3 Running ASAP
ASAP is started from a single START command, and is self-configuring in terms of
what objects it automatically monitors when the configuration file is set up correctly and
executed. It also includes options to modify their default configurations. For more
information, see Section 6, ASAP Conversational Interface Commands.
To start the ASAP Conversational Interface (CI):
1. Type ASAP at a TACL prompt. Whenever the ASAP CI is started, it automatically
obeys the ASAPCONF configuration file. If SET APP ON is contained in the
ASAPXCNF file, ASAP/ASAPX interoperation is assured.
2. Type start collect to start the ASAP database Collect process.
3. Type start \node to start the remote ASAP and ASAPX Monitor processes for
each node you want to monitor.
