Conman commands

List of conman commands lists the conman commands. Command names and keywords can be entered in either uppercase or lowercase characters, and can be abbreviated to as few leading characters as are needed to uniquely distinguish them from each other. Some of the command names also have specific short forms.

You can use the conman program from the master domain manager and from any fault-tolerant agent workstation in the HCL Workload Automation network. On dynamic agents, the following conman commands are supported:
  • listsucc. For more information, see Listsucc.
  • rerunsucc. For more information, see Rerunsucc.
Note: The workstation types in the following table have these meanings:
D
Dynamic domain managers, backup domain managers
M
Master domain managers and backup masters
F
Domain managers and fault-tolerant agents
T
Fault-tolerant agents
S
Standard agents (you can only display files on a standard agent)
