Starting a test
The test is started by first executing the nt application as shown below
nt <procedure filename> [mode=N] [+r] [t=instance name]
procedure filename
The filename of a root test procedure. If this is not a complete pathname, the file is assumed to reside in /specs/gp/ directory. Otherwise a complete pathname can be used
mode=N
This is an optional argument which specifies that the test begin at the specified mode rather than the ‘start_mode’ specified in the procedure file.
+r
This is an optional flag which is used to force the test procedure to jump to a new mode without re-reading the test procedure file. This is used only in conjunction with the mode=N option.
t=instance
The registered name of an instance of gp_test for which this command is intended. The registered name is specified in the header file when gp_test is launched. The default registered name is “test”.
