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.

  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.

  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.
