adv

Purpose:

Advance gp_test mode

Enter:

adv [registered_name]

Where:

registered_name

Optional. Specify the registered name of the version of the Test Manager to which the command is directed. The default is “test”.

Example:

adv

The above command advances the test mode of the gp_test procedure for the gp_test registered as “test”.

adv smoke

The above command advances the test mode of the gp_test procedure for the gp_test registered as ‘smoke’.

Notes:

This command terminates the current test mode of the Test Manager (gp_test). For test systems which use only one instance of gp_test test fixture, the registered name of the Test Manager will be “test”. Since this is the default, the registered name is not usually needed.

Some uses of the adv command include advancing the test to bypass the specified time or to get around stability criteria that have been specified but that have not been met. The command is particularly useful during the initial checkout of a new test procedure.
