CART keyword added to OPER command

Troubleshooting


Problem

Products that retrieve their command responses based upon a CART token have no way to obtain those responses when AF reissues the command.

Symptom

An application issues a command via an EMCS console, and collects the responses to the command. If the command is trapped with OMEGACENTER Gateway, and then reissued, the CART information is lost.

Resolving The Problem

PTF UA36704 added a new CART keyword to the OPER command:

CART(xxxx) - Specifies an optional CART value to be used when the command specified is issued.

The CART value xxxx is 1-16 hexadecimal digits, leading zeroes will be added when less than 16 digits are provided.

When not provided, AF will apply its own internal CART value to the command.

CART cannot be used when RESP is also coded.

A new global match variable, AOCART, is provided for CMD and WTO matches. It contains the CART value from the command or WTO that has been trapped. Thus the CART can be picked up when a CMD is trapped, and that same CART used when reissuing the command via OPER.
