seesys: administer a running system

Syntax

seesys
             -console options 
             -phasein options
             -recycle options
             -seppool options
This command is used to administer a running Enterprise Server for .NET system. Functionality includes:
  • Listing and replying to pending console input requests.
  • Phasing in a new version of a program that has already been loaded by one or more SEPs. This will cause a SEP that has already loaded the program to be unloaded and replaced by a new SEP. A transaction or job that is currently running in a SEP that needs to be replaced will be allowed to complete before the SEP gets unloaded.
  • Recycling SEPs. This may need to be done periodically to reduce the memory footprint of the processes that are hosting the SEPs. A transaction or job that is currently running in a SEP that needs to be recycled will be allowed to complete before the SEP gets unloaded.
  • Listing of all active SEP pools in the running system.
  • Recovery of tasks running in SEP pools that have been orphaned when the machine in which they are running dies or gets unconditionally powered down.
