ASAP 2.5 Server – transfer of information21 ASAP 2.5 CI Command Status Enhancements. STATUS TIMEOUT ENHANCEMENT −ASAP 2.5 now allows a user timeout value for the status command. The timeout value is in seconds. The Default is 15 seconds. −Timeout values are in the range of 1 to 99 seconds. −STATUS Timeout 5 Each SGP has 5 seconds to respond to the Status request. Any error 40 will be displayed for each SGP exceeding the timeout value. Other STATUS Enhancements: −ASAP 2.5 now displays any SGP that did not start as an error 11 in the Status output. −When an SGP is not working properly and is stopping the ASAP Monitor will wait 15 minutes before attempting to restart the SGP. The first attempt to start the SGP could be longer than 15 minutes depending on the time the Monitor was started. This check is done during the 15 minute audit interval.

ASAP 2.5 Server – transfer of information22 ASAP 2.5 SGP CPU Placement ASAP 2.5 now supports user specified CPU placement for all SGPS. −CPU placement is achieved by using the set command. CPU is a new option supported by all ASAP 2.5 SGPs. −CPU validation for CPU number 0-15 are performed. In the event the CPU is unavailable the SGP will be started in the same CPU as the ASAP Monitor process. −SET PROCESS CPU 5 −SET SPOOLER CPU 6
