Execution Progress <command name>

After you run a command specification or command on valid hosts or groups of hosts, DCEM displays the Execution Progress Dialog to show the current status of the command on all hosts. The name and detailed command sent to the selected hosts is displayed at the top of the dialog. Hosts where the command is in one of the following states are listed:

The bottom of the dialog displays output from the command on selected hosts. To display output from a host, select its name from any of the lists. Multiple selections made from the Successful or Failed lists result in combined output in the output window. To view real-time output, select a host that is currently in the working state. The Waiting and Working lists do not support multiple selections.

See the following for more specific help on the dialog:


Close

Selecting the Close button hides the Execution Progress Dialog, but does not stop the command on any hosts. If the DCEM dialog is closed any commands currently running on these hosts will be stopped.


Stop

To stop the command on all hosts, click the Stop button. Any command currently running on a host is stopped. Hosts that have been stopped move to the Failed list. Commands that have already completed appear in the Successful or Failed lists.
