To set up a DTM system to run tests, you must perform
  the following steps:

  1. Create or open a DTM library.

  2. Identify each test and related files to DTM.

1  –  des_lib

  You can open an existing or new DTM library from which
  to reference and control information by one of the
  following methods:

  o  Choose an existing DTM library.

  o  Create a DTM library, which then becomes the
     referenced library.

1.1  –  create_lib

  To create a new DTM library, you must first create an
  empty OpenVMS directory for the library, then perform
  the following steps:

  1. Pull down the Library menu.

  2. Choose the Create... menu item.

  The Create Library dialog box enables you to specify
  all the attributes for the new library. The created
  library automatically becomes the current DTM library.

1.2  –  choose_lib

  To open the current DTM library, perform the following
  steps:

  1. Pull down the Library menu.

  2. Choose the Open... menu item.

  The Open Library dialog box contains a field for
  entering the DTM library name.

2  –  history

  When you create a DTM library, a history becomes
  associated with that library. Whenever you initiate
  an operation that alters the library, DTM logs the
  operation and its associated remark into the history.

  You can view history entries and add and delete remarks
  from the history.

2.1  –  vue_history

  To display the history records, perform the following
  steps:

  1. Pull down the View menu.

  2. Choose the History menu item.

2.2  –  remark

  To add a remark to the history, perform one of the
  following actions:

  o  Enter text in remark fields (usually part of a
     dialog box for DTM operations). DTM logs the text
     you enter and the operation.

  o  Log information about an unusual event using the
     Create History dialog box, as follows:

     -   Pull down the Maintenance menu.

     -   Choose the Create menu item and the History...
         submenu item.

2.3  –  del_history

  To delete a specified range of history entries from the
  history, perform the following steps:

  1. Pull down the Maintenance menu.

  2. Choose the Delete menu item and the History...
     submenu item.

3  –  id_tests

  DTM recognizes noninteractive, interactive and
  DECwindows tests by their test descriptions.

  You must create a test description before you can
  execute a noninteractive test or record a DECwindows
  or interactive terminal test. To create a test
  description, perform the following steps:

  1. Pull down the Maintenance menu.

  2. Choose the Create menu item and the Test submenu
     item.

  3. Choose the type of test you want to create from the
     submenu off the Test submenu.

  The resulting dialog box contains text entry fields to
  specify the test attributes.

4  –  grouping_tests

  You can organize tests into groups so that many tests
  can be treated as a single entity.

  To create an empty group in the DTM library into which
  you subsequently place tests, perform the following
  steps:

  1. Pull down the Maintenance menu.

  2. Choose the Create menu item and the Group... submenu
     item.

  To place a test or group into an existing group,
  perform the following steps:

  1. Pull down the Maintenance menu.

  2. Choose the Insert menu item and either the Test...
     or Group... submenu item.
