1 /BENCHMARK_DIRECTORY
/BENCHMARK_DIRECTORY=directory-specification /NOBENCHMARK_DIRECTORY Determines whether Digital Test Manager should search the default benchmark directory for benchmark files for the specified collection. If you do not include a directory, Digital Test Manager searches the default benchmark directory for the benchmark file established by the SET BENCHMARK_DIRECTORY command. If you include a directory in the benchmark file specification for a test within the collection, Digital Test Manager searches that directory for the benchmark file and (if found) overrides the default directory. The directory you specify can be either another directory or a CMS library. The /NOBENCHMARK_DIRECTORY qualifier overrides the default benchmark directory for the specified collection. Digital Test Manager searches your default directory for all benchmark files without directory specifications.
2 /CLASS
/CLASS=(keyword=class-name,...) Specifies the optional CMS class for benchmark files and template files stored in CMS libraries. The keywords, BENCHMARK and TEMPLATE, designate the name of the specific set of generations of elements. If you do not specify a class and the file is stored in a CMS library, the latest generation on the main line of descent is used. You can specify the same class names for your benchmark and template files. If you specify both keywords, separate them with a comma and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify only one keyword, omit the parentheses.
3 /COMPARE
/COMPARE[=(keyword,...)]
/NOCOMPARE
Determines whether Digital Test Manager compares the results of each
test with its benchmark file (the file that contains expected
test results) after the collection is executed. The default is
/COMPARE.
The /COMPARE qualifier specifies that Digital Test Manager is to
compare all tests after the collection is executed. A collection
must be compared before it can be reviewed. Any differences
between the results for a test and its benchmark file are recorded
in a difference file for that test. Tests without benchmarks can
be compared, but will be marked with the comparison status of new
test.
When you review tests, you can have benchmark files generated for
them. When you enter the /COMPARE qualifier, the COMPARE command
default qualifiers (/SCREENS, /LOG, and /WIDTH=132) are in effect.
You can optionally specify any of the following COMPARE command
qualifiers as keywords:
CHARACTERS
FULL
IGNORE=keyword
[NO]PARALLEL
RECORDS
SCREENS
WIDTH
The /COMPARE qualifier keywords have the same effect as the
COMPARE command qualifiers. See the COMPARE command qualifiers
for a description of the /COMPARE qualifier keywords.
If you specify more than one keyword, separate the keywords with
commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify only
one keyword, you can omit the parentheses.
The /NOCOMPARE qualifier prevents the automatic comparison that
Digital Test Manager ordinarily performs when the collection is
executed. You can use the COMPARE command later to compare test
results for collections created with the /NOCOMPARE qualifier.
4 /EPILOGUE
/EPILOGUE=file-specification /NOEPILOGUE Determines whether the default collection epilogue is run with this collection. The /EPILOGUE qualifier overrides the default collection epilogue file for this collection. The /NOEPILOGUE qualifier runs a collection without a collection epilogue. This qualifier has no effect on individual test epilogues.
5 /LOG
/LOG (D) /NOLOG Controls whether Digital Test Manager displays informational and success messages on your screen.
6 /MASK
/MASK=(keyword,...)
The /MASK qualifier selects one or more sets of mask patterns that
will cause certain run-time data to be ignored during the comparison
of screens for interactive terminal tests. Such run-time data is
ignored by substituting blank space for patterns in both the
benchmark and result screens before they are compared.
The valid values for keyword are as follows:
Keyword Mask
ALL Specifies that all the masks in this table be used
DATE The date mask ignores comparison of date stamps
The following list shows some examples of the date
patterns to be ignored; this list is not all
inclusive.
