- Subject: Idle exec - encountered problem
- Lines: 35
-
- Previously, someone asked for IDLE exec to forced inactive users
- off the system. Recently, I've encountered a problem with this
- idle exec.
-
- In our installation, we set the time-limit for idle exec to
- force users off for 30 minutes of inactivity. The problem
- occurs for users who are into VM AS. They generate a long
- AS report which send control to our SQL machine for processing.
- SQL machine will process the request and the id will sit idle.
-
- In normal situations, these ids will not be forced off as the
- processing by SQL will not take more than 30 minutes. However,
- at times when system load is heavy, SQL took more time to
- process the request and the users got forced off.
-
- Is there anyway where I can code in my IDLE exec to check for
- this kind of users?
-
- One method I can think of is to capture
- the console of SQL secondary user for SHOW USERS command and send
- the output to the service machine running IDLE EXEC. But this
- is not satisfactory as my IDLE exec runs every 5 minutes and
- we cannot tie down the secondary user.
-
- I also received info that RXSQL or cms PIPE can also help.
- Where can I get these? I'm running HPO 5, SQL 2.2, AS 2.2.
-
- Thanks.
