The following enhancements make Ingres easier to use and support:
The General Communications Facility is enhanced to improve the reliability, performance, and ease of use of your Ingres system. The Name Server registration mechanism no longer erroneously de-registers servers nor requires you to recycle the installation to recover servers. These problems occasionally occurred under heavy DBMS connectivity loads.
The enhancement also solves the problem with manually registering servers. Now when the iinamu utility is used to manually register a server, all necessary information is restored, clients are correctly validated, and attempts to connect with an installation password are not rejected.
As a result of this enhancement, the output of the SHOW SERVERS command in the iinamu utility is now identical in format to other SHOW class commands.
The iimonitor utility is an Ingres command line utility used to monitor DBMS servers, Recovery servers, and now GCF servers. The GCF servers support iimonitor commands. This feature provides additional capability to the Ingres system administrator to monitor, diagnose, and control the Name Server, Communications Server, and Data Access Server.
New iimonitor commands that are specific to GCF servers are as follows:
