Usage Guidelines
When you specify an operation number with the STATUS OPERATIONS command,
TMFCOM displays the status of the latest operation assigned that operation number by
the current incarnation of the TMP.
TMF recognizes each specific instance of a particular kind of operation (such as TMF
start, TMF stop, or file recovery) as a unique operation, and assigns an operation serial
number that distinguishes this operation from other recent operations of the same type.
If you use the NOWAIT option in the command that generates an operation, TMFCOM
displays this number at your terminal. To retrieve information about the operation,
enter this number in the operation-number parameter of the STATUS
OPERATIONS command.
The operation numbers generated are re-used, to keep the number of digits low as an
aid in remembering these numbers; after the highest number allowed (100) is
assigned, TMF returns to the lowest possible number (1) to identify the next operation.
The TYPE, STATE, and BEGINTIME parameters serve as filters that let you select
categories of operations to display. For example, with the TYPE parameter, you can
display information for all operations of a certain type. With the BEGINTIME
parameter, you can display information for all operations that began at or after a certain
time.
If you use the TYPE, STATE, or BEGINTIME parameter, however, you cannot specify
an operation-number; you must, instead, use the asterisk (*) wild-card character.
The SORT option allows you to control the order in which operations are displayed:
either by operation number or by BEGINTIME.
