The annotate command annotates the Transaction State Machine (TSM) trace stream with a message.
Synopsis
annotate [channel] "
message
"
Description
The annotate command sends a message to TSM requesting that the given message be put into TSM's trace stream. This command is useful for testing and debugging scripts.
If a channel is specified, the message is associated with the channel's trace stream. The message must be fewer than 160 characters.
The annotate trace message is displayed in the trace output if a trace is running when the annotate command is executed. If no trace command is running, the annotate trace message is discarded.
Files