dd-mmm-yyyy ( example: 17-OCT-1998 )
dd mmm yy ( example: 17 OCT 98 )
yy.mmm.dd ( example: 98.OCT.17 )
mm/dd/yy ( example: 10/17/98 )
yyyy/mm/dd ( example: 1998/10/17 )
month day, year ( example: October 17, 1998 )
month day, year ( example: Oct. 17, 1998 )
day.month.year ( example: 17.October.1998 )
year-month-day ( example: 98-October-17 )
TIME Ignores time stamps with the following forms:
hh:mm:ss.xxxx ( example: 15:37:53.22 )
hh:mm:ss ( example: 15:37:53 )
hh:mm ( example: 15:37 )
hh:mm xm ( example: 3:37 PM )
hhHmmm ( example: 15H37m )
hhHmm' ( example: 15H37' )
hh.mm h ( example: 15.37 h )
hh h mm"ss s ( example: 15 h 37"53 s )
hh h mm min ( example: 15 h 37 min )
kl hh.mm ( example: kl 15.37 )
h hh.mm ( example: h 15.37 )
VERSION Ignores file versions on file names
FILE_NAMES Ignores file names of the form FILENAME.EXT
DIRECTORIES Ignores directory specification fields of
the form DISK:[DIRECTORY]
If you specify more than one keyword, separate the keywords with
commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify only
one keyword, omit the parentheses. Masking of is performed in
the order of the keywords shown above.
7 /PROLOGUE
/PROLOGUE=file-specification /NOPROLOGUE Determines whether the default collection prologue is run with this collection. The /PROLOGUE qualifier overrides the default collection prologue file for this collection. The /NOPROLOGUE qualifier runs a collection without a collection prologue file. This qualifier has no effect on individual test prologues.
8 /REALTIME
/REALTIME /NOREALTIME (D) Specifies that the speed of session file playback for all interactive terminal tests in the collection is to be based solely on the speed at which they were recorded and not on the rate at which the applications being tested request input. This qualifier is useful for testing applications that request input before completing processing and display of data.
9 /SENTINEL
/SENTINEL=("begin-delimiter","end-delimiter")
Specifies a pair of strings used to delimit a section of text to
be ignored during the comparison of result and benchmark files for
a noninteractive test. The delimiters can be up to 256 characters
per line, and must be unique. Any text between and including the
delimiters is treated as if it did not exist.
If you do not enclose the sentinel strings in quotation marks,
they are converted to uppercase before the comparison of the
files. Sentinel strings may contain any characters, but if you
include spaces, tabs, or commas they must be enclosed in
quotation marks.
10 /SUBMIT
/SUBMIT[=(keyword,...)]
/NOSUBMIT (D)
Determines whether the collection is executed immediately after it
is created. You can submit collections that contain DECwindows
tests but Digital Test Manager must be connected to a DECwindows
server for the tests to execute.
The /SUBMIT qualifier executes the collection in batch mode
immediately after the collection is created. When you enter the
/SUBMIT qualifier, the SUBMIT command qualifiers (/KEEP
and /LOG) are in effect. You can optionally specify any of the
following SUBMIT command qualifiers as keywords:
AFTER [NO]CHARACTERISTICS CPUTIME
[NO]HOLD [NO]KEEP [NO]LOG_FILE
NAME [NO]NOTIFY [NO]PRINTER
PRIORITY QUEUE [NO]USER
WSDEFAULT WSEXTENT WSQUOTA
If you specify more than one keyword, separate the keywords with
commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you specify only
one keyword, you can omit the parentheses.
The /NOSUBMIT qualifier creates the collection without submitting
it to the batch queue. To run the collection, use the SUBMIT
command.
11 /TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY
/TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY=directory-specification /NOTEMPLATE_DIRECTORY Determines whether Digital Test Manager should search the default template directory for template files for the specified collection. If you do not include a directory, Digital Test Manager searches the default template directory for the template file established by the SET TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY command. If you include a directory in the template file specification for a test within the collection, Digital Test Manager searches that directory for the template file. The directory you specify can be either another directory or a CMS library. The /NOTEMPLATE_DIRECTORY qualifier overrides the default template directory for the specified collection. Digital Test Manager searches your default directory for all template files without directory specifications.
12 /VARIABLE
/VARIABLE=(variable-name=variable-value,...) Overrides the values of the specified global variables for this collection. If you override the value for more than one variable, separate the variables with commas and enclose the list in parentheses. If you override only one variable, omit the parentheses.
13 /VERIFY
/VERIFY (D) /NOVERIFY Specifies whether Digital Test Manager is to verify the existence of files associated with all test descriptions before creating the collection. If a referenced file does not exist, Digital Test Manager does not create the collection. The /NOVERIFY qualifier causes Digital Test Manager to create the collection without verifying the existence of files associated with all test descriptions before creating the collection. If a file associated with a test description is missing when a collection executes, Digital Test Manager may not run that test.
