Hi, Customer running DEC/EDI V3.1A report the following little bug regarding the help text displayed in decedi_manage. # decedi_manage No option specified Usage: decedi_manage -option [parameters...] -sc <conn_id> [<job_id>] -- start connection -ec <conn_id> -- enable connection -dc <conn_id> -- disable connection -tc [enabled|error|locked] <conn_id> -- test Connection -rc <conn_id> -- reset connection -eg <gateway> -- enable gateway -dg <gateway> -- disable gateway -sg <gateway> -- start gateway -kg <gateway> -- kill(stop) gateway -tg [enabled|running] <gateway> -- test gateway -h -- display this help Looking at the syntax of the option -sc one would expect the job_id (IMPEXP, IMPORT, EXPORT) to be optional. However the job_id has to be specified otherwise no action will be taken. The same applies to the options -tc and -tg. Regards, Martin

| 3010.1 | job id is optional for non-job based gateways | SYSTEM::NELSON | David, http://samedi.reo.dec.com/ | Thu Feb 13 1997 08:25 | 12 |
> -sc <conn_id> [<job_id>] -- start connection
I believe <job_id> is optional because non-job related
gateways do not need this parameter. The non-job related
gateways are PEDI and OFTP. However, for gateways that
require jobs, IMPEXP and 3780 (Bisync), a job id is
required.
Please let me know if you and/or the customer felt that
the man page for decedi_manage didn't explain this clearly
so I can bug note it.

Hi David,

man decedi_manage shows the following:
Flags
-sc Sends a Start Connection request to the communications
controller for the specified Connection Id. An optional
Job Id can be specified for Job based connections, such
as those used by the Import/Export and 3780 gateways.
This looks like a contradiction to me. You state it is required, the help text
states it is optional....
It's not a big deal but some examples or a more detailed help could probably
take away the confusion.
Regards,
Martin
