Issue/Introduction

How to use the probe utility to run commands from the command line (including examples)

Customers need some guidance on how to run probe commands from the command line.

Environment

- UIM 8.x or higher

Resolution

Available commands for a given probe can be listed by running the base command:

...\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin>pu.exe -u <user> -p <password> /Domain/Hub/Robot/<probe_name>

Usage: pu.exe [options] <nim-address> [command] [data]

        -i    interactive mode
        -u    user  user name
        -p    password      password to the NimBUS
        -s    SID  a valid SID
        -t    sec   timeout in seconds
        -H    host  use probe host
        -P    port   use probe port
        -d    level  set debug level
        -L    list commands on probe <default>
        -I    show probe info
        -R    restart probe
        -S    stop probe

The <nim-address> should be of the form:

/UIMDomain/HubName/RobotName/ProbeName

To run a probe command:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin>pu.exe -u <username> -p <password> /Domain/Hub/Robot/hub get_info

To list all available commands for a given probe, in this case the robot/controller probe see the example below:

E:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin>pu.exe -u <[email protected]> -p <password> /Domain/Hub/Robot/controller

You don't need to specify the -L option.

...\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin>pu.exe -u <user> -p <password> /Domain/Hub/Robot/controller

This base command lists all of the possible pu commands you can use for a given probe, so for example this will list all the command arguments for cdm:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin>pu.exe -u <username> -p <password>/Domain/Hub/Robot/cdm

To restart a probe, e.g., the cdm probe, you can run a command such as this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin>pu.exe -u xxxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx /Domain/Hub/Robot/cdm _restart

or

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\bin>pu.exe -R -u <username> -p <password> /Domain/Hub/Robot/cdm
