Table 3-16, TMFCOM vs TMFSERVE Version Interaction: Informational Commands,
shows the behavior for informational commands when different versions of TMFCOM
and TMFSERVE interact. Notice that in no cases are error messages returned.
The TMFCOM HELP command displays information about the new options only if it is
connected to a current version of TMFSERVE.
Examples
The following OPEN SERVER command establishes a connection between an existing
TMFSERVE process and the current TMFCOM process. The TMFSERVE process is
named $SERVE and runs on the same node as your current TMFCOM process:
TMF 61> OPEN SERVER $SERVE
The STATUS SERVER command displays the activity of the currently open
TMFSERVE process, $SERVE:
TMF 62> STATUS SERVER
