Oracle JDBC for Rdb Controller
The Oracle JDBC for Rdb controller (here-on referred to as the controller) allows basic
management of Oracle JDBC for Rdb servers.
Contained in the rdbthincontrol.jar file, this application allows local and remote password-
protected server management operations to be carried out on a thin server or pool server.
These operations can include showing the clients that are currently connected, stopping
client threads, and starting and stopping thin servers.
The controller can be run either in interactive mode or single command mode. In
interactive mode you typically connect to the server you wish to manage and then issue the
management requests. When you are finished using the controller you can issue the exit
command to terminate the image.
In single command mode you provide command line switches to tell the controller what
action has to be performed. When the action is complete the controller image will
terminate.
The controller is typically used in conjunction with a XML-formatted configuration file
that provides information about the Oracle JDBC for Rdb servers can be run on your
system. In addition the configuration file may provide session information such as the
broadcast port information to use when doing poll operations. See Configuration Files
for
more information about configuration files.
The controller may be used to start and stop servers as well as other operations pertaining
to servers and connected clients. In addition the controller may be used to show the current
status of Oracle JDBC for Rdb servers running throughout your network.
Below is a sample session using the controller in interactive mode:
