SM2 operation Statements for SM2 adminstrators

Statements for preparing, starting, and stopping monitoring programs

Once you have defined the objects to be monitored, the monitoring program run can be started. Certain preparations are recommended for the COSMOS monitoring program to ensure that it starts quickly and without errors. After defining new monitored objects/ monitoring parameters, the monitoring program run must be stopped and then started again in order to actually add the newly defined objects and parameters to the monitoring program. The INITIATE, START, CHANGE and STOP statements are used for this purpose.

Statement	Function
INITIATE-COSMOS	Prepare the COSMOS monitoring program
START-MEASUREMENT-PROGRAM	Start the monitoring program run
CHANGE-MEASUREMENT-PROGRAM	Stop the current monitoring program run and restart
	it with new monitored objects/monitoring parameters
STOP-MEASUREMENT-PROGRAM	Terminate the monitoring program run

The START statement is used to start the monitoring programs. The CHANGE statement is required following the redefinition of monitored objects/monitoring parameters of the monitoring program run in order to add the new objects/parameters to the monitoring program. The monitoring program run is stopped and then started with the new monitored objects/monitoring parameters. The STOP statement terminates the specified monitoring programs.

The START, CHANGE and STOP statements merely interrupt the current monitoring cycle.

Statements for opening and closing the SM2 output file and controlling monitored- data acquisition

In addition to the output of reports on the screen, monitored data can be continuously written to file. Creating the SM2 output file (OPEN-LOG-FILE) and closing it (CLOSE-LOG- FILE) is a privilege reserved for SM2 administrators. The OPEN-LOG-FILE statement can be used to modify the predefined SM2 file attributes.

The MODIFY-MEASUREMENT-PERIODS statement can be used to modify the monitoring cycles for background monitoring (collecting and writing monitored data to the SM2 output file), and to modify the screen output and the sampling cycle.

Statement	Function
OPEN-LOG-FILE	Open the SM2 output file
CLOSE-LOG-FILE	Close the SM2 output file
MODIFY-MEASUREMENT-PERIODS	Modify the SM2 monitoring cycle
