MONITOR
Purpose
The MONITOR control file entry applies to base AON functions.
The MONITOR control file entry defines monitoring of gateway connections. The MONITOR entry permits the recovery of gateways if status changes occur. One entry for each distributed host is allowed in the control file at the focal point host. One entry for each focal point and backup focal point is valid at the distributed host.
Syntax
- domain
- Identifies the target host domain.
- INTERVAL
- Specifies the interval of time used to check that an NNT session exists for the gateway operator to the domain.
- TIMEOUT
- Specifies in seconds how long AON waits for a response from a specified domain. If the TIMEOUT value is exceeded, AON initiates recovery procedures for the gateway NNT session by re-initializing the logon process.
Usage notes
One entry is required for each gateway to be monitored. On the monitor cycle, a query is sent to the distributed host with a TIMEOUT value. If the query TIMEOUT value is exceeded, automation then starts procedures to reestablish the NNT session.
Examples
In this example, AON determines that
an NNT session exists for a gateway operator to domain CNM01 every
five minutes. If AON does
not receive a response from CNM01 within 30 seconds, it initiates
recovery procedures for the gateway NNT session. If the NNT is not
active, messages are issued to indicate the status of the NNT session.
EZLE1IMN is initiated for the gateway operator.
