Starting a Monitor
Starting a Monitor
If a monitor is not executing, you must start it by using the START MONITOR
command.
On the START MONITOR command, you can specify the monitor configuration
options, but you should also alter the monitor configuration to ensure that those options
will be used if the monitor is restarted.
The CREATE MAPDB, ALTER MAPDB or ALTER MONITOR commands specify or
change the configured values for options to be used by a START MONITOR command.
For these to take effect, you must stop and restart the monitor.
Stopping a Monitor
The monitor process should be available for scheduled synchronizations to occur. If the
monitor is stopped, synchronizations in progress will continue, but none are started.
In normal situations, however, the monitor process should be stopped only when the
system is being shut down.
Use the STOP MONITOR command to stop the monitor.
Monitor Commands
The monitor accepts interactive command requests from AUTOSYNC. All monitor
commands are preceded by the MONITOR keyword, which instructs AUTOSYNC to
pass the rest of the command line to the monitor and then display the results.
Commands are terminated by the end of the line, not a semicolon. Multi-line
commands are not recognized.
