Testing Control-O/COSMOS Operations

A set of supplied demo Control-O/COSMOS databases can be used to manage a set of simulated Control-O/COSMOS objects. Actions performed with these objects cause actual messages to be issued, but are used to manage simulated objects, not the real objects in your computing environment.

Use the Control-O/COSMOS demo environment to familiarize yourself with Control-O/COSMOS commands and options without affecting your system, and to test modifications to Control-O/COSMOS rules before implementing them in the production environment.

Note: Simulated objects in the Control-O/COSMOS demo environment issue messages that are identical to certain messages issued by true objects in your production environment. To avoid inadvertently affecting objects in your production environment, if you already have automation rules in use at your site that respond to these messages (for example, startup messages), ensure that these automation rules are disabled while you are working in the Control-O/COSMOS demo environment.
