The offline tester can simulate command execution requested by the dc_adm_call_command function issued in a UAP. This facility is called the operating command simulator.

To simulate operating command execution, the user must first create the execution result data in an operating command result data file. Then, when the dc_adm_call_command function is issued in the UAP, the offline tester reads the execution result data from the file and returns the data to the UAP.

Figure 10-6 outlines the operating command simulator.
