PROBE

ZCOM-CMD-PROBE (nonsensitive)

The PROBE command verifies the condition of a link. The tested link is that between

the command object (specified in the OBJNAME and OBJTYPE tokens) and the object

specified by the TARGET tokens.

The link is tested by sending test data to the target object. The data might be routed

through several objects before reaching the target object. The target object then

acknowledges receipt of the test data. The nature of this acknowledgement is

subsystem-specific.

The objects are not required to report any specific summary state to initiate or respond

to a probe.

ZCOM-TKN-TARGET-OBJNAME

specifies the name of the object at the far end of the link. If this token is not

present, the name specified in ZCOM-TKN-OBJNAME is assumed.

ZCOM-TKN-TARGET-OBJTYPE

specifies the type of the object at the far end of the link. If this token is not present,

the value specified by ZCOM-OBJ-objtype is assumed.
