Use Commands

The company I/O servers must be running to execute a command.

Important! The user that runs the command must be declared in the list of System User Patterns on Univiewer Management Server (in Univiewer Console, Administration mode > Security > System User Patterns) and has the required rights for running this command.

Features associated with the different operating modes are described below.

General Rules

To make commands easier to read, the character "\" (on Windows/UNIX/) or the character “-” (on OpenVMS) or the character "+" (on OS/400) can be used to wrap to the following line.

Key words may be entered in lower or upper case; case is only distinguished in verbs and text fields.

Dollar Universe objects must all be entered in upper case; for nodes and users, the case must be respected.

See also Commands Syntax.

Date Formats

From the 4.3 version of Dollar Universe upwards, all dates are entered or displayed according to the following rule.

The node setting U_FMT_DATE (General Settings category) defines the required date format. Its value must be built with the following components:

• YYYY: Year (four characters).
• MM: The number of the month, between 01 and 12 (two characters).
• DD: Day in the month, between 01 and 31 (two characters).
• A separator, chosen in the following characters: / or: or – or no separator. The separator, if it is used, must separate the three components of the date and not border them.

For example, to express the date "the 21st of June 2018":

• If U_FMT_DATE is DDMMYYYY, the date displayed will be 21062018.
• If U_FMT_DATE is YYYY-DD-MM, the date displayed will be 2018-21-06.

If no value is assigned to the setting U_FMT_DATE, its default value is MM/DD/YYYY for English and DD/MM/YYYY for French.

Note: The OS/400 commands UX*FLA and UXORDRE use the system date format and not the format indicated by the variable U_FMT_DATE.

On Line Help

On line help is available for all Dollar Universe commands (except uxset, uxspvjob, uxsurjob and uxalrjob).

The on line help displays the command syntax, the list of items, their format and possible and default values.

To display the on line help enter the command followed by "help". For inheritance variable commands, the online help can be accessed with the commands: uxset hvar, uxunset hvar and uxset inheritance.

Example: display the online help for a command

To display the online help for the command uxlst upr:

C:\Automic\DUAS\UNIV62_FRWPMDEV08\bin>uxlst upr help

Lists the uprocs.
