because the primary system goes down, this save point becomes the receiver’s
restart point. The RTD for a receiver is the difference between the “last modified
time” of the TMF MAT and the timestamp that identifies the associated restart
point.
The RTD value reported for each updater process is the difference between the
“last modified time” of the TMF master audit trail (MAT) and the timestamp in the
most recent image record seen by the particular updater.
The RTD value reflects, in the most general sense, the amount of time by which
the backup database is lagging behind the primary database. In the example
shown under “Output Displayed” earlier in this command description, the specified
RTD time for the updater $RU01 is 0 minutes and 6 seconds, meaning that the
updater is running approximately 6 seconds behind the MAT.
On a finely tuned RDF backup node, the RTD for an updater can typically vary
between 1 and 15 seconds behind TMF processing. However, this 15-second
delay does not mean that 15 seconds are needed to catch up; that operation may
only take a few seconds.
•
Pri specifies the priority at which each process is running.
•
Volume and Seqnce together specify a file associated with each process, as
follows:
The monitor entry reflects the name of the MAT file to which TMF is writing
($AUDIT.ZTMFAT.AA000056 in this example).
Each extractor entry reflects the name of the TMF audit trail file from which it is
reading ($AUDIT.ZTMFAT.AA000056 for the master extractor and
$DATA17.ZTMFAT.BB000004 for the auxiliary extractor in this example).
The receiver entries reflect the names of the master image trail files to which
each receiver is writing ($DATA01.RDF04.AA000044 and
$DATA02.RDF04.AA000003 in this example).
The imagetrail entries reflect the names of the secondary image trail files to
which each receiver is writing ($DATA03.RDF04.AA000022 and
$DATA04.RDF04.AA000003 in this example).
Each updater entry reflects the name of the secondary image file from which it
is reading ($DATA03.RDF04.AA000020 for $RU01,
$DATA04.RDF04.AA000003 for $RU02, and so forth, in this example).
•
Rbyte Addr specifies where in the specified file the particular process is
currently reading.
•
Cpus specifies the CPUs in which each process pair is running.
•
Error lets you know if a process has experienced an error. If the column is
blank, no error has occurred. If the column for an updater contains asterisks
