"conman" commands & syntax

conman commands are user to manage objects in PLAN (composer commands are used to manage objects in DATABASE)

Below are some very useful conman commands syntaxes grouped is several categories:

1. Jobs & Job Streams:

# display the stdlist (job log) of a specific job with jobid=job_number

conman sj "@#$job_number;stdlist;single" 

# add job steam scheduled time / date in the search query

conman "sj @#@ (0000).@" ; conman "ss @#@ (2204 05/25)" 

# count EXEC jobs, `echo "Yes"` before the command if conman parameters aren't set up

conman "sj @#@+state=EXEC;short" | grep "EXEC +" | wc -l 

# change job stream priority to 0

conman "ap @#JS1;0;noask" 

# change job stream limit to 0

conman "ls @#JS1;0;noask" 

# displays prompt messages

conman recall 

# displays information about files

conman showfiles 

# update windows user "username" password in the current plan

conman altpass username 

# display job details from plan

conman "dj @#@" 

# display job stream syntax from plan

conman "ds @#@" 

# display user launching the job

conman "sj @#@;logon" 

# display script / command used by job

conman "sj @#@;info" 

# display info using unique id for JS

conman "sj @#@;keys;extended" | uniq 

2. FTA Agents:

# change limit to 100

conman "lc @;100"

# change fence to 0, no ask

conman "fence @;0;noask"

# additional details about workstations (including netman port)

conman "sc;link"

# display agent version / fixpack and OS details

conman "sc @;info"

# to start monman, for event rules

conman startmon

3. Symphony:

# to check the agent health status (including symphony corruption)

conman "chs XYZ"

# to reset symphony of a corrupted agent

conman "resetfta XYZ"

4. Event rules:

# to list active event rules

conman "sc;getmon"

# to deploy the event rules

conman "deploy"

Control Characters:
You can enter the following control characters to interrupt conman.
Control+c   Conman stops executing the current command at the next step that can be interrupted, and returns a command prompt.
Control+d   Conman quits after executing the current command.

Wildcards:
@ Replaces one or more alphanumeric characters.
?   Replaces one alphabetic character.
% Replaces one numeric character.

Delimiters and special characters:
&amp Command delimiter.
+   A delimiter used to select objects for commands. It adds an attribute the object must have. For example: sked1.@+priority=0
~   A delimiter used to select objects for commands. It adds an attribute the object must not have. For example: sked1.@~priority=0
;    Argument delimiter. For example: ;info;offline
,    Repetition and range delimiter. For example: state=hold,sked,pend
=   Value delimiter. For example: state=hold
: !  Command prefixes that pass the command on to the system. These prefixes are optional; if Conman does not recognize the command, it is passed automatically to the system. For example: !ls or :ls
<<>> Comment brackets. For example: sj @#@.@ <>
*** Comment prefix. The prefix must be the first character on a command line or following a command delimiter. For example: *comment or sj & *comment**
>  Redirects command output to a file and overwrites the contents of the file. If the file does not exist, it is created. For example: sj > joblist
>> Redirects command output to a file and appends the output to the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is created. For example: sj >> joblist
|   Pipes command output to a system command or process. The system command is run whether or not output is generated. For example:  sj| grep ABEND
||  Pipes command output to a system command or process. The system command is not run if there is no output. For example: sj || grep ABEND
