Tcptest Command Messages

The following messages appear in response to the DATABridge Client tcptest command.

Begin processing configuration file "name"

This message, which only appears if the -v option is enabled, confirms that the Client is reading the specified text-based configuration file.

Bytes Processed nnn.nn KB of DMSII data in sss.sss secs, throughput = ddd.dd KB/sec

Bytes Received nnn.nn KB in sss.sss secs, total throughput = ddd.dd KB/sec

TCP/IP_time = sss.sss secs, (dd.dd of total time)

This message is displayed at the end of the tcptest command.

In the first line, nnn.nn represents the number of kilobytes of simulated DMSII data received. sss.sss represents the elapsed time (in seconds). ddd.dd represents the corresponding throughput.

In the second line, nnn.nn represents the number of kilobytes of data received. sss.sss represents the elapsed time (in seconds). ddd.dd represents the corresponding throughput. The number of bytes received is slightly greater than the number of bytes of simulated DMSII data as it also includes the protocol overhead bytes.

In the third line, sss.sss is the amount of time (in seconds) that the program spent waiting for TCP/IP data to appear from the host. dd.dd is the corresponding percentage of total elapsed time.

Client exit code: dddd[(nnn)] - exit_code_text

This message displays when the command completes. On UNIX, the 8-bit exit code is shown only if it differs from the actual exit code.

Configuration information read from binary file "name"

This message, which only appears if the -v option is enabled, confirms that the Client has successfully read the specified binary configuration file.

Connected to host, port nnnn

This message, which only appears if the -v option is enabled, indicates that the Client has successfully established a connection to the port on the host. host is the name or IP address of the host. nnnn is the TCP/IP port number.

Connecting to host, port nnnn

where host is the name or IP address of the host, and nnnn is the TCP/IP port number. This message indicates that the Client is establishing a connection to the host.

End processing configuration file "name"

This message, which only appears if the -v option is enabled, confirms that the Client has processed the specified text-based configuration file.

Server communications initialization complete

This message, which only appears if the -v option is enabled, indicates that the Server Acccessory or Enterprise Server has successfully executed the DBINITIALIZE API call.

TCP Test completed successfully

This message indicates that the Client has successfully completed the tcptest command.

TCP_Test: len=nnnn, count=nnnn

This message indicates the length of each message and the number of messages sent.

TCP_Test: nnnn iterations completed

The Client displays this message while executing the tcptest command if the show_statistics parameter is set to True. The Client displays this message after every nnnn iterations, where nnnn is the smallest value specified for the statistics_increment parameter argument.
