Execution Progress <command name>
After you run a command specification or command
on valid hosts or groups of hosts, DCEM displays the Execution Progress Dialog
to show the current status of the command on all hosts. The
name and detailed command sent to the selected hosts is displayed at the top of
the dialog. Hosts where the command is in one of the following states are listed:
- Waiting
- Working
- Successful
- Failed.
The bottom of the dialog displays output from the command on selected
hosts. To display output from a host, select its name from any of the lists.
To view real-time output, select a host that is currently in the working state. The lists do not support multiple selections.
See the following for more specific help on the dialog:
