Re: Auto restarting iNav monitors

Thanks for that Bryan.

I got all this info while dealing with IBM support on iNav with a couple of
other issues. I will remove the &RESTART from the R7.1 server that I know
will go down tonight, and see if it comes back.

well done. I found the following in the V6.1 memo to users


5.14.8 Restart of failed monitors

In releases before V6R1, failed monitors were automatically restarted
only if the QYPS_AUTORETRY property was set on and &RESTART was
specified as part of the name of the monitor. In V6R1, failed monitors
are automatically restarted if the QYPS_AUTORETRY property is set on,
regardless of whether &RESTART is part of the monitor name.

I found something new in the last couple of weeks that I thought I would
share. I have seen Rob write about the monitors available in iNav, and
have been using them. What I missed most was an auto restart option if

the

system they are monitoring gets shut down an restarted. I have a server
that goes to restricted mode every night for a save, and I want the

monitor

to start again when the system comes back up.

I found out that if you include the &RESTART keyword in the name of the
monitor, and change a setting on the IBM i, the monitor will start back

up

when Management Central is restarted. The one caveat is that Management
Central has to end normally for this to work. I added the ENDTCPSVR *MGTC
command to my backup program, and a delay job, and things now come back
after being shut down.

The change to make on server side of the is to set a flag in Management
central. Use the following command "call qypsconfig

parm('QYPS_AUTORETRY'

'1')" to turn on the auto retry function.

This seems to work on my one remaining V5R4 machine (upgrading soon!), as
well as my 7.1 partitions. My IBM i Access version is Version 7 Release

1

Mod 0 Service level SI47412.

Just an FYI -
