Changing Client Preference Settings

When a user changes some aspect of the MWTM client, such as the size of a window, or the order of columns in a window, the MWTM makes note of the user's preferences on the MWTM client and server. The MWTM saves the user's preferences to the MWTM server when the MWTM client exits.

Thereafter, whenever the user launches the MWTM client, the MWTM searches for the user's preferences. If the MWTM finds the user's preferences on the MWTM server, the MWTM launches the MWTM client with those preferences. Otherwise, the MWTM launches the MWTM client with the default preferences file.

In addition to the user preferences that the MWTM automatically saves, you use the MWTM to change many GUI, data, topology, and table settings that affect the way the MWTM presents its information.

---

Note Anyone who uses the MWTM client can change its preference settings, and the changes affect all views running on this client.

---

To change overall MWTM preference settings, choose Edit > Preferences from the MWTM client main menu. The MWTM displays the Preferences window.

Even if you apply preferences and close the Preferences window, the topology map does not show the new spacing factor until you choose Topology Tools > Layout > Spring, or click the Spring Layout button.
Show Mouse Overs	Specifies whether tooltips are enabled in topology maps. Checked is the default.
Draw Connections When Dragging a Node	Specifies whether the MWTM draws connection lines in the topology map as you move nodes: •Check if you want the MWTM to draw the associated connection lines dynamically as you move a node. •Uncheck if you do not want the MWTM to draw the associated connection lines until after you have finished moving a node. Unchecked is the default.
Show Small SS7 Icons (ITP only)	Specifies the size of the SS7 icons in the topology map: •Uncheck if you want the MWTM to display large SS7 icons. Unchecked is the default. •Check if you want the MWTM to display small SS7 icons. This setting can save space in the topology map, making it easier to read.
Show Non-ITP Nodes (ITP only)	Specifies whether the MWTM should display non-ITP nodes and linksets in the topology map: •Check if you want the MWTM to display non-ITP nodes and linksets in the topology map. Checked is the default. •Uncheck if you want the MWTM to hide non-ITP nodes and linksets in the topology map. (The navigation tree still shows the hidden signaling points and linksets.)
Show Point Code and Node Name (ITP only)	Specifies whether the MWTM should display point codes as well as node names in the topology map: •Uncheck if you want the MWTM to display point codes but not node names. Unchecked is the default. •Check if you want the MWTM to display both point codes and node names.
X Performance Enhancer (AntiAliasing Off)	Specifies whether antialiasing is turned on in the topology map. Antialiasing, which is on by default, improves the appearance of the icons and connections in the map. However, antialiasing can impact the performance of the MWTM client on a remote workstation (that is, a Solaris or Linux workstation by using xhost, or a Windows workstation using an X-Window system emulator such as eXceed or Reflection X). •Uncheck if you want to turn on antialiasing in the topology map. Unchecked is the default. •Check if you want to turn off antialiasing. Remember that performance is always better if you access the MWTM by installing the MWTM client on the remote workstation.

Changing Deploy Settings

---

Note Deploy settings are only for ITP networks. If you configure the MWTM to manage ITP networks, the deploy settings will appear in the Preferences window. You customize the MWTM to manage ITP networks during installation. You can also do this later by command (see mwtm manage, page B-40).

