Monitoring a Domain

To detect any orphaned application server processes, a server process, PSWATCHSRV, monitors the application server domain. Every two minutes, PSWATCHSRV identifies and stops any hung or orphaned server processes. If any hung or orphaned processes are found, it writes a message to the application server log file. The PSWATCHSRV process is the first process to start when you boot up the domain and the last one to stop when you shut down the domain.

Domain ID Name

To identify orphaned application server processes, all server processes within a server's domain must be uniquely identified. Therefore, the system appends a unique number to the domain ID in the psappsrv.cfg file. If you refer to domain IDs in scripts or processes, you may need to change those to reflect the new naming convention.

The command line varies slightly depending on the application server process, but it looks like this:

PSAPPSRV -C dom=pt84_52692 ...
