Stopping a UETP Operation  



At the end of a UETP pass, the master command procedure UETP.COM displays the time at which the pass ended. In addition, UETP.COM determines whether UETP needs to be restarted. You can request multiple passes when you start up the test package. (See Single Run Versus Multiple Passes.)

At the end of an entire UETP run, UETP.COM deletes temporary files and does other cleanup activities.

Pressing Ctrl/Y or Ctrl/C lets you terminate a UETP run before it completes normally. Normal completion of a UETP run, however, includes the deletion of miscellaneous files that have been created by UETP for the purpose of testing. Using Ctrl/Y or Ctrl/C can interrupt or prevent these cleanup procedures.

The effect of these control characters depends on what part of UETP you are executing. For an explanation of the organization of UETP and its components, refer to UETP Tests and Phases.

Using Ctrl/Y  

Press Ctrl/Y to abort a UETP run. Note, however, that cleanup of files and network processes in the [SYSTEST] directory might not be complete.

If you are running an individual test image, pressing Ctrl/Y interrupts the current UETP test and temporarily returns control to the command interpreter. While the test is interrupted, you can enter a subset of DCL commands that are executed within the command interpreter and do not cause the current image to exit.

Using DCL Commands  

The OpenVMS User's Manual contains a table of commands that you can use within the command interpreter. In addition, you can enter any of the following commands:

If you enter any DCL command other than those that execute within the command interpreter, the test does cleanup procedures and terminates, and the DCL command executes.

Using Ctrl/C  

Press Ctrl/C to interrupt a UETP run. You cannot continue the same test phase after you press Ctrl/C. UETP automatically goes to the next phase in the master command procedure.

Some UETP phases react to Ctrl/C by cleaning up all activity and terminating immediately. These tests display the following message when they are started:

%UETP-I-ABORTC, 'testname' to abort this test, type ^C
The phases that do not display the previous message terminate all processes they have started. These processes might not have a chance to complete normal cleanup procedures.

If you are running an individual test image, however, you can use Ctrl/C to terminate the execution of the image and complete cleanup procedures.

Note that Ctrl/C does not complete cleanup procedures for the cluster test.