---

If you turn on the terminal monitor during activation, detailed activation error messages appear in the connection log. These messages can be useful if activation fails. However, all node console logging messages also appear in the connection log; so, many nonactivation messages might also appear. The default is checked.
Turn Off All Debug Output Before Turning On Term Monitor	Indicates whether debug messages should appear in the connection log. The default is checked. If you check the Turn On Term Monitor During File Activation check box, all node console logging messages appear, including all debug messages that are currently enabled on the node.
Turn Off All Debug Output Before Turning On Term Monitor (continued)	You can then check the Turn Off All Debug Output Before Turning On Term Monitor check box to turn off all debug messages. This setting can reduce the number of nonactivation messages in the connection log. The default is checked. Note The MWTM does not turn the debug messages back on after activation. Ensure that other users are not debugging on the node before checking this check box. This check box is dimmed unless you check the Turn On Term Monitor During File Activation check box.
Synchronize Active and Standby Storage If Node Is Configured as Redundancy Mode	Cisco 7507, 7513, and 7600 series routers support redundancy, which requires synchronization of the active and all standby storage devices. If you want the MWTM to use a node's configured redundancy mode to determine whether the MWTM should replicate storage operations (such as creating files, uploading, deleting, and so on) among the active and all standby storage devices, click this radio button. Note This radio button is mutually exclusive with the Synchronize Active and Standby Storage If Node Is Operating in Redundancy Mode and Do Not Synchronize Active and Standby Storage radio buttons.
Synchronize Active and Standby Storage If Node Is Operating in Redundancy Mode	If you want the MWTM to use a node's operating redundancy mode to determine whether the MWTM should replicate storage operations (such as creating files, uploading, deleting, and so on) among the active and all standby storage devices, in the right pane click this radio button. The default is clicked.

Do Not Synchronize Active and Standby Storage	If you want the MWTM to perform storage operations only on the active storage device (that is, no automatic synchronization of active and standby storage devices), click this radio button. Clicking this radio button requires you to manually synchronize the active and standby storage devices. This radio button is mutually exclusive with these radio buttons: •Synchronize Active and Standby Storage If ITP Is Configured as Redundancy Mode •Synchronize Active and Standby Storage If ITP Is Operating in Redundancy Mode
Enable Auto Refresh Node Storage In Node File Management Dialog	Indicates whether the Node File Management dialog box should refresh storage device content automatically at user-defined intervals. Clicking this check box enables the Node File Management dialog box to detect any updates made to the file system. In addition, you can configure the node to disconnect idle connection sessions. If you check this check box, the MWTM automatically generates node operations at the user-defined interval, which prevents disconnection of the session by the node. The default is unchecked. To enable the automatic refresh, check this check box, then specify a Refresh Interval. The valid range is 1 seconds to an unlimited number of seconds. The default interval is 60 seconds.
Always Overwrite Existing File In Deployment Wizard	Indicates whether the Deployment Wizard should overwrite an existing file with the same filename automatically, without prompting the user. The default is unchecked.
Always Skip Archive Comments	Indicates whether the Deployment Wizard should skip archive comments. The default is unchecked. This check box appears only if deploy comments are set to optional. For details, see mwtm deploycomments, page B-95. If deploy comments are set to required, this check box does not appear.
Always Activate Deployed File In Deployment Wizard	Indicates whether the Deployment Wizard should activate the deployed file automatically, without prompting the user. The default is unchecked.
Command Timeout in Seconds	Indicates how long, in seconds, an MWTM client with a session to a node should wait for a response from the node before closing the session. The valid range is 1 second to an unlimited number of seconds. The default is 90 seconds.

Finding Information in a Window

Sometimes, finding information, such as a node name or event text, in a long list can be difficult. You can use the MWTM client to search for a specific character string in windows that contain lots of information.

---

Note To find a specific object in the topology window, see Finding an Object, page 10-16.

---

To find a character string, choose Edit > Find from the MWTM main menu. This menu option is available when you select from the navigation tree:

•Active Alarms

•Event History

•Any object under Summary Lists

The MWTM displays the Find dialog box.

---

Note The Find dialog box also appears when you choose File > Find from the Route Table Editor dialog box (Chapter 13, "Editing an ITP Route Table File").

---

The Find dialog box contains:

Field or Button	Description
What	Character string for which the MWTM should search in the window. This can be any character string: all or part of a node name, event text, status, and so on.
Match Case	Check box used to indicate whether the MWTM should search for only character strings that match the case of the text in the What field. To search with: •Case-matching on, select this check box. •Case-matching off, clear this check box. This is the default setting.
Search Forward	Indicates whether the MWTM should search forward (down and to the right) in the window. This radio button is mutually exclusive with the Search Backward button. The default is checked.
Search Backward	Indicates whether the MWTM should search backward (up and to the left) in the window. This radio button is mutually exclusive with the Search Forward button. The default is unchecked.
Find	Launches the search. If: •It finds a matching character string in the window, the MWTM highlights the first line that contains the string. To find the next occurrence of the string, click Find again. You can continue to click Find until you find no more matches in the window. At that time, the MWTM displays an appropriate message in the dialog box, such as: Bottom of table reached. •No matching character string is found, the MWTM displays an appropriate message in the dialog box.
Close	Closes the Find dialog box when you finish searching.

