Section 6: ASAP Conversational
Interface Commands
The ASAP Conversational Interface (CI) provides the commands and options to start,
stop, configure, and get the status of the ASAP system, as well as the commands to
display object status and performance data.
Use the CI to configure, start, stop, and get the status of the system resources
Application (APP), CPU, DISK (DSK), Expand (LH), FILE(FIL), Node end-to-end
(NCP), PROCESS(PRO), executing ProcessBusy (PCB), RDF(RDF), SPOOLER
(SPL), TAPE(TAP), and TMF(TMF).
The CI displays performance reports for Application, CPU, Disk, Expand, Node, and
Process objects. Default performance reports contain object status information about
Application, CPU, Disk, Expand, File, Process, RDF, Spooler, Tape, and TMF.
To start the ASAP CI, type ASAP at a TACL prompt. The startup syntax is:
