Command
RTRV-AO
Retrieves autonomous output.
Allows the operating system to retrieve a copy of queued autonomous messages or missing autonomous
messages. Examples of autonomous messages are REPT ALM and REPT EVT.
Users can retrieve up to the latest 1000 autonomous messages (alarms and events). Normally, users
should limit the retrieval to less than 200 messages to prevent alarm reporting and other active users from
being impacted. To retrieve more than 200 messages, it is recommended that the user saves the
autonomous message log to a file using the CPY-MEM command and then get the file through FTP
using the COPY-RFILE command.
If none of the stored automatic messages satisfy the selection criteria, then a complete normal response
is sent. If one or more stored autonomous messages satisfy the criteria, then the messages should be
reported in the normal response in ATAG order.
