Using the D NET,RTPS Command 

The D NET,RTPS command provides the ability to quickly perform a VTAM-based RTP (Rapid Transport Protocol) Route Test across the ‘HPR or RTPS pipe’ for any Enterprise Extender (EE) connection to a specific RTP endpoint. In most EE environments this endpoint will usually be the same destination as the previously defined VTAM Cross Domain (CDRM) and associated Control Point (CP). The new RTP data transport, however, uses UDP and IP between both endpoints instead of SNA.

The D NET,RTPS command syntax for z/OS V.1.2 systems is:

D NET,RTPS,TEST=YES,ID=punm4rtp

where ‘punm4rtp’ is the specific RTP PU name you want to test

The D NET,RTPS hyperlink command syntax on pre-z/OS V.1.2 systems is:

D NET,RTPS

The following examples show how a user would manually determine the currently defined RTP PUs on their system and subsequently perform an RTP Route Test. Alternatively, it shows the results of a pre-z/OS V.1.2 display of all RTPS.
