Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Administration

Using the query option to check status

You can test your configuration and check its status by running the -query option on the NameServer and the WebSpeed broker.

To query a local NameServer, use the NSMAN utility, which is installed in install-path\bin:

nsman -name NameServer -query

Where NameServer is the name of the NameServer that you want to query.

To query a remote NameServer, use this command:

nsman -name NameServer -host host -port port -user user -query

To query a local WebSpeed broker, use the WTBMAN utility, which is installed in install-path\bin:

wtbman -name broker -query

Where broker is the name of the WebSpeed broker that you want to query. You can have more than one broker running on a single machine.

To query a remote WebSpeed broker, use this command:

wtbman -name broker -host host-name -port port -user user-name -query

The query reports on the broker’s pool of WebSpeed agents. For each agent, it lists a process ID, its port number, its status, how many requests it has serviced, when it started, and when its status changed.

These are the agent status types:

AVAILABLE — The agent is available to execute application logic.
BUSY — The agent is actively executing application logic (Web object) for a Web user.
LIMBO — The agent is in a transitional state. If the status persists, it indicates an error condition.
LOCKED — The agent is dedicated to a particular Web browser and is only available to the browser whose application locks it.
STARTING — The broker has launched the agent, but the agent has not yet initialized.
