RTR Management Station

The user is called user, the facility being defined is called
DESIGN, a client and a server are established, and a test
message containing the words "Kathy’s text today" is sent from
the client to the server. After the server receives this text, the
user on the server enters the words "And this is my response."
System responses begin with the characters % RTR-. Notes on
the procedure are enclosed in square brackets [ ]. For clarity,
commands you enter are shown in bold. You can view the status
of a transaction with the SHOW TRANSACTION command.

The exchange of messages you observe in executing these
commands illustrates RTR activity. You need to retain a similar
sequence in your own designs for starting up RTR and initiating
your own application.

You can use RTR SHOW and MONITOR commands to display
status and examine system state at any time from the CLI.
For more information on RTR commands, see the Reliable
Transaction Router System Manager’s Manual.

Note

The

rtr_receive_message

command waits or blocks

if no message is currently available. When using the

rtr_receive_message

command in the RTR CLI, use the

/TIME=0 qualifier or TIMEOUT to poll for a message, if
you do not want your

rtr_receive_message

command to

block.
