ACMS Knowledge Module Commands

Each ACMS knowledge module (KM) provides at least one command. To access commands, right-click the entity icon and choose KM Commands from the popup menu. A few commands affect only the PATROL display or operation. For example, every entity has a DISCONNECT command that removes the entity from the PATROL display but has no effect on the process that is running on the ACMS system.

Most KM commands affect the ACMS system and are a subset of the ACMSMGR commands. For full descriptions of ACMSMGR commands, see the Compaq ACMS for OpenVMS Remote Systems Management Guide.

Because some commands translate directly into ACMS OPER commands, they can take quite a while to complete. Using SNMP, it is impossible to guarantee that a command will complete prior to incurring an SNMP timeout. The default SNMP session timeout is 20 seconds. (See Chapter 7 for information about changing this value.) Because of the timeout restriction, commands may complete with a message indicating that the command was issued but that the result is unknown. You can usually determine the status of the command when the PATROL display is updated.

Some equivalent commands are available from more than one entity KM Command menu. This is because all KMs may not be loaded, or because instances of an entity have not yet been created. For instance, START QTI and STOP QTI commands are available from both the ACMS-ACC KM menu and from the ACMS-QTI KM menu after those KMs have been created.

Table 6-1 shows the commands available for each knowledge module.

Stop Remote Manager Equivalent to ACMSMGR STOP MANAGER. Once this command is executed, PATROL can no longer communicate with the ACMS system.
Disconnect Remote Manager Removes the ACMS-RM entity from the display. This can be useful for refreshing the display. Note that ACMS-RM and ACMS-ACC entities always exist in pairs, so the ACMS-RM is re-created during its next discovery cycle if the ACMS-ACC entity exists.
Disconnect All for this Node Removes all entities for the specified node name from the display. Some entities are removed immediately and others are removed during their next discovery cycle.