Navigating Table Columns

You can resize, sort, or hide the columns in some tables in the MWTM to meet your specific needs. The MWTM client automatically saves your new settings and, thereafter, launches the client with the new settings.

---

Note Hiding table columns is possible in the MWTM client and web interfaces. Resizing table columns is possible only in the client interface. In the web interface, you can search for specific information and page through long tables by using its search and paging features (see MWTM Web Interface Content Area, page 11-4).

---

•To view a tooltip for each column in the table, place the cursor over a column heading. If a cell is too small to show all of its text, place the cursor over the cell to see the full text of the tooltip.

•To make a column wider or narrower in the MWTM client interface, click the column divider in the heading and move the divider to the right or left while holding down the left or right mouse button.

All Components or Recent Events tables in the MWTM main window reflect changes that you make to any object's Components or Recent events table. The Show in New window or Real-Time Data and Charts windows do not reflect the changes, however.

Depending on your system, as well as other factors, MWTM windows can sometimes appear so small that text is illegible, and columns and text entry fields too narrow to be usable. If this happens, resize the window and widen the individual columns until the information is again legible and the columns and text entry fields are usable.

•By default, the MWTM displays most of the columns in tables, but some columns may be hidden. To:

–Display hidden columns, right-click in the table heading and select the check boxes for the columns you want to display. If you are using the web interface, click the Apply button.

–Hide columns, right-click in the table heading and clear the check boxes for the columns you want to hide. If you are using the web interface, click the Apply button.

All Components or Recent Events tables in the MWTM main window reflect changes that you make to any object's Components or Recent events table. The Show in New window or Real-Time Data and Charts windows do not reflect the changes, however.

•To sort a table based on the data in a column, left-click in the column heading. The MWTM alpha-numerically sorts the table from top to bottom, based on the data in the chosen column. To sort the table in reverse order, left-click in the column heading a second time. If two entries in the chosen column are identical, the MWTM sorts those rows based on the data in the remaining table columns, moving left to right.

•The tables in the web interface display an icon in the column heading to indicate the column on which the table is sorted, and the direction of the sort. The icon displays a triangle() if the sort order is ascending (1-9, A-Z), and an inverted triangle () if the sort order is descending (Z-A, 9-1).

•If you sort a table in the web interface based on the Nodes column, the MWTM sorts the table based on the DNS names of the nodes, as the MWTM discovers nodes. However, if you modified your preferences to identify nodes by their user-defined names, then the MWTM sorts the table based on the user-defined names of the nodes. For more information, see Node Name Settings.

•To customize the sort order for status settings in the Status column of tables, use the Status settings section of the Preferences window. For more information, see Changing Status Settings.

•(ITP only) To sort a route table, click Sort Table. The MWTM sorts the entries in the route table field-by-field, beginning with Dest. Point Code, then Mask, Cost, Dest.Linkset, and finally QoS.

Printing Windows

You can print most MWTM windows, as well as the topology map, for those times when you need hardcopy.

To print an MWTM window, choose File > Print from most MWTM windows (for example, the MWTM main window or topology window).

The MWTM displays the Print dialog box.

You use the Print dialog box to specify print settings, such as which printer to print to, whether to send output to a file (the default location for the print file is your home directory), and whether to print duplex.

---

Note You can send output to a file only in the file formats that your printer drivers support. Sending output to files can result in large file sizes that you will need to monitor and manage.

---

When you are satisfied with your print settings, click Print. The MWTM prints the window or map.

To exit the Print dialog box at any time without printing, click Cancel.

