To use the user-reply functionality:
-
If a command in which a character string is specified is executed by means of a job definition script, the specified character string is issued as a JP1 event.
-
The issued JP1 event is transferred by JP1/Base to a specified operation management server.
-
The specified character string is displayed in the JP1/IM - View window.
-
If it's a reply-waiting event, the operator can enter a reply.
The reply entered from the operator is stored in a shell variable specified in the job definition script.
