Verifying That HPDPS Processes Are Running

Using SAM to Verify HPDPS Processes

When you select any of the HPDPS subareas in SAM, the following occurs:

	NOTE: If you are using the DCE Extended Environment, SAM checks if you are logged into DCE, and if not, displays a dialog box that will allow you to log in to DCE.

Verifying That the HPDPS Client Daemon Is Running at the Command Line

HPDPS requires that the client daemon process, pdclientd, is running.

To verify that the daemon is running, enter:

pdstartclient -q

If the HPDPS client daemon is running, you will receive the following message:

5010-315 The HPDPS daemon is already running.

If the HPDPS daemon is not running, you will not receive any feedback.

Verifying That a Supervisor Is Running

To verify that an HPDPS supervisor is running, enter:

pdls -c server SupervisorName

where SupervisorName is the name of the supervisor you want to check. In the DCE Extended Environment, this command checks the complete cell for the requested supervisor. If the supervisor is running, HPDPS displays information similar to the following:

Server           State  Type
------------     -----  ----------
SupervisorName     ready  supervisor

If the supervisor exists but is not running, you will receive the message:

5010-414 Cannot communicate with the server.

If the supervisor does not exist, you will receive the message:

5010-065 Cannot find the object SupervisorName.

If you have multiple supervisors, you can verify which supervisors are running by entering the command:

pdls -c server -f "server-type==supervisor" \*:

Including the backslash before the global character prevents HPDPS from issuing an error message and terminating the query should a file exist with a name that ends in a colon.

Verifying That a Spooler Is Running

To verify that an HPDPS spooler is running, enter:

pdls -c server SpoolerName

where SpoolerName is the name of the spooler that you want to check. In the DCE Extended Environment, this command checks the complete cell for the requested spooler.

If the spooler is running, HPDPS displays information similar to the following:

Server        State  Type
----------    -----  -------
SpoolerName    ready  spooler

If the spooler exists but is not running, you will receive the message:

5010-414 Cannot communicate with the server.

If the spooler does not exist, you will receive the message:

5010-065 Cannot find the object SpoolerName.

If you have multiple spoolers, you can verify which spoolers are running by entering the command:

pdls -c server -f "server-type==spooler" \*:
