A new oninit option has introduced to IDS 11.50 that generate a return code. Based on the return code you can customize the script and automate startup process.
The 'oninit -w' command generates following return codes:
- 0 - when success
- 1 - when initialization fails or exceed the timeout value
The 'oninit -w' command forces IDS to wait until it successfully initializes before returning to a shell prompt. You can also provide an addition argument for timeout value with '-w' option. Without any timeout value with '-w' option, IDS will use the default value e.g. 10 minutes. If IDS cannot initialize within the timeout period, oninit generates return code 1 and writes following error message to the online.log file:
- Warning: wait time expired
The syntax of new command as follows:
- oninit -w
- oninit -w
You can use the '-w' option with combination of any other oninit initialization options.
Couple of points to remember:
- In a high-availability environment, you can only use the 'oninit -w' command on primary server; it is not valid on secondary servers.
- The oninit command returns success when sysmaster, sysutils, sysuser and sysadmin are successfully created.