Managing and Deploying ITP Files

You use the MWTM to manage GTT files, route table files, and MLR address table files. The MWTM provides a Node File Management dialog box and a Node Archive Management dialog box:

•Node File Management

•Node Archive Management

•Deploying ITP Files

Node File Management

You use the Node File Management dialog box to:

•View:

–GTT files

–Route table files

–MLR address table files

•Check these files for semantics and syntax

•Delete, rename, and upload the files to a remote node

•Activate the files

The Node File Management dialog box can handle GTT and route table files up to 512 KB in size (the maximum size supported by the MWTM and ITP) and up to 100,000 MLR address table entries.

To launch the Node File Management dialog box, choose Network > Node File Management from the MWTM main menu. The MWTM displays the Node File Management dialog box.

You use the Deployment Wizard to validate a route table file, GTT file, or MLR address table file, upload it to an ITP, archive the file, and activate it on the ITP. The Deployment Wizard can handle route table and GTT files up to 512 KB in size (the maximum size the MWTM and ITP support) and up to 100,000 MLR address table entries.

To launch the Deployment Wizard, choose File > Deploy from the route table menu, GTT menu, or Address Table Editor menu. The MWTM displays the Deployment Wizard for the currently visible file.

Figure 5-2 Deployment Wizard for a GTT File

** Illustration to be supplied **

The left pane of the Deployment Wizard contains:

Step	Description
Select File	Indicates that the file is chosen for deployment. The name of the file to deploy appears in the Deployment Wizard title bar.
Select Node/SP	If you are deploying a GTT file or address table file, you use this option to select the signaling point to deploy the file. You can optionally check the Filter by Node check box, which limits signaling point selection to a specific node. Select a signaling point and node (optional) from the drop-down list boxes in the right pane, then click Next >. If you are deploying a route table file, the MWTM proceeds directly to the Validate step.
Validate	Validates the file for deployment. Validation messages and error messages, if any, appear in the right pane.
Login	You can log in to the signaling point. If required, enter the: •Login username, if required. •Login password, if required. •Enable username, if required. •Enable password, if required. Note To avoid entering username and password information each time, you can set up credentials (see Configuring Login Credentials, page 3-20).
Upload	Uploads the file to the signaling point. If the file uploads with no errors, the MWTM proceeds to the Activate step. If the specified file already exists on the ITP, the MWTM displays the name of the duplicate file and the Overwrite and Always Overwrite check boxes. Check the: •Overwrite check box to overwrite the file on the ITP with the file being deployed. This is the default setting. •Always Overwrite check box if you want the MWTM to always overwrite the file on the ITP with the file being deployed, without prompting you for confirmation. The default setting for this check box is unchecked (prompt for confirmation). If you have set your preferences so that the MWTM client identifies nodes by their DNS names (the default setting) instead of by their IP addresses, then the ITP must be able to resolve the DNS names. Otherwise, the MWTM issues an appropriate error message and does not deploy the file. To enable the ITP to resolve DNS names, enter the ip domain-lookup command on the ITP. For more information about this command, see the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 1 of 4: Addressing and Services, Release 12.3 or later. For more information about the Show DNS or User-Defined Names and Show IP Address in Name Field preference settings, see Node Name Settings.
Archive	You use to enter archive comments, if required. If archive comments are not required, the MWTM displays the Always Skip Archive Comments check box. For details on setting archive comments to required or optional, see mwtm deployarchive, page B-94.
Activate	Activates the file on the signaling point (replaces the currently running route table file, GTT file, or address table file with the deployed file). The MWTM displays the Activate File and Always Activate File check boxes. You can: •Check the Activate File check box to activate the deployed file on the ITP. This is the default setting. •Uncheck the Activate File check box if you do not want to activate the deployed file on the ITP yet. •Check the Always Activate File check box if you want the MWTM to always activate the deployed file on the ITP, without prompting you for confirmation. The default setting for this check box is cleared (prompt for confirmation).
Done	Displays any status messages, such as errors or successful completion.

The bottom line of the Deployment Wizard contains:

Field or Button	Description
Progress Bar	Indicates that the MWTM is validating or uploading the file.
Show Log/Hide Log	Displays or hides the log file for the Deployment Wizard.
Next >	Advances to the next step in the Deployment Wizard.
Finish	Closes the Deployment Wizard. The Finish button appears when deployment ends successfully, or when the MWTM encounters errors and cancels the process.
Cancel	Closes the Deployment Wizard without deploying the file.
Help	Displays online help for the Deployment Wizard.

