Wildcard Support for the PROCESS Object

Tandem FTAM supports limited use of wildcards. The wildcard characters are the

question mark (?) and the asterisk (*). The question mark denotes any single character;

the asterisk denotes any number of characters.

When wildcards are used in $process-name or $appl-mgr-name, the first

character must be the dollar sign ($). The second character, and any subsequent

characters, can be any alphabetic or numeric character, an asterisk (*), or a question

mark (?). Examples of wildcards in $process-name or $appl-mgr-name are

PROCESS $*

PROCESS $MGR*

PROCESS $??MGR

Additional limited wildcard support is provided by Tandem FTAM for the NAMES

PROCESS command (indirect process name). Only the asterisk (*) can be used, as

shown in the following examples (note that the asterisk must immediately follow the

period):

NAMES PROCESS $appl-mgr-name.#FTAMI.*

NAMES PROCESS $appl-mgr-name.#FTAMR.*

NAMES PROCESS $appl-mgr-name.*

NAMES PROCESS $appl-mgr-name.*.*

To request attribute values for the APLMGR process named $APL2, enter the following

command:

INFO PROCESS $APL2

To request the attribute values for the initiator process named FTI3 and associated with

the APLMGR process named $MGR1 on the \MARS system, enter the following

command:

INFO PROCESS \MARS.$MGR1.#FTAMI.FTI3

To request the attribute values of the initiator process $FTI3 on the \MARS system by

querying that process directly, use the following command:

INFO PROCESS \MARS.$FTI3
