Dynamically Managing Kernel Client Hosts

Client hosts are the host machines from which client requests are sent to the Kernel. Entire Net-Work lets you dynamically manage your Kernel's interaction with client hosts.

This document covers the following topics:


Listing Client Hosts

Start of instruction setTo dynamically list the client hosts of a Kernel:

Make sure you have accessed the System Management Hub and that the Kernel is started. For complete information about starting Kernels, read Starting a Kernel.

  1. Select the name of the managed host on which Entire Net-Work Server is installed.

  2. Expand the tree-view frame for the managed host by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its name.

  3. Select "Entire Net-Work Server" in the tree-view under the managed host.

    The Entire Net-Work Server administration area of the System Management Hub becomes available to you.

  4. Expand Kernels in tree-view, by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its label.

    The list of started Kernels appears.

    Note:
    If the Kernel you need is not listed, it is not started. You must start the Kernel before you can proceed with these instructions. Read Starting a Kernel for more information.

  5. Expand Client Hosts in tree-view, by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its label.

    The client host definitions for the Kernel are listed in tree-view.

Viewing Client Host Statistics

Start of instruction setTo dynamically view statistics for a Kernel client host:

Make sure you have accessed the System Management Hub and that the Kernel is started. For complete information about starting Kernels, read Starting a Kernel.

  1. Select the name of the managed host on which Entire Net-Work Server is installed.

  2. Expand the tree-view frame for the managed host by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its name.

  3. Select "Entire Net-Work Server" in the tree-view under the managed host.

  4. Expand Kernels in tree-view, by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its label.

    The list of started Kernels appears.

    Note:
    If the Kernel you need is not listed, it is not started. You must start the Kernel before you can proceed with these instructions. Read Starting a Kernel for more information.

  5. Expand Client Hosts in tree-view, by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its label.

    The client host definitions for the Kernel are listed in tree-view.

  6. Click on the client host name whose statistics you wish to view.

    A panel appears in detail-view listing statistics about the client host.

Dynamically Disconnecting All Clients and Contexts of a Client Host

Start of instruction setTo dynamically disconnect all the clients and context of a Kernel client host:

Make sure you have accessed the System Management Hub and that the Kernel is started. For complete information about starting Kernels, read Starting a Kernel.

  1. Select the name of the managed host on which Entire Net-Work Server is installed.

  2. Expand the tree-view frame for the managed host by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its name.

  3. Select "Entire Net-Work Server" in the tree-view under the managed host.

  5. Expand Client Hosts in tree-view, by clicking on the plus sign (+) to the left of its label.

    The client host definitions for the Kernel are listed in tree-view.

  6. Right-click on the name of the client host whose clients and Adabas contexts you wish to disconnect and select Disconnect all clients from the resulting drop-down menu.

    A panel appears in detail-view requesting confirmation of the disconnect request.

  7. Click OK to disconnect all of the clients on the selected client host.
