Monitoring the Application Sharing Server (RTC) 

Use

You can use the Application Sharing Server monitor to verify the Application Sharing Server configuration at setup, and to periodically check the status of the Application Sharing Server. Additionally, if you experience any problem with application sharing, this monitor may provide information that will help you troubleshoot the problem.

 

Procedure

Opening the Application Sharing Server Monitor

To open the Application Sharing Server monitor, launch the following URL: http://<Application Sharing Server installation machine>:<port>/streamingserver/servlet/streamingserver

For example: http://machine1.tlvp.sap.corp:50000/streamingserver/servlet/streamingserver

When formulating the URL, use the ServerName and ServerPort parameters defined for the Application Sharing Server. See Setting Application Sharing Server Parameters (RTC).

The monitor window will not appear if:

·        The parameters of the URL you used to connect to the server are incorrect.

·        The Application Sharing Server cannot be accessed from your location (due to incorrect browser settings or routing problems).

Trying the following may provide information about the cause of the problem:

¡        Unselect the browser setting Tools ® Internet Options ® Connections ® LANSettings ® Use Automatic Configuration Script. If unselecting the browser setting resolves the issue, then a client problem is indicated.

As well, if a portal client sees a blank window instead of the application sharing session in the Application Viewing area of the Application Sharing Console, unselecting the browser setting Use Automatic Configuration Script may resolve the problem.

¡        Ping the Application Sharing Server machine. If the ping fails, then a router problem is indicated.

·        The Application Sharing Server is stuck, and needs to be restarted.

·        The Application Sharing Server is not installed.
