Display Memory Allocation

The header line displays the maximum number of request blocks, the number of requests blocks currently occupied, and the maximum number of request blocks occupied up to now. The current memory allocation (that is, all locked request blocks) is displayed. The number of each request block and the process which is currently using it are also displayed.

Display Memory Contents

You can display the contents of a request block. To do this you must enter its number.

Reset the IBM Error Count

If the gateway is running on IBM, connections where errors have occurred are marked with an error count, and not used again until the counter has been reset to 0 (with each initialization to the same partner the counter is decreased by 1). The counter can also be reset to 0, in the background or interactively, using gwmon. In dialog you choose the function reset error count from the expert menu, then you can specify the number of the connection you want to reset, or specify all. When gwmon -e <nr> pf=.... or gwmon -e all pf=.. is called the error count can be reset in the background for one connection or for all connections. gwmon terminates afterwards.

Reset NI Buffer

This function resets the NI buffer (it buffers the host name or IP address and the service name). This means that all buffered entries are deleted from the buffer.

Dump NI Buffer

This function writes the contents of the NI buffer to the trace file dev_rd.

Reset Trace File

This function resets the trace file. If the trace file has become too big, for example, due to an error analysis, the file can be reset.

Activate/Deactivate Tracing for External Programs

This function informs programs started by the gateway to trace their program flow. This function is required for error analysis. The file CPICTRC is created in the working directory.

Display Entry in Connection Table

This function is the same as menu option Display. See the information there.

Display Entry in System Table

This function displays all the information available on a system logged on to the gateway.

Display Entry in Work Process Table

This function displays all the information available on gateway processes.

Display Entry in Remote Gateway Table

This function displays all the information available about a gateway logged on to this gateway.

Display Release Notes

This function displays release notes on the gateway. This function is the same as the -V option in the gateway.

Display End of Trace File

The function displays the last lines of a file.

This function can be controlled with the following environment variables:

Display Trace File in the Editor

This function is for UNIX only.

The function displays a file in the editor.

This function can be controlled with the following environment variables:

Change Gateway Parameters

Using this function you can change the gateway paramaters in running operation.

Exit Registered Programs

This function closes registered programs. This function is also used internally in the gateway, when it terminates. Registered programs, which are waiting for a connection, are assigned the return code 18, CM_DEALLOCATED_NORMAL. A registered program that is running cannot be closed with this function.

Count Registered Programs

This function counts registered programs.

The number of registered programs with their statuses are displayed.

You can see how many registered programs there are in each status.

Exit Clients

Connections controlled by the gateway (external C programs, registered programs, remote gateways) can be closed. If a CPIC/RFC connection to this client exists, this connection is closed of course.

Exit Remote Gateway

Connections opened by other gateways can be closed. If a CPIC/RFC connection to this client exists, this connection is closed of course.

Display Load Balancing Table

This function displays the list of IP addresses defined for a weighting value. Each line consists of the following entries:

Index, weighting factor, and an IP address, whereby areas can also be specified with wild cards.

For more information about load balancing see Load Balancing for Registered Programs.

Display NI Buffer

This displays the contents of the host name buffer.

If the status is UNKNOWN, this may have the following causes:

The trace file contains more information.

Display Gateway IP Addresses

This function displays the IP addresses of the gateway.

Gateway monitor, connected to binmain / 3353

Gateway's own ip adresses

----------------------------------------------

[10.17.68.123] ls0302 (HOSTNAME)

[127.0.0.1] localhost (LOCALHOST)

[10.17.4.228] ls0302b.wdf.sap-ag.de (NILIST) .

Display statistics

The statistics are displayed provided they have been activated. See also Gateway Statistics.

Activate and Deactivate Traces

The functions are the same as those in the gateway monitor in the SAP system.

You can display or download the trace file, and change the trace level.

Display conversation ID table

A table containing conversation IDs with additional information is displayed.

Soft Shutdown

This function closes the gateway in a controlled manner. If there are still active connections in the gateway, the gateway is not terminated.

Hard Shutdown

This terminates the gateway immediately. No other checks are made.
