| New TCP/IP Monitor | ||||||
|
||||||
| For Immediate Release | ||||||
|
||||||
|
NORTHWEST INDIANA/CHICAGOLAND, December 1997--DDL Systems, Inc. announces TCP/IP monitoring from within the ACO PAGER™ Message Alert System. The TCP/IP Monitor is a new feature that will detect the up/down status of devices connected to your TCP/IP network. If your iSeries is connected to the Internet, you can detect the status of virtually any device in the world. You define the host names to PING, and the TCP/IP Monitor will check the devices at regular intervals. If a device fails to respond, the TCP/IP Monitor will forward a message to a monitored message queue. As a result, the Message Monitor will perform the specific user-defined action such as paging a Network Administrator or notifying an Enterprise Automation System. |
||||||
|
||||||
|
The new TCP/IP monitor is also a great new way to monitor and perform heart-beat functions from your iSeries to Command/Post. Command/Post resides on a specific IP port and can be PING’ed by the ACO PAGER™ TCP/IP Monitor. The resulting responses are then sent to a monitored message queue, and once received, any user-defined action can be performed to communicate the event to datacenter professionals. Specific TCP system messages (e.g. "TCP3206 - No response from host COMMANDPOST" or TCP3210 "Response received from host COMMANDPOST") can be monitored and easily customized to meet your specific requirements. |
||||||
|
||||||
|
The TCP/IP Monitor can be set up to regularly schedule the PING operations (e.g. every 10 minutes, each hour etc.), executed by Command/Post automation scripts periodically, or run as a result of receiving a specific message in the ACO PAGER™ Message Alert System. In fact, the ACOTCPPING command can be incorporated into any user command/program or set up in the iSeries job scheduling system to perform the TCP/IP status check. |
