reissues an OpenView message for each object in an error state. Once the
operation is complete, restart any OpenView Consoles to ensure that you have the
latest data.
Service Population Scheme
ASAP data is added to the OpenView Services tree view whenever you begin
monitoring a new set of NonStop Kernel objects. (For example, you start monitoring a
new subsystem such as RDF or the Spooler, you add new application domains via
ASAPX, or you add a new node to your ASAP configuration.) All ASAP data in the
Services tree view resides under HP NonStop Servers (ASAP) in the System
Infrastructure category of services. The level of detail that the ASAP OpenView
Adapter adds to this tree view depends on the configured population scheme. Choices
include populating all ASAP services, populating only services that contain
subservices, or populating to a fixed depth in the hierarchy. These options are in the
Service Population Scheme group on the OVO tab:
•
Populate All Services
If you choose to populate all services, all ASAP monitored objects are added to the
OpenView Services tree view. For example, if ASAP is monitoring CPUs on system
\Chicago, and that system contains four CPUs (00, 01, 02, and 03), the services
Chicago, Chicago\CPU, Chicago\CPU\00, Chicago\CPU\01, Chicago\CPU\02, and
Note. OpenView service, node, and message updates can take a significant amount of
time to complete when many objects or messages are added to OpenView. Some updates
might require several minutes for all data to appear in the OpenView Console. Ordinarily,
this situation occurs only when the ASAP Client and ASAP OpenView Adapter are initially
started or after OpenView data is manually reloaded. In those instances, the Adapter is
potentially supplying a large amount of data to OpenView. However, the updates might
also take longer to complete if you have a major outage within your NonStop Kernel
network. (For example, an entire system is taken off-line and so on.)
