nt
Purpose:
-
Process a new gp_test specification.
Enter:
-
nt <test_procedure_file> [t=gp_test_name] [mode=start_mode_number] [time=timeout_value] [+r] [+i]
Where:
-
procedure_file
Specify the name of the test specification file to activate
or
if specifying the +i option, specify the label of the string variable that contains the procedure_file name.mode=start_mode_number
Optional. Specify a start_mode_number to override the start mode of the procedure.
time=time_out_value
Optional. Specify a mode time_out_value to override the mode timeout of the first mode.
t=gp_test_name
Optional. Specify the name assigned to the gp_test to process the new test procedure. The default name is ‘test’.
+r
Optional. Specify this flag to restart the test without reading the specification file.
+i
Optional. Specify this flag to change the meaning of the procedure_file argument. Instead of the filename, the label of a string variable which contains the filename specified with the procedure_file argument will be used.
Example:
-
nt gp_hotshut
The above command activates the gp_test procedure that runs a hot-shutdown cycle.nt hotshut mode=22 +r
The above command jumps to mode 22 without reading the specification file.nt Testfile +i
The above command jumps to the test procedure contained in the string variable Testfile.
Notes:
-
The nt command causes gp_test to read and start a new test specification file. If the +r option is used, the test procedure execution is modified without reading the specification file.
Use the ck command to check that there are no errors identified in the syntax of a gp_test spec file before running the spec file with the nt command.
