Examples of the ALTER Command

Use the INFO SERVICE command with the SUB ALL syntax to view all windows
subordinate to a service.

Use the STOP WINDOW command to stop each window subordinate to a service.
WINDOW Object

ALTER WINDOW is a sensitive command.

The WINDOW object must be in the STOPPED summary state before its attributes
can be altered. When the command is completed, the object remains in the same
summary state that existed before the command was executed.

Use the STATUS WINDOW command with the * syntax to view the summary state
of all the windows.

Use the STOP WINDOW command with the * syntax to put all the windows into the
STOPPED summary state.

The CALLER attribute requires a quoted IP address as its argument. Any leading
blanks in the quoted IP address result in Telserv error 1. The CALLER attribute is
required if the corresponding SERVICE object, to which the window belongs, has
its ASSIGNED attribute ON. Otherwise, it is optional.
Generally, multiple STATIC windows cannot be configured using the same
CALLER address. Note the following:

Multiple STATIC windows belonging to the same SERVICE having the
ASSIGNED attribute set ON can have the same CALLER address.

STATIC windows belonging to different services having the ASSIGNED
attribute set ON cannot have the same CALLER address.

STATIC windows belonging to services having the ASSIGNED attribute set
OFF can have the same CALLER address. In this case, the CALLER address
is ignored. Subsequent use of the ALTER command to set an ASSIGNED
attribute ON can result in an error if the CALLER address of any of the
windows is a duplicate of a window for some other service having its
ASSIGNED attribute set ON.

STATIC windows must be in the STOPPED summary state before the CALLER
address can be altered. Otherwise, an error occurs.

The CALLER address for WINDOW objects should be defined before any attempt
to alter the ASSIGNED attribute of a SERVICE of SUBTYPE STATIC.
