Checking Broker Server Status
In Eclipse
It is possible to check status of your broker server from Eclipse
itself. In the main window do:
- Select Window >
Show View > Other... and open Broker Server view.
- In this view you add IP address and port of your
broker server with (+/- buttons), in addition you can refresh view with
refresh button
View provides these information:
- broker server host and port (on example above it
is IP 192.168.140.130 and default port 2707)
- time of broker server startup (on 31 Dec 2009 13:16:20)
- range of ports which is configured to be used for
communication with GemStone (from 27070 to 27080)
- status of each port (in example there is one user using 2
sessions on ports 27070 and 27071)
In case there is no broker server process listening on defined port,
view just answers server is off line.
On Server
Currently server side process management is kept on minimum (see
chapter Server
Scripts for details). But it is possible to use standard Unix
tools to verify if there is process listening on port we are using.
For example if we start broker server on default port 2707, we can
check if there is any process listening with commands like:
- on Linux: netstat
-nlp | grep 2707
- on Solaris: netstat
-a | grep LISTEN | grep .2707
