ASAP 3.0 Client Manual

HP NonStop ASAP Client Manual Page 141 of 161
If the Rate property is not specified for a given entity, the entity sampling rate is
determined by the global ASAP server SET RATE value. The ASAP Client uses a
nonzero RATE associated with an entity to determine whether data for that entity is too
late (or too early). Late data provides an overall health indicator for a given entity or
subsystem because late data can indicate that an entity is down, hung, or that time of
day is not synchronized between different nodes.
If the Time attribute property for an entity has state determination enabled for it by
setting Graph True, the Rate entity property is used to determine whether data for this
entity is late.
If a Rate entity is not specified for a given entity, the global ASAP server SET RATE
value is used to determine whether the sample time for an entity is too late or too early.
This property is used for early or late detection, but does not affect the client if the time
property for an entity is not graphed.
Applies to: Client
Default: RATE 0
Examples
SET RATE 1 -- One minute update expected
Reserved - EDL Entity Property
Reserved Boolean
The Reserved entity property defines whether the entity is treated as a reserved entity.
Reserved entities are defined by HP. If reserved is not true, it is assumed to be
externally defined by a user or third party application.
Applies to: Client and Server
Default: Reserved FALSE
Example
RESERVED FALSE
SGPFile - EDL Entity Property
SGPFile Filename
The SGPFile entity property defines the object code filename of the SGP program that
is responsible for this entity. If the entity's SGPMANAGED property is not TRUE, this
property has no meaning.
Applies to: Server
