Replying to Requests

Some tasks, like backing up the system or storing a file on tape, require additional user input after they are started. HP Easytime/XL prompts you to load or remove tapes as needed. These prompts are called requests.

  1. Select one request from the Console Management screen.

  2. Press F2 A to open the Actions menu.

  3. Press R for Reply to Request.

    A dialog box displays the system request and prompts for a reply.

  4. Read the request and follow the instructions on the screen.

  5. Press F5 OK to continue.

    Or, press F8 Cancel to postpone the reply until later.

NOTE: Some request dialog boxes have a Stop option. If you press F7 Stop, you abort a task in progress (for example, backing up the system, or storing a file on tape) and delete the request from the system.

Printing Messages and Requests

  1. Press F2 A to open the Actions menu.

  2. Press P for Print Requests/Messages.

    All messages and requests will be printed on the HP Easytime/XL printer. The name of the print file is ETONLST.

Displaying Console Messages

Log on to HP Easytime/XL and go to Console Management, you can read the last 1,000 messages the system sent and any pending requests.

If you do not want to see all messages and requests on the system, you can restrict your view to a particular set of messages and requests, for example, those for a specific user or account.

  1. Press F2 V to open the View menu.

  2. Press V for Set View.

    A dialog box prompts you to type a set of messages.

  3. Type a set of user names and accounts. Wildcard characters can be used to define the set.

  4. Press F OK to display the new view.

    Only those messages specified are displayed on the screen. This new view will last until exiting HP Easytime/XL, or until the view is changed again.

Resetting View

If a view of messages and requests has been set, you can quickly reset it to view all messages and requests on the system with this task.

  1. Press F2 V to open the View menu.

  2. Press R for Reset View.
