Getting Started with HPDPS
Verifying That HPDPS Processes Are Running
where
SupervisorName
is the name of the supervisor you want to check.
In the DCE Extended Environment, this command checks the complete
cell for the requested supervisor. If the supervisor is running, HPDPS
displays information similar to the following:
Server State Type
------------ ----- ----------
SupervisorName
ready supervisor
If the supervisor exists but is not running, you will receive the message:
5010-414 Cannot communicate with the server.
If the supervisor does not exist, you will receive the message:
5010-065 Cannot find the object
SupervisorName
.
If you have multiple supervisors, you can verify which supervisors are
running by entering the command:
pdls -c server -f "server-type==supervisor" \*:
Including the backslash before the global character prevents HPDPS
from issuing an error message and terminating the query should a file
exist with a name that ends in a colon.
Verifying That a Spooler Is Running
To verify that an HPDPS spooler is running, enter:
pdls -c server
SpoolerName
where
SpoolerName
is the name of the spooler that you want to check. In
the DCE Extended Environment, this command checks the complete cell
for the requested spooler.
If the spooler is running, HPDPS displays information similar to the
following:
Server State Type
---------- ----- -------
SpoolerName
ready spooler
If the spooler exists but is not running, you will receive the message:
5010-414 Cannot communicate with the server.
If the spooler does not exist, you will receive the message:
5010-065 Cannot find the object
SpoolerName
.
