MSGSTAT

Display input and output message statistics.

The RAVEN mainline program sends the AUTO6666I message every 15 minutes. This message is used by the MSGSTAT variation to write statistics to the console window. These statistics are the same as those that can be obtained by entering the AUTO MSGSTAT command. See RAVEN General Information for more information about this command.

In addition, the MSGSTAT variation keeps statistics on a message ID basis.
  • AUTO ACT/INACT MSGSTAT – Activiate and inactivate.
  • Statistics generated automatically from the AUTO6666I message:
    • Total of all input and output messages (this includes operator messages that RAVEN writes to the console window), and among which,
      • How many messages were suppressed
      • How many audio alerts (beeps) were sounded
      • How many messages were placed in the console held message area.
    • Total of host output messages:
      • Among the host output messages, how many output messages were blank lines
      • The rate of host output messages in lines per minute.
    • Total input messages sent to the host, and among which, how many input messages were entered by RAVEN and not by the operator.
    • Total AUTO commands entered (AUTO <command>). See RAVEN General Information for more information about the AUTO commands.
    • Total RAVEN output messages (these are messages that RAVEN and its variations write to the console window).
    • Total AUTO9999I messages (these messages are sent out every 20 seconds (default value) from the RAVEN mainline to all active variations and are used for timeout processing).
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT Q|QUERY – Query status.
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT H|HELP – Query status.
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID and AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID ALL
    • Display total number of host output lines.
    • Display total number of unique message IDs.
    • Display each message IDd, the number of times this message ID has been encountered, and the percentage of the total number of host output lines.
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID <number>
    • Display total number of host output lines.
    • Display total number of unique message IDs.
    • Display the top <number> message IDs based on percentage.
    • Example: AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID 10, which displays the top 10 msg IDs.
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID <message id>
    • Display total number of host output lines.
    • Display total number of unique message IDs.
    • Display only the specified message ID.
    • Example: AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID CPSE0010T
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID <message id prefix>*
    • Display total number of host output lines.
    • Display total number of unique message IDs.
    • Display only the message ids which begin with the prefix.
    • Example: AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID CPSE*
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT MSGID INVALID
    • Display total number of host output lines.
    • Display total number of unique message IDs.
    • Display only the message IDs that are not valid. Message IDs that are not valid are determined by using the following criteria:
      • Message IDs that are less than 7 characters.
      • Message IDs that are greater than 10 characters.
      • Message IDs that begin with a number instead of an alpha character.
      • Message IDs that contain non-alphanumeric characters.
  • AUTO C MSGSTAT I|INIT – Initialize (zero) the message ID counters.
