monitorService

Defines the service responsible for monitoring non-interactive tasks and managing bibus » history objects in the content store. The monitoring service updates histories in the event of a catastrophic server failure. The monitoring service is also used to monitor tasks that are run in the background by the user for batch completion.

Unlike many of the other IBM® Cognos® Analytics services, the monitoring service is not responsible for running a task. Requests to run tasks that are sent to the monitoring service are forwarded to the service that can run the specified task. The monitoring service updates the appropriate bibus » history object based on the response from the service that is running the task.

The monitoring service is used by the agentService to run the steps that form an agent (bibus » baseAgentDefinition). The jobService uses the monitoring service to run the steps that form a job (bibus » jobDefinition class).

The monitoring service has an associated set of configuration parameters defined by the properties of the bibus » monitorService class.

Example: Connecting to the Monitor Service in Java

 
private  MonitorService_ServiceLocator  monitorServiceLocator  =  null; 
private  MonitorService_PortType  monitorService  =  null;   
public  static  String  MOS_URL  =  "http://localhost:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch"; 
monitorServiceLocator  =  new  MonitorService_ServiceLocator(); 
... 
try 
{ 
	java.net.URL  serverURL  =  new  java.net.URL(MOS_URL); 
	monitorService  =  monitorServiceLocator.getmonitorService(serverURL); 
	... 
} 
//  catch  exceptions

Example: Connecting to the Monitor Service in C# .NET

 
try 
{ 
	monitorService1  c8MS  =  new  monitorService1(); 
	c8MS.Url  =  "http://localhost:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch"; 
	... 
} 
//  catch  exceptions
