Automatic Stepping

The esp_client command line utility offers many options for automatic stepping. These commands eliminate the need for continuous single-stepping.

1. Advance a stream to the end of a transaction using:

   esp_client> step trans [`stream`]

2. Step a stream and all of its direct and indirect descendants until all of their input queues are empty using:

   esp_client> step quiesce stream {streamName}

3. Step only the stream's descendants until their input queues are empty using:

   esp_client> step quiesce downstream {streamName}

4. Step all derived streams until their input queues are empty using:

   esp_client> step quiesce from base
