Chapter 2: Using Command and Control Requests

Executing CNC requests from the Global Console

Some CNC requests and actions can be executed from the Global Console. When an agent is connected and displays a running e-Biz Impact server, the server can have more that one cluster. Each cluster has its own authorization database when you use e-Biz Impact security. See the e-Biz Impact Authorization Guide for more information on enabling cluster object security.

NoteBefore you can monitor cluster activity, the cluster must be running. See the e-Biz Impact Configurator Guide, Chapter 5, “Deploying Files and Executing e-Biz Impact Clusters,” for instructions.

StepsIssuing CNC commands on cluster objects

  1. On Windows, select Start | Programs | Sybase | e-Biz Impact 5.4 | Global Console.

  2. Log in to the cluster and provide a valid user name and password, select an object in the tree view, right-click, select All Tasks, then select the operation you want to perform.

  3. When you select the command, the Global Console sends a set of CNC requests to the bus. The bus delegates those commands to the subjects for which they were issued. The subject then executes the commands one by one.

  4. All commands usually execute a predefined set of CNC requests that automatically set the subject, object (if any), command name, and command parameters based on the context from which the commands were invoked.

NoteExecuting the action indicates if the bus received it successfully or not. Because the communication to the bus uses an asynchronous dialog, the return from the CNC action does not guarantee that the action was successful. The bus can be configured to sends alerts. Alerts can be set up to be raised when major events happen or by responding to CNC actions. Information on configuring alerts is available in Monitoring e-Biz Impact.
