Adaptive Server uses a monitor, the “probe” to that verifies the data server is up and running. There are two types of probes:
Cheap – checks if the OS process for Adaptive Server data server is alive or not.
Thorough – initiates a client connection to Adaptive Server data server and then starts a simple transaction to check the health of the Adaptive Server data server.
Use the standard resource properties Cheap_probe_interval or Thorough_probe_interval to specify the type of probe you want to run.
