Dirk,

Thanks, that is some great info.  I am starting to wonder why our original
documentation listed aislog and central as required processes to be running.
As for the rest, we do not have a piapi directory under /opt or anywhere so
not sure what that means.  And some of your IABatch folders/files do not
exist under rbatch but all in all your info has been very helpful.

Thanks again...

Hi Joe,

We haven't got Unix anymore, but looking back through my notes this is what
we had when the foxapi was running ok (with PI) (After Ps -ef | grep api
command) opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi wrproc  /opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi om_poll
/opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi wrtimr  /opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi

As you can see we didn't have aislog and central either and everything
worked fine.

If you have PI and want to check if it's is running ok you can use this
command:
Setenv PIHOME   /opt/piapi
cd $PIHOME
cd bin
apiverify

We had IABatch, I remember we sometimes had to stop and start foxapi when
Batch was having problems (/opt/fox/ais/bin/aisstart)

Whenever we had problems with IABatch (never used Rbatch, so it's probably
different), we checked following:
/opt/fox/ais/bin/foxapi.log
/opt/fox/sysmgm/sysmon/smon.log
/var/adm/messages
/opt/fox/IABatch/cfg/<user>/*.log
For Unix, please copy /opt/fox/IABatch/bin/MsgDump to
/opt/fox/IABatch/cfg/PROJECT and run MsgDump YOURAW  > filename

Rgds,
Dirk

Onderwerp: [foxboro] FoxAPI/ais not all processes are running

Folks,
I have an UNIX Node V6.3 running FoxAPI (ais).  I am guessing this is the
OSI PI interface?  Every installation doc and/or HH I find states that after
ais is started, I should see the following 5 processes running;
     /opt/fox/ais/bin/aislog
     /opt/fox/ais/bin/wrtimr
     /opt/fox/ais/bin/om_poll
     /opt/fox/ais/bin/central
     /opt/fox/ais/bin/wrproc

On the host AW51E I do not see the following 2 processes running:
     /opt/fox/ais/bin/aislog
     /opt/fox/ais/bin/central

I find no explanation in any of the documents that would explain why not.
Any ideas why not?  What function do they perform?

Thanks

PS.  This and another issue (FoxAMI - email to follow) held up running a
batch (we have RBatch II).
