hispy command

The hispy command captures a host interface screen and makes it available to IVR Designer.

Synopsis

hispy n

Description

The hispy command does the following for a Session ID specified by n (which falls in a range from 0-10):

• Display the following message and execute the sb_te command with the appropriate arguments to allow the user to capture any screen by entering an Esc+B key sequence:

  Press ENTER to start sb_te and allow interaction with session n

  USE ESC-B to CAPTURE A SCREEN – USE CTRL-X to exit sb_te

• Append the captured screen to the IVR Designer screen capture file /lt/trans/sc/host_sc/appl.sc for the application currently assigned to the specified Session ID.

  Note:
  If no screen capture file(s) exist, for the application, any screen captures are placed in new screen file(s) /vs/trans/appl.vs and, optionally, /vs/trans/appl.nam.

• Allow the captured screen to be used later by the application developer to define screen identifiers and fields of the screen, and use the screen in a modified version of the application to improve host call flow recovery, login, logout, or transaction processing.
• Make all features of the sb_te command available for navigation through host application screens, and capture screens along the way.

When finished INTERACTING/CAPTURE screens in sb_te, you can use the Ctrl-X key sequence to exit from the currently specified Session ID. The hispy command exits after the Last/Only Session ID is exited with the Ctrl-X key sequence.

The hispy command can be entered no matter what state an assigned Session ID is in.

When the hispy command is processing an assigned Session ID, the HOST DIP (/vs/bin/vrs/agdip3270) is not able to access the Session ID.

CAUTION:
Use caution when using hispy on an assigned Session ID in transaction, logging in, or logging out state.

The hispy command is mainly intended to help application developers debug problems with the host interface portion of voice applications. Therefore, hispy allows the developer full freedom to manipulate a Session ID. If such manipulation results in placing a Session ID in an awkware/broken/confused state, use the hfree and hassign commands to fix the problems.

The hspy command is available to simply display the current screen of an assigned Session ID.

Typical uses of hispy include:

• Capturing an UNRECOGNIZED error screen never encountered before
• Capturing screen(s) that were never encountered before until an uncommon call flow was taken by the caller
• Navigating through host application screens, capturing screens along the way, to define a recovery sequence to add to the current application
• Testing and developing host call flows during development
