AccordSTAR Application Manager
AccordSTAR Application Manager gives Application administrators the ability to
monitor and optimally modify the behavior of your AccordSTAR Generated
distributed applications in their particular networking environment.
For example, if a server process on host A is not responding to a
client request, then the client can be instructed to send that
particular request to another instance of server process on host B, etc.
Application Management is accomplished by monitoring and modifying
sets of runtime attribute lists of the generated applications using
AccordSTAR Manager GUI. There are two types of attribute lists, a default
or common attribute
list which applies to all IFCs and a dedicated attribute list which
applies to each IFC in the CIDL Specification.
At runtime, if an attribute value in the dedicated attribute list
for a particular IFC is not set, then it will use the
default attribute list.
The complete set of IFC attributes are as follows:
- IFC_HOSTNAME - Server Hostname
- IFC_PROGNUM - Program Number
- IFC_VERSNUM - Version Number
- IFC_CSNAME - Client or Server Application Name
- IFC_NAME - Inter or Intra Process Function Name
- IFC_USERDATA - User Defined Data
- IFC_CACHE_TIME - Cache Time
- IFC_RETRY_TIME - Retry Time
- IFC_WAIT_TIME - Wait Time
- IFC_ERRHNDLR - Error/Recovery Handler
- IFC_TRANSPORT - Transport Selection
- IFC_THREADS - Threads
- IFC_XID - RPC Transaction Id
- IFC_CTRLFUNC_A - Application Control Function A
- IFC_CTRLFUNC_B - Application Control Function B
- IFC_FPRINTF - Fprintf Messages for logging
- IFC_ENCRYPT - Encrypt Messages
- IFC_MANAGER - Application Manager Name
Above attributes can managed by ifc_get and ifc_set functions.
See instructions on how to test drive the
AccordSTAR Application Manager.
Note: The AccordSTAR Application Manager GUI is in the process of being
converted to Java based GUI.
