The SIRIUS command is primarily used to determine basic release and authorization for an 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

See the SIRIUSDEBUG command.

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:

  • Vsn indicates the version of the Sirius Mods in use; in this case, 7.8.
  • lvl is 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.
