AppServer Refresh

The Application Server (AppServer) Refresh enhancement allows the users to trim and restart individual agents gradually to allow new agents to replace older agents. Users can issue a -refreshcommand form ASBMAN or WTBMAN to perform the refresh action. The refresh operation tries to maintain run-time capacity at equal to or greater than what it was at the time refresh started. AppServer Refresh can help perform the following actions:

Reload r-code

Trim file system allocation

Recover process memory

Note: The refresh action may take considerable time to finish and if you are using the App Server Refresh feature to load new r-code, you should be aware that the clients that were connected to the App Server, before the refresh action was performed, will have two versions of the r-code between the CONNECT and DISCONNECT calls. All the clients that connect after the refresh is performed will get new agents and will run new r-code.

For information on how to issue a refresh command and other details, refer to ASBMAN and WTBMAN.
