the Next prompt.
If you have not added this program as an application with IN-USER-ID and MAX-TIME defined as parameters, the following screen is displayed:
#IN-USER-ID #MAX-TIME |
- IN-USER-ID
Enter the user ID running the Con-nect Teleservices driver.
- MAX-TIME
The number of minutes the program will wait before stopping the Con-nect Teleservices driver. The time specified here must be greater than the sleeping time specified in the TLXDRV program. Valid values are: " " (blank), or 0 through 999.
If no time limit is specified in parameter MAX-TIME, this program sets a flag in the spool file, exits and the screen from where you called this program is displayed. You are not notified when the driver is stopped, but the next time the driver checks the spool file, the driver is stopped.
If you specify a time limit, this program sets a flag in the spool file but does not exit until the driver is stopped. Thus, your terminal is locked until then.
If for any reason the driver stops itself during the time limit specified in parameter MAX-TIME, the driver automatically erases the flag.
The following program can be included in program X-STOP so that you are notified when the driver is stopped.
