The ccm message command communicates a
message directly or broadcasts the message to users who are running
a Rational® Synergy session.
Synopsis
ccm message [/attr value][/d|/database database_path]
[/rfc_address address] [/u|/user username] 'message_text'
Uses
Messages are prepended
with the name of the user who sends the message. To send messages
to specific sessions, use the /rfc_address switch.
Options and arguments
- /attr value
- Enables you to send a broadcast message to a specific audience
by specifying one of the following values in place of the /attr switch: process, display, pid, user, host, database, engine_address,
and pwa_path.
- /d|/database database_path
- Sends a message to all users of the specified database.
- You can use a regular expression to specify multiple databases.
The regular expression must contain a leading question mark ( ? )
character.
- /rfc_address address
- Specifies the Remote Function Call (RFC) address of the Rational Synergy interface
(GUI) process to which the messages are sent. RFC supports machines
with multiple IP addresses.
- The RFC address used must be the exact RFC address of the target
process. This address can be determined by running the ccm
ps command.
- The format for machines with a known host name is:
hostname:port:ip[:ip]*
- The format for machines with no known host name is:
ip:port[:ip]*
where [:ip]* represents
zero or more IP addresses separated by colons.
- /u|/user username
- Specifies the user to whom the messages are sent.
Example
Send a message to the \\joe\ccmdb\juno database.
> ccm message /d \\joe\ccmdb\juno "Server going down for repair
in 2 minutes."
Attention
If the specified /rfc_address is
for an engine, the ccm message command fails.
