Andreas, Are you trying to determine how to get the current total number of peer-to-peer connections active for a CP from the command line for programmatic manipulations? If so, I am also interested in knowing how to do that. I do this by going into SMDH and selecting the CP of interest at the "Domain" level and then: Pick the "PERF" button at the bottom of the screen Pick "SYSTEM MANAGEMENT COUNTERS" Pick "TRANSPORT LAYER" View "CURRENT # CONNECTIONS" at top left I believe the value displayed there is the total number of Peer-Peer connections both "SOURCE" and "SINK" and that is the only place I know where you can get that value. Does anyone know how to grab that value from a command line without entering SMDH? I think I am right in saying that CP-30's and above can support a total of 50 Peer-Peer connections but only a maximum of 30 can be sourced, (sent from this CP to other CP's or requesting stations such as AW's/WP's). I think a CP can "SINK", (request data from other sources/CP's) from 20 other stations. I also believe that a "SINK" and a "SOURCE" to/from the same station only counts as one Peer-to-Peer connection but I am not positive about that. This is a timely topic for us since we have a CP-60 that has been running out of Peer-to-Peer "SOURCE" connections due to the fact that it hosts a common utility in our plant that many other CP's, AW's, and WP's constantly look at. When it runs out of resources the following message appears on the DM message line: "Communication Channel Unavailable" It should be noted that we are running out of "SOURCE" connections not TOTAL or SINK connections. We use /usr/fox/bin/rsom to actually view the source and sink OM tables being held by the CP. Info in the SINK tables are listed as "LOCAL" in rsom and one list can "SINK data from many other stations. "SOURCE" data being sent from this CP to other stations is indicated by "REMOTE" in rsom. Below shows how to access rsom along with typical output. Hope some of this is helpful and that someone else knows how to grab the System Monitor data.
