This publication provides customer engineers, other qualified personnel, and operators with the information required to use the Online Test Executive Program (OLTEP).
OLTEP runs online test programs, under OS/VS2, for the testing of I/O equipment.
This publication is divided into three sections.
Section 1 is an introduction to OLTEP concepts and terminology. OLTEP system requirements and restrictions are described.
Section 2 deals with the methods of creating and modifying OLTEP data sets cataloging an OLTEP procedure, and defining an OLTEP job.
Section 3 details OLTEP operating procedures including how to set up an MCS console, how to vary devices offline, how to invoke OLTEP, how to define and run tests, how to specify CPU affinity, and how to equate CDS device addresses.
Appendix A of this publication illustrates the format and syntax of a test definition and explains OLTEP options. One standard option - the default option FE (First Error Communication) has been changed to NFE (No First Error Communication). Following the appendix is a glossary.
The entire publication is designed for use by the customer engineer. Information for operators is contained in Section 3 and the appendixes.
Although the term customer engineer is referred to throughout the publication, execution of online tests is not limited to IBM customer engineers. Th information in Sections 1-3 of this publication is for all qualified personnel who wish to use OLTEP.
