The HOTX driver suite contains the HOTR, HOTS and HS64 drivers. The HOTR driver tests the
TPF DASD supports by creating a 'hot record' (default using #HOTREC) to blast channels and
test cache. The instances created by the HOTR driver stresses the DASD system by
repeatedly finding and filing the ‘hot record’. The first time it runs, it allocates a 4K frame on the
system heap for the subsystem to store the information (8 bytes for each entry containing the
flags (run, stat, stop, ebrout) of all ordinals (0x00-0x13) of all I-stream (up to 24).
In the scope of HOTR driver, the instances of the HOTR (i.e. ECBs of QHT1), created by the
START parameter, read in the request from the status table and run accordingly. These ECBs
will keep running, accessing a 4 byte field in its ordinal of the target file/record, checking
whether the number in the field matches the number saved in the instances. They will increment
the number on both fields, file the record and start over again until they are requested to exit
(STOP parameter). The statistics information can be requested by the STAT parameter. The
parameters (START, STAT, STOP) compose the actions of the HOTR driver.
The target record stores the access information about the target record for all the I-Streams
(maximum 24) of all the processors (maximum 32). The access information is a 4 byte long
integer count number which is incremented and updated by the QHT1s every time they access
the files.
The HOTS driver tests the VFA
bit version of the HOTS driver. Both drivers set up the request in the status table on the system
heap for a specific ordinal. The QHT1s will enter the snippet segment (QHT3) if the HOTS
(QHT2) sets the flag (snippets, nosnippets, normal, state#, service#, fct mode etc.) in the fields
assigned to them in the status table. In the scope of QHT3, snippet is set up, the FARW is
ported from D8 to D7 and D6 (only 2 states need 2), the FLFAC that each state needs is done
and the find and hold record are done if the State/Service (detail in Appendix B) pairing needs a
hold. The SET SNIPPETS parameter runs all the combinations of the State/Service starting
from State 1/Service 1, 2, 3, ... pairs to State 14/ Service ..., 35, 36 then start over again.

Examples
The following example will set the flag to run the snippets with ordinal 0 on I-stream two:
ZTEST 2 HOTS SET SNIPPETS
The following example will set the flags for not running the snippets with all ordinals on
I-stream three:
ZTEST 3 HOTS SET NORMAL ALL
The following example will set the flag for running one snippet with ordinal 0 on I-stream four:
ZTEST 4 HOTS SET NOSNIPPETS
The following example will set state 2 for ordinal 2 on I-stream one using 64 bit HOTS driver:
ZTEST HS64 SET STATE-2 O-2
The following example will set Service 8 running the Functional Test mode:
ZTEST HOTS SET SERVICE-8 FCT
