ASAP 3.2 Server Manual

HP NonStop ASAP Server Manual Page 283 of 381
REMOTESECURITY ON | OFF
defines whether remote passwords are checked when shutting down a remote
ASAP monitored node or when obtaining status information about a remote ASAP
monitored node. SET REMOTESECURITY OFF bypasses RemotePassword
security checks. SET REMOTESECURITY ON forces RemotePassword checking
of any remote node. The default is ON.
RETAIN option
defines the action to be performed against the database at cleantime.
ALL
retains all records indefinitely. The files eventually become full unless you take
manual action, such as doing a manual FUP PURGEDATA.
ROLLOVER
renames file Zmmddxxx, where mmdd is the month and day when the files are
renamed and xxx is the generic file name of the database file. ROLLOVER is
the default RETAIN option. Any active ASAP CI process that is executing while
the database rollover occurs switches to the latest ASAP database files after
some user interaction occurs such as pressing the Return key (CR LF).
NONE
purges all data in the existing database at cleantime.
number
defines the number of most recent database records to keep.
The default is NONE.
Examples
This example keeps ASAP database files for historic purposes:
+SET RETAIN ROLLOVER
+STARTUP COLLECT
The RETAIN number option can have a negative performance impact in networks
that monitor large numbers of nodes in a database. This occurs when it becomes
necessary to process large numbers of statistics records in the database.
SLEEPTIME time, time
defines the time range (hhmm,hhmm) when statistics collection does not occur.
Although statistics collection ceases, the ASAP system remains active. Shutting
