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.

Note: The D NET,RTPS command remains valid on any z/OS system as well.
To use the D NET,RTPS command under the Expert-Assist Interface, perform the following steps:
1. From the Commands main menu, click the D Net,RTPS hyperlink.
The RTPS screen displays:
2. From the menu in the RTPS screen, select either RTPS Pipe Information or HPR Route Test.
3. Do one of the following:
