AX STATUS

To display status information about the Span Accessory, enter the following:

mixnumber AX STATUS

where mixnumber is the mix number of the Span Accessory. Once you enter this AX STATUS command, enter one of these:

• SMSG (from MARC)
• MSG (from the ODT)

  Span Accessory responses will appear in the system messages.

  The following is an example of Span Accessory in the process of extracting:

  #9936 DATABridge Engine: Extracting for CUSTOMER.

  #9936 DBSpan: Audit location: AFN=0 ABSN=0.
  #9936 DBSpan: Audit time= January 9, 2010 @ 10:18:05.

  The number of records skipped refers to records skipped because of a filter condition.

AX QUIT

If for any reason you don’t want Span Accessory to complete, enter the following command:

mixnumber AX QUIT

where mixnumber is the mix number of OBJECT/DATABRIDGE/SPAN. The AX QUIT command causes the Span Accessory to terminate at the next quiet point.

After you enter the AX QUIT command, Span Accessory displays the message Terminating at next quiet point. The number of records replicated and the number of records skipped is written to the Span Accessory report file (MSGFILE).

For example, if the Span Accessory mix number is 1234 and you want Span Accessory to terminate at the next quiet point, enter the following:

1234AX QUIT
