2 Using TMFCOM
TMFCOM allows you to enter commands that initiate communication with TMF, request
various TMF operations, and terminate communication with TMF. This section
explains how to use TMFCOM, discussing the following topics:
Running TMFCOM
TMFCOM runs under the Guardian user interface (normally the TACL command
interpreter) to the NonStop Kernel operating system. To initiate communication with
TMFCOM, you enter the TMFCOM command keyword at the current TACL prompt.
This command starts a TMFCOM session that lets you enter TMFCOM commands
interactively, noninteractively, or through a command file, as explained in the next few
pages. The TMFCOM object program file, along with all other TMF object program
files, resides on the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume.
Command Syntax for Starting a Session
To start a TMFCOM session, use the following general command syntax. The specific
options or parameters you enter depend, of course, on the choices you desire.
IN command-file
specifies a command file from which TMFCOM commands are to be read. If you
do not specify a command file, TACL automatically supplies the name of its own

Caution. Some operational limits and the default operational behavior described in this section
may have changed since this manual was published with RVU G06.23. If such changes were
made, they will be described in TMF Supplement for Limits and Defaults Changed after RVU
G06.23. If that Supplement currently exists, please read it for new information about limits and
defaults.
Note. The previous version of TMFCOM is released as TMFCOM1, and is available for your
convenience in the file $SYSTEM.SYSnn.TMFCOM1.
