New and Changed Information
•
You can now secure clients settings. A Set Password button has been added to the
General tab of the ASAP Client Properties window. This button displays a dialog
box that allows you to protect various property sheets with a password (and lock
functions) in the ASAP environment. For more information, see the ASAP Client
Manual.
•
Client/Server EDL version checking is now performed automatically. A new EDL
synchronization dialog box automatically appears whenever an EDL version
mismatch occurs, allowing automatic EDL version synchronization. For more
information, see the ASAP Client Manual.
•
An Auto Restart Session check box has been added to the SSG tab of the ASAP
Properties window. When you select it, the ASAP client now automatically restarts
failed host ASAP Server sessions; for example, in the event of a CPU failure. For
more detail, see Auto Restart Session check box on the ASAP Client SSG property
sheet.
•
A new smart plug-in for OpenView Operations is included on the ASAP Client CD.

A process for gathering communication line statistics lets you collect availability
information for SWAN communication lines. For additional information, see the

The ASAP monitor has been enhanced to restart SGPs at a 15-minute interval
when an SGP is accidentally stopped or is in an error state.
