ccm message

The ccm message command communicates a message directly or broadcasts the message to users who are running a Rational® Synergy session.

Synopsis

ccm message [/attr value][/d|/database database_path]
            [/rfc_address address] [/u|/user username] 'message_text'

Uses

Messages are prepended with the name of the user who sends the message. To send messages to specific sessions, use the /rfc_address switch.

Options and arguments

/attr value
Enables you to send a broadcast message to a specific audience by specifying one of the following values in place of the /attr switch: process, display, pid, user, host, database, engine_address, and pwa_path.
/d|/database database_path
Sends a message to all users of the specified database.
You can use a regular expression to specify multiple databases. The regular expression must contain a leading question mark ( ? ) character.
/rfc_address address
Specifies the Remote Function Call (RFC) address of the Rational Synergy interface (GUI) process to which the messages are sent. RFC supports machines with multiple IP addresses.
The RFC address used must be the exact RFC address of the target process. This address can be determined by running the ccm ps command.
The format for machines with a known host name is:

hostname:port:ip[:ip]*

The format for machines with no known host name is:

ip:port[:ip]*

where [:ip]* represents zero or more IP addresses separated by colons.

/u|/user username
Specifies the user to whom the messages are sent.

Example

Send a message to the \\joe\ccmdb\juno database.

> ccm message /d \\joe\ccmdb\juno "Server going down for repair 
in 2 minutes."

Attention

If the specified /rfc_address is for an engine, the ccm message command fails.
