Help Messages
If the system technician presses HELP after entering "test synchronization", the
following message will be displayed:
Enter [’long’ or ’short’], [’repeat’ (1-100)
or ’clear’], [’schedule’]
Error Messages
If there are no tests found for synchronization maintenance object, the following
message will be displayed:
No tests for this MO
If the command entered is in conflict with another currently executing command,
then a message will be displayed showing the login id of the conflicting user and
the conflicting command. The message is as follows:
’login id’:’command’ has a command conflict
If during the execution of a command a resource problem occurs that requires
the user to restart the command, then the following message will be displayed:
short This causes the command to execute a series of nondestructive
diagnostic tests.
long This executes a more comprehensive and longer version of the
diagnostic tests. This involves both destructive and nondestructive
tests. For the synchronization MO, the same nondestructive test is run
for both the short and long tests: test 417. If stratum-3 synchronization
is administered, an additional nondestructive test (649) is also run.
repeat number The "number" specifies how many times each test in the sequence is
repeated. "Number" may be any integer between 1 and 100.
clear This option causes the test sequence (short or long) to repeat until the
alarm (if one exists against synchronization maintenance object) is
cleared or a single test in the sequence fails. If no alarms are
registered against synchronization maintenance object then the test
sequence will be exercised only once. The long clear option forces a
clear of all alarms if no errors are encountered during testing. The short
clear option only clears alarms pertinent to tests in the short sequence.
schedule When the "schedule" option is specified, the command is validated and
then a scheduling form is displayed to allow the technician to schedule
execution of the command. The command is then placed in the
command queue and is executed at the specified time. The information
displayed by the command is sent to the system printer instead of the
screen. Refer to the Report Scheduler and System Printer feature
specification [1] for more details.
