Client Server Gateway Check Box
The Client Server Gateway check box controls whether ASAP is in session with your
host system. If this check box is not checked, there is no Host Session.
When you check this check box and click the Apply button, ASAP starts a session with
the NonStop OS host system through the Client Server Gateway (CSG).
When you enable the CSG for the first time, you might need to go to the Client Server
Gateway Options window to configure your TCP/IP or Async transport communication
settings. For general information, see Starting and Configuring the CSG on page 3-2.
For detailed information about establishing a Host Session, see the Csguser.doc file in
the ASAP install directory.
If you cannot establish a Host Session using the ASAP Client, use the ASAP Session
log and the CSG terminal window to inspect your Host Session dialog. Also review
your CSG Options to confirm host communication settings.
Retrieval Options
The None, Automatic (recommended), and Fixed Interval retrieval options control the
host data retrieval algorithm that ASAP uses.
None
To manually control host data retrieval, select the None option. The None option
specifies that ASAP does not automatically retrieve host data on a periodic basis, even
when the Host Session is enabled.
This option is useful when you are doing manual specific performance downloads
using the Download toolbar button on the main Browse window to view data at a
specific time of day.
Automatic
To have ASAP automatically synchronize its hierarchical database cache with the
database on your host computer, select the Automatic option. The Automatic option
also specifies that ASAP performs synchronized updates based on the host data
arrival rate from your remote host nodes (specified by the ASAP SET RATE
command).
When you select Automatic and a Host Session is in progress, the update interval
automatically appears in parentheses next to the Automatic option.
Automatic is the recommended setting.
