Using SoapAdminCL with Implicit Multicast
Using SoapAdminCL with Implicit Multicast
After processing an SDL file (with addUpdate, add, update, or delete DeployOptions)
for TS/MP, the SOAP Admin tool queries you whether a multicast has to be performed.
(The text below in italics is the SOAP Admin query.)
1. Do you want to send administrative message to all the instances of a SOAP server
Pathway CGI? (yes)/no:
2. If the answer is "yes"
a. Enter the Pathmon Name : $PM
b. Enter the Server Class Name : MySoapServer
c. SOAP Admin reports the status
d. Do you want to send to any other SOAP server Pathway CGI (yes)/no:
e. If the answer is "yes," then go back to step 2a.
f. If "no," the SOAP Admin tool writes the messages to be multicast to the SOAP
server Pathway CGIs on the terminal. If necessary, these messages can be
used later to refresh the SOAP servers.
Explicit Multicast
The SOAP Admin tool can be used to multicast messages to the SOAP servers by
using a multicast switch.
pathmon name
specifies the name of the Pathmon process.
server class name
specifies the name of the server class.
multicast-message
specifies the multicast message.
file containing messages to be multicast
specifies the file name containing the multicast message. Each multicast message
is a new line.
The SOAP Admin tool multicasts the given multicast message to all the instances of
the specified server class for the specified pathmon. When specifying the Pathmon
SoapAdminCL -multicast[!] -p < pathmon name > -s < server class
name > -m "< multicast-message >" | -f < file containing messages
to be multicast >
