Administering processes

You can start, stop, and investigate individual Network Manager processes.

About this task

About process control
You can check the status of Network Manager processes using the master process controller, the ncp_ctrl process.
Checking process status
You can check the status of IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus, and individual Network Manager processes.
Managing process dependencies
The processes that are managed by ncp_ctrl in the default configuration cannot start until the processes on which they depend have fully started. Incorrectly-configured process dependencies can result in problems starting processes.
Starting and stopping processes
You can start and stop individual processes manually or automatically.
Running processes remotely
If you want Network Manager processes on one server to be managed by ncp_ctrl on another server, you must configure both instances of ncp_ctrl.
