Using TFDSCOM Commands

The CLOSE command deletes an incident from the TFDS incident database as well as

any related dump file or event log.

rec-num

represents the record number of a database record to be deleted. To derive record

numbers, use the REPORT command.

Guidelines

•

You can use the abbreviation cl in place of CLOSE.

•

Root incidents (the first occurrence of an incident) cannot be closed because

TFDS uses the root incidents for its rediscovery.

•

You will not be prompted for authorization to purge associated files of an incident,

so use caution.

CONFIG

The CONFIG command displays the current TFDS configuration settings set as

defaults in the TFDS configuration file or altered through TFDSCOM commands. If you

save the configuration file, changes made to settings by TFDSCOM commands remain

in effect after you stop and restart TFDS.

Guidelines

•

You can use the abbreviation c in place of CONFIG.

•

The CONFIG command output lists all of the eligible processors (0 through 15);

indicates (with an XX) which processors are ENABLED, DISABLED, or IGNORED;

CLOSE rec-num

Note. Do not use this command unless there are many duplicate incidents in the TFDS

database. Each time an incident is rediscovered, a dial-out event is created that contains all

incident numbers, dates, and times of previous incidents that match. This information can be

useful to the GCSC analyst who services the system. If possible, leave all incidents

encountered in the TFDS database.

CONFIG

Caution. If the first physical processor number configured is not processor 0, you must add a

DISABLECPUS

option for each processor number lower than the number of the first physical

processor (down to 0) configured to avoid receiving an incorrect list of enabled processors with

the TFDSCOM CONFIG command. An incorrect list of enabled processors does not adversely

affect the normal operation of TFDS software.
