Command Overview
•
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
$DATA17.ZTMFAT.BB000004 for the auxiliary extractor in this example).
•
The receiver entries reflect the names of the primary image trail files to which each
receiver is writing ($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).
If RDFCOM cannot connect to a particular process, RDFCOM displays dots (...) in the
RTD Time, Sequence, and RByte Addr fields and an appropriate File System error
number in the Error field.
RByte Addr
The seventh column specifies where in the specified file the particular process is
currently reading.
If RDFCOM cannot connect to a particular process, RDFCOM displays dots (...) in the
RTD Time, Sequence, and RByte Addr fields and an appropriate File System error
number in the Error field.
Cpus
The eighth column specifies the CPUs in which each process pair is running.
Error
The final column lets you know if an updater process has experienced a critical error.
If the column is blank, no error has occurred. If the column contains asterisks (*****),
the updater process has experienced a critical error. If the updater is performing an
undo pass for takeover or stop-update-to-time, the column contains undo. The
occurrence of a critical error could mean that the backup database is no longer
synchronized with the primary database due to data loss. If asterisks appear in the
Error column for any RDF process, you should examine the messages in the RDF log
file or on the RDF log device to determine what is happening and what corrective
action to take.
Asterisks in the Error column continue to appear in every STATUS RDF display until
the error condition has been corrected.