Exporting Current Node Names and SNMP Community Names

To export current MWTM node names and read and write SNMP community names, in CiscoWorks import format, with fields separated by commas (,), specify the cw keyword:

mwtm export cw

You can export this data to a file, then use the file to import the nodes into the CiscoWorks database.

For more information about the use of the mwtm export cw command, see mwtm export cw, page B-31.

Integrating the MWTM with Other Products

The MWTM does not require CiscoWorks or the Cisco Info Center (CIC), but the MWTM does integrate with those products to provide added value. See these sections for more information:

•Integrating the MWTM with CiscoWorks

•Forwarding Traps to Other Hosts (Server Only)

Integrating the MWTM with CiscoWorks

The MWTM can integrate with CiscoWorks during installation, registering with CiscoWorks as an installed application. In this scenario, CiscoWorks and MWTM are running on the same server. See the "Installing the MWTM on Solaris" and "Installing the MWTM on Windows" chapters of the Installation Guide for the Cisco Mobile Wireless Transport Manager 6.1 for more information.

You can also integrate the MWTM with CiscoWorks after installation by using:

•Preference settings. See Changing CiscoWorks Server Settings.

•The mwtm cwsetup command. See mwtm cwsetup, page B-21, for more information.

Once you have integrated the MWTM with CiscoWorks, you can:

•Launch CiscoWorks Applications from the MWTM Client

•Launch Integrated Applications from the MWTM Web Interface

•Launch the MWTM Web Interface from the CiscoWorks Dashboard

Launch CiscoWorks Applications from the MWTM Client

When you integrate the MWTM with CiscoWorks, you can launch, from the MWTM client Tools > Launch menu, the:

•CiscoView

•CiscoWorks LMS Portal

•Content Services Gateway (CSG) Service Manager

•CiscoWorks Device Center

•GPRS Gateway Support Node (GGSN) Service Manager

To launch CiscoWorks applications from the MWTM client:

---

Step 1 Ensure that CiscoWorks is installed in the network.

Step 2 To launch the appropriate CiscoWorks application:

CiscoWorks Application	Description	Steps to Launch from MWTM
CiscoView	Provides a real-time, color-coded, graphical representation of Cisco devices. You can use CiscoView to quickly identify an incorrect status on a port or interface. If you are running CiscoWorks on UNIX or Windows, you can access CiscoView through the link to the web version of CiscoWorks.	Choose Tools > Launch > CiscoView from the MWTM main menu. Or, right-click a node in the navigation tree and choose Launch > CiscoView.
CiscoWorks LMS Portal	Provides a dashboard of CiscoWorks tools and utilities such as Resource Manager Essentials.	Choose Tools > Launch > CiscoWorks LMS Portal from the MWTM main menu.
CSG Service Manager	Provides a wizard-based workflow to provision CSG1 and CSG2 features in the network.	Choose Tools > Launch > CSG Service Manager from the MWTM main menu.1
Device Center	Provides useful web-based device-monitoring functions, including reachability trends, response time trends, interface status, Syslog browsing, and a detailed inventory.	Choose Tools > Launch > Device Center from the MWTM main menu. Or, right-click a node in the navigation tree and choose Launch > Device Center.
GGSN Service Manager	Provides a wizard-based workflow to provision GGSN devices.	Choose Tools > Launch > GGSN Service Manager from the MWTM main menu.1

1 The MWTM attempts to launch the URL of the service manager that resides on the LMS server. If the service manager is not installed on the LMS server, you will receive an HTTP 404 error. To prevent this error, ensure that the service managers are installed on the LMS server, or remove the CSG or GGSN network setting with the mwtm manage command.

Step 3 At the prompt, enter a CiscoWorks user ID and password.

Depending on your selection in Step 2, the MWTM links to the:

•Device Center dashboard, which displays information about the chosen node.

•CiscoView, which shows a graphical representation of the chosen node.

