TMF Statistics Gathering Process
TMF SGPs collect TMF availability information. TMF availability information is obtained
using the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) for the TMFSERVE process. The
availability information gathered is performance utilization and operational state. The
TMF SGP reports on objective thresholds when they do not meet the user-defined
values.
The TMF SGP gathers availability information, bundles it in a single message, and
forwards it to the ASAP Collect process. The Collect process unpacks the information
and stores it in the normalized ASAP database so the ASAP TMF command or ASAP
Client can retrieve it.
CSG
The Client Server Gateway works with the SeeView Server Gateway to provide a
bridge between programs running on Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows98
systems and programs running on NonStop OS systems. Through the CSG, client
applications have access to NonStop OS server programs (such as the SSG) and to
the HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL).
SSG
The SeeView Server Gateway provides a Client-Server Command Interpreter gateway.
The SeeView Server Gateway is a SeeView ServerMode script that controls a
SeeView process running in ServerMode.
COLLECT/ASAPDB
The ASAP database includes current and historical information about system
performance and the operational status of system objects. The ASAP database is
automatically created when the ASAP Collect process is first started. The Collect
process receives statistics and status messages from the ASAP and ASAPX monitors
throughout the network, parses the messages, and stores the information in the
normalized ASAP database.
The Collect process automatically maintains the database. The Collect process
includes database maintenance options that specify how much history to retain. You
can configure database history to only retain data since the last cleanup time; for
example, every night at midnight. Or you can configure it to retain ASAP history for a
much longer period of time, even indefinitely.
For more information about database maintenance options, see the SET RETAIN
command, SET DBMAXDAYS, SET DBMaxDaysToPurge,
SET DBRolloverSubvolPrefix, and the SET DBRolloverFilePrefix commands beginning
with the SET Command on page 251.
