To start the offline tester, execute the utfstart command. In the command, specify the name and option parameters of the offline tester environment definition file that defines the execution conditions.

Starting the offline tester activates the service groups specified in the offline tester environment definition file. A prompt (?>) for command input is displayed as each UAP executes its main function and issues a function for starting services (dc_rpc_mainloop or dc_mcf_mainloop function). Execute an offline tester subcommand in response to the prompt.

At offline tester startup, a number of service groups are activated at the same time. That is, a number of UAPs may run in parallel.

To end the offline tester, execute the end subcommand when the prompt is displayed.