•CSG Service Manager

•GGSN Service Manager

Launch Integrated Applications from the MWTM Web Interface

To launch integrated applications from the MWTM web interface:

---

Step 1 From the MWTM web interface, click the Tools link in the navigation tree (left pane).

---

Note If CiscoWorks does not appear in the navigation tree of the MWTM web interface, CiscoWorks is not integrated with the MWTM. Use the mwtm cwsetup, page B-21, to integrate CiscoWorks with the MWTM.

---

Step 2 In the right pane, in the Launch pane, click:

•CiscoView (server_name)

•CiscoWorks LMS Portal (server_name)

•CSG Service Manager (server_name)

•Device Center (server_name)

•GGSN Service Manager (server_name)

The chosen application launches.

---

Note The MWTM attempts to launch the URL of the service manager that resides on the LMS server. If the service manager is not installed on the LMS server, you will receive an HTTP 404 error. To prevent this error, ensure that the service managers are installed on the LMS server, or remove the CSG or GGSN network setting with the mwtm manage command.

---

---

Launch the MWTM Web Interface from the CiscoWorks Dashboard

To launch the MWTM web interface from the CiscoWorks dashboard:

---

Step 1 Log in to your CiscoWorks dashboard.

Step 2 In the Mobile Wireless Transport Manager box, click the MWTM Server Home Page link.

---

Note If the Mobile Wireless Transport Manager box does not appear, CiscoWorks is not integrated with the MWTM. Use the mwtm cwsetup, page B-21, to integrate CiscoWorks with the MWTM.

---

The MWTM web interface opens to the home page.

---

Forwarding Traps to Other Hosts (Server Only)

You use the MWTM to forward SNMP traps to other SNMP servers, or hosts. The MWTM can then function as a trap multiplexer, integrating with high-level event- and alarm-monitoring systems such as the Cisco Info Center and Micromuse's Netcool suite of products. These systems can provide a single high-level view of all alarm monitoring in your network, making it easier to detect and resolve problems.

To enable the MWTM to forward SNMP traps to other hosts, specify the list of hosts in the TrapForwarder.properties file. The default file resides in the MWTM /properties directory. If you installed the MWTM in:

•The default directory, /opt, then the default file resides in /opt/CSCOsgm/properties/TrapForwarder.properties.

•A different directory, then the default file resides in that directory.

In the TrapForwarder.properties file, begin all comment lines with a pound sign (#).

All other lines in the file are host definition lines using this format:

SERVERxx=dest-address[:portno]

where:

•xx is the user-defined server number.

•dest-address is the hostname, or the IP address in dotted-decimal format.

•portno is the optional port number. The default port number is 162.

For example, this host definition line:

SERVER02=64.102.86.104:162

enables the MWTM to forward traps to Server 02, with IP address 64.102.86.104, on port 162.

Any changes you make to the TrapForwarder.properties file take effect when you restart the MWTM server. Thereafter, the MWTM forwards all traps from the listed hosts except traps:

•That the MWTM cannot parse.

•From hosts listed in the trapaccess.conf file. For more information, see Limiting Traps by IP Address, page 3-9.

The MWTM modifies Version 2c traps that do not have the agent IP address already specified in the varbind list by including the agent IP address in the varbind list.

You can also forward MWTM events to other hosts, in the form of SNMP traps. For more information, see Forwarding Events as Traps to Other Hosts, page 9-48.

Running Simultaneous Client Sessions

You can run multiple sessions of the MWTM client simultaneously because the MWTM uses a client-server architecture. The MWTM server provides central services and database functions and communicates with multiple MWTM clients. You can install the MWTM client software on the same system as the MWTM server, or on a different system on the same network as the MWTM server.

---

Note Running more than one MWTM client on the same workstation can degrade the workstation performance.

The MWTM recommends a maximum of 20 clients per MWTM server. If you connect more than 20 clients to a single server, the server requires additional memory and a more powerful CPU.

---

Performing Basic Server Operations

This section contains this information:

•Connecting to a New Server

•Viewing Server Status Information

Connecting to a New Server

You use the MWTM to connect the client to a new MWTM server. For example, you can monitor two or more networks from the same MWTM client, simply by switching servers. Or, if you have two MWTM servers monitoring the same network, and one server fails, the MWTM client automatically switches to the secondary server.

