Runtime tools

The runtime tools control and monitor connections, processes, and system information. The tools are:

  • Connection Dump

    Use this to check configuration items and compare thread configurations without using the Network Configurator.

  • Database Administrator

    This queries, manipulates, and changes the message transaction database. The database contains two states of messages: Recovery log and Error log.

    Both transaction logs are created and maintained by the engine.

  • Error Database

    This contains all functions available in the SMAT Database, plus the ability to see error state and error context. Transactions can be edited and resent as they can with the SMAT Database.

  • Network Monitor

    This controls and monitors network connections.

    All actions are saved to an engine output log and time-stamped. Use the log to monitor use and to debug connections.

  • Site Daemons

    Two site daemons, or background processes, are used in each site:

    • Lock Manager (UNIX only)

      The lock manager controls access to the error and recovery databases.

    • Monitor Daemon

      The monitor daemon monitors engine processes and threads.

  • SMAT

    Use this to configure to save all inbound and outbound messages processed by the engine. Use the saved messages to provide information for statistics or retransmission.

    SMAT saves copies of messages only when a message has been successfully sent to or received from a connection. If delivery is unsuccessful, then messages are sent to the recovery or error databases.

  • SMAT Database

    This provides the option to enable encryption, and is also available in Global Monitor. These messages are accessed through the SMAT Database GUI.

  • Shell Window

    This provides access to the command line, where all utilities and processes are available.

  • Site Daemons

    Two site daemons, or background processes, are used in each site:

    • Lock Manager (UNIX only)

      The lock manager controls access to the error and recovery databases.

    • Monitor Daemon

      The monitor daemon monitors engine processes and threads.
