• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• Enter the DB to which the test should connect. The default value is %SYS.

• Specify the USER name to be used by the test for connecting to the specified DB. The default value is _SYSTEM.

• Mention the PASSWORD of the specified USER.

• Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• Specify the QUERY to be executed on the DB to ascertain the availability and responsiveness of the server.

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.

Note:

This test requires JDK 1.5 for execution. However, only JDK 1.3 is bundled with the eG agent. Therefore, to ensure the smooth execution of the test, you will have to do the following before attempting to monitor the Cache database server:

• Install JDK 1.5 on the host of the external agent that will be executing this test.
• Edit the debugon.bat and debugoff.bat files in the {EG_AGENT_INSTALL_DIR}\lib directory.
• These files contain path specifications to JDK 1.3 and JRE 1.3. Replace these path specifications with that of JDK (and JRE) 1.5 that you just installed on the host. In the extract below, the text in Bold indicates where and what changes have to be made to these files:
set path="{JDK1.5_install_dir}\bin";C:\eGurkha\bin;C:\eGurkha\lib;C:\eGurkha\bin\ic;D:\oracle\ora92\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.3.1\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\InterSystems\Cache;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;%EGURKHA_PATH% net stop eGurkhaAgent js -uninstall eGurkhaAgent js -install eGurkhaAgent "{JDK1.5_install_dir}\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" -Xrs -Djava.class.path=%classpath% -Djava.library.path=C:\eGurkha\lib;C:\eGurkha\bin -start EgMainAgent -params -manager 192.168.10.12 -port 7077 -dir C:\eGurkha -ssl false -highSecurity false -path "{JDK1.5_install_dir}\jre\bin" exit
• Save the changes.
• Run both the batch files, one after another.
• Finally, restart the eG agent that will be executing this test.
