HP Serviceguard Toolkit for SAP Sybase ASE and SAP Sybase Replication Server for Linux User Guide Version A.12.00.00

Table 5 Sybase ASE package attributes (continued)
DescriptionAttribute
For example:
tkit/sybase/ase/RUNSCRIPT
/opt/sybase/ASE-15_0/install/RUN_ASESERVER1
This attribute defines the input file for password of Sybase ASE.PASSWD_FILE
This attribute specifies the full path and name of a file consisting password of Sybase ASE
user for shutting down ASE instance, using shutdown command of Open Client server
through TDS protocol, and health check of Sybase ASE.
For example:
tkit/sybase/ase/PASSWD_FILE /opt/sybase/ASE-15_0/passwd-file
This attribute defines the Sybase ASE processes to be monitored to ensure Sybase ASE
instance is up and running.
MONITOR_PROCESSES
This is the list of all the critical Sybase ASE processes for an instance that must be running
to assume that the instance is up and running. By default, the dataserver process is monitored.
If the dataserver process fails, then the monitor sends an exit signal and the package fails
over.
For example:
tkit/sybase/ase/MONITOR_PROCESSES dataserver
If any process apart from the dataserver configured in MONITOR_PROCESSES fails, then
the monitor logs a warning message in to the package log file and sends an email. The
monitor verifies for any failed processes, and logs a message to the package log file. You
must make sure to provide a unique name to the process in the MONITOR_PROCESSES
attribute on the node where the package is running.
This attribute defines the monitor interval.MONITOR_INTERVAL
This is a time interval, in seconds, to verify the existence of processes defined through the
MONITOR_PROCESSES attribute.
The default value is 30 seconds.
For example:
tkit/sybase/ase/MONITOR_INTERVAL 30
This attribute defines the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a graceful completion of an
event, like stop of processes.
TIME_OUT
The default value is 30 seconds.
For example:
tkit/sybase/ase/TIME_OUT 30
This attribute defines the maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for an ASE instance
to complete the recovery. If the recovery fails in the required time, then the server has failed
RECOVERY_TIMEOUT
to start up. This value must be set to allow enough time for all the databases to recover and
come online.
The default value is 30 seconds.
For example:
tkit/sybase/ase/RECOVERY_TIMEOUT 30
This is the maximum number of times the database health check is done at single point of
failure before declaring failure.
RETRY_TIME
The default value is 3.
For example:
tkit/sybase/ase/RETRY_TIME 3
See“Example: Sybase ASE package attributes” (page 35) for the sample configuration file of a
Sybase ASE package.
