Starting the Distributor
If you want specific command information, enter the name of the command at the HELP
EMSA prompt, for example VERSION.
Starting the Distributor
When you run EMS Analyzer, you must start a distributor to search for events. The EMS
Analyzer distributor is an EMS consumer distributor. EMS Analyzer has only one
distributor of its own.
The following command starts a distributor:
-> start , pri 120, cpu 2
This example starts a distributor with a system-generated name, running in CPU 2 at
priority 120. The START command starts EMS Analyzer’s own consumer distributor
only. It does not start any other distributors.
The started distributor is assumed automatically. Because the object type and name of
the distributor are assumed, you do not need to specify the object type and name when
using ALTER, DUMPLOG, INFO, STATUS, STOP, or VERSION commands.
If your prompt is set to show object type and name (this is how the default EMSACSTM
file is set up), EMS Analyzer displays the assumed object type and name at every
prompt.
HELP EMSA : VERSION
The VERSION command displays the version level of the specified
object or objects.
VERSION [ /OUT <file-spec>/ ] [ <object-spec> ] [ , DETAIL ]
/OUT <file-spec>/
causes any EMSA output generated for this command to be directed
to the specified file.
<object-spec>
is the name of the object or objects whose version level is to be
displayed. If <object-spec> is omitted, the version level of the
assumed object is displayed (see the EMSA ASSUME command).
[ , DETAIL ]
indicates that complete version information is to be returned for
each specified object. If DETAIL is omitted, a single line of
version information is returned for each object.
Usage Considerations
o The version level of EMSA is displayed in the startup banner and
when the ENV command is executed.
