ROCKET or SIRIUS command
The SIRIUS command is used to control a session with the Sirius Debugger, to determine basic release and authorization for a Model 204 online, or to create a dump image of the online.
SIRIUS command syntax
SIRIUS [ALL | COMPLETE | DEBUG | EXPWARN | MAINT | SNAPLMOD]
The optional qualifiers are described below; the default is ALL.
ALL
The information described above is provided, as well as a list of all products for which the site is not authorized.
COMPLETE
The information provided
with the ALL qualifier is provided as well as a list of all
pseudo-products for which the site is not authorized.
Pseudo-products are not really products but control access to certain
commands and facilities that are not made available to everyone.
If the output from a SIRIUS COMPLETE is intriguing, contact Sirius Software
for more information.
DEBUG
SIRIUS DEBUG is an alias for the SIRIUSDEBUG and SIRDEBUG commands.
EXPWARN
Only products with impending expiration dates will be displayed.
MAINT
The information of the unqualified SIRIUS command is returned, except that no product authorization or expiration information is indicated, and patch space usage is presented in an abbreviated form. SIRIUS MAINT, combined with the DISPLAY EW ALL command, provides what should be a definitive “footprint” of the versions of Model 204, Sirius Mods, and Fast/Unload in use, and of the maintenance applied to Model 204 and Sirius Mods.
Patch space usage (comparable to DISPLAY EW ALL)
The patch space usage is presented in one or more lines at the bottom of the display. For example, entering the following command:
SIRIUS MAINT
Might produce the following output:
Vsn/lvl: 7.8/09A6/0DE8-0E20/1008-101A/11AE-11C4
The above display indicates:
Vsnindicates the version of the Sirius Mods in use; in this case,7.8.lvlis a series of "SIRP$ ranges", e.g., in the above:- Zaps using up to SIRP$ 09A6 are applied
- Zaps using SIRP$ 0DE8-0E20 are applied
- Zaps using SIRP$ 1008-101A are applied
- Zaps using SIRP$ 11AE-11C4 are applied
SNAPLMOD
This form of the SIRIUS command dumps, to CCASNAP, the contents of the Model 204 load module; it may be requested by Sirius Software to assist in maintenance. This form is restricted to System Managers.
