Operations by the MaxDB Fault Monitor During a Probe

During a probe, the MaxDB fault monitor performs the following operations:

1. The MaxDB fault monitor determines whether the MaxDB database instance is online.

2. If the MaxDB database instance is online, the MaxDB fault monitor determines whether the parent kernel process of the MaxDB database instance is running. You can control how the fault monitor responds if the parent kernel process is not running. For more information, see Forcing the MaxDB Database Instance to Be Restarted if the Parent Kernel Process Is Terminated.

3. The MaxDB fault monitor determines whether SAP xserver is available. This fault monitoring supplements the fault monitoring that the SAP xserver fault monitor provides.