If you want to determine the default hostname before you connect to the new server, it appears in the SERVER_NAME entry in the System.properties file. If you installed the MWTM in:

•The MWTM in the default directory, /opt, then the location of the System.properties file is /opt/CSCOsgm/properties/System.properties.

•A different directory, then the System.properties file resides in that directory.

To connect the client to a new server, choose File > Connect to New Server from the MWTM main menu. The MWTM displays the Connect to New Server dialog box.

The Connect to New Server dialog box contains:

Field or Button	Description
Server Name or IP Address	Name or IP address of the new server. Enter the name of the new server, or its IP address, in the Server Name or IP Address field.
Name Server Port	UDP port number for the new server. Enter the MWTM Naming Server UDP port number for the new server in the Name Server Port field. The default value is 44742.
OK	Stops the MWTM client, then restarts the client connected to the specified server. When you have entered the name of the new server, or its IP address, and its UDP port number, click OK. The MWTM stops the client, then restarts the client connected to the new server.
Cancel	Closes the Connect to New Server dialog box without connecting to the new server.
Help	Displays online help for the Connect to New Server dialog box.

Viewing Server Status Information

You use the MWTM to view detailed information about the processes, pollers, tasks, and clients for the server to which you are connected.

To display server status information, choose View > MWTM Server > Status in the MWTM main menu. The MWTM displays the Server Status Information window.

Server Status Information:Pollers

The Server Status Information: Pollers table lists the detail and demand pollers that the MWTM server is currently processing, and contains:

Field	Description
Poller ID	Number to uniquely identify each MWTM detail poller that is currently active. MWTM detail pollers collect detailed data (such as real-time data, statistics, route detail, and so on) that the regular MWTM poller did not collect.
Client Host	Name of the MWTM client that started the detail poller.
Interval	Poll interval for the detail poller, in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Iteration	Number of times the detail poller should poll. If this field displays Forever, the detail poller will never stop polling, until the MWTM client requests that it stops.
Next Poll	Time until the next poll, in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Time Limit	Time remaining, in hours, minutes, and seconds, until the poller times out. When the poller times out, the MWTM automatically stops the poller to prevent unnecessary traffic on the network and sends an appropriate error message to the client. By default, the MWTM allows pollers to run up to 8 hours. To change that setting, see the description of the mwtm pollertimeout command in mwtm pollertimeout, page B-49.
Description	Description of the detail poller.

Server Status Information:Tasks

The Server Status Information: Tasks table lists long-running services that the MWTM server performs, and contains:

Field	Description

Iteration	Number of times the task should run. If this field displays Forever, the task will never stop polling.
Next Execution	Time until the next run for the task, in hours, minutes, and seconds.
State	Current state of the task. Valid values are: •None—Task is stopped. •Waiting—Task is waiting to transition to Ready or Running state. •Ready—Task is ready to execute but is not yet in Running state. •Running—Task is started and is currently executing. •Pending—Task was in Ready state when a user canceled it. The task is pending final removal from the scheduler. •Error—Task encountered an error. •Dying—Task was in Running state when it was canceled by a user. The task continues to run in Dying state until it ends. The server then removes the task from the scheduler.
Description	Description of the task.

Server Status Information: Clients

The Server Status Information: Clients table contains:

Field	Description
Process Name	Name of an MWTM client that is currently connected to the server.
User Name	If you have implemented MWTM User-Based Access, this field displays the name of an MWTM client user who is currently logged in and connected to the server. If you have not implemented MWTM User-Based Access, this field displays the name of the node that the user is using.
Message Mask	Mask that indicates which messages can be sent to the client.
Sleeping?	Indicates whether the thread that is responsible for delivering messages is sleeping (yes) or not (no). The normal setting for this field is no.
Sleep Time	Time in seconds the thread that is responsible for delivering messages has been sleeping. The normal setting for this field is 0.
Queue Size	Number of messages waiting to be sent to the MWTM client. The normal setting for this field is 0, but it could be higher if the MWTM server or client is very busy, as during Discovery.
