Monitoring server activity
With IBM® Control Center, you can monitor servers, server groups, and file agents, and also view file transfers and processes.
Important: Depending on the server IBM Control
Center is monitoring, you can have
functionality limitations in IBM Control
Center
with that server. See the Release
notes to see what functionality is available with your server.
- Servers and groups monitoring
IBM Control Center offers alternatives for monitoring managed server activity, as well as options for drilling down into that activity. - Viewing server activity
You can view completed processes and queued processes on one server, a server group, or all servers of one or more types in the Completed processes and Queued processes monitors. - Monitoring File Agents
If a monitored Sterling Connect:Direct® server has associated file agents set up to submit processes to it, you can monitor those file agents if the certain conditions have been met. - Monitor this overview
Monitor this is a feature in the IBM Control Center web console that simplifies setting up monitoring for future transactions that are based on the existing transactions in the Completed File Transfers list or the Completed Processes list in the web console. - Viewing a list of completed file transfers
The Completed file transfers view shows the most recently completed file transfers that you have permission to view. Searching and filtering this list facilitates troubleshooting issues with file transfers. - Viewing a list of completed processes
The Completed Processes view shows the most recently completed processes that you have permission to view. Searching and filtering this list facilitates troubleshooting issues with processes. - Viewing process properties
You can view the properties that are associated with a process. The properties that are displayed depend on the server type and whether the process is queued or completed. - Monitoring processing against service level criteria
You can use IBM Control Center to monitor processing against Service level Criteria (SLC) in the IBM Control Center console. An SLC is a performance objective that requires processing to occur within a certain time window. - Viewing Process Statistics
You can view statistics related to any Process listed in the activity monitors. - Viewing process statistics for servers
- Clearing a process from the queued process list
In the IBM Control Center web console, you can clear process from the queued process list and complete it. - Deleting a queued Sterling Connect:Direct process
By deleting a process from the queue, you prevent it from ever being processed. - Suspending a queued Sterling Connect:Direct process
Suspending a process prevents it from being processed when it reaches the first position in the queue. Releasing it later ends the suspension. - Releasing a suspended Sterling Connect:Direct process
Suspending a process keeps it from being processed when it reaches the first position in the queue. A suspended process is placed in the hold queue. Releasing a suspended process removes it from the hold queue and allows it to be processed. - Managing Sterling B2B Integrator business processes
On the Completed process and Queued process pages in the IBM Control Center web console, you can take various actions on an IBM Sterling B2B Integrator business process, which include restarting, resuming, or clearing the queued process.
