Parameter
rdisp/snapshot
Short text
Configuration of snapshots
Parameter Description
You can use this parameter to specify whether or not the server creates a Management Console snapshot in certain situations. By default, a snapshot is created at every “hard” shutdown. Snapshots can also be created:
• If work processes, the gateway, or the ICM crash
• If the server resources have been exhausted (and therefore no further logons are possible). You can configure this with the subparameter CREATE, by setting the values NEVER, HIGH_LOAD, or RESOURCES_EXHAUSTED.
To avoid the creation of too many snapshots in certain situations, you can define a minimum time interval until the writing of the next snapshot using the subparameter PERIOD.
When a snapshot is written, this is done in multiple steps:
• The dispatcher writes all accessible information to its trace file.
• All running work processes are prompted to write information about what they are currently processing to the trace.
• A subsection of the trace files is then written to an archive. You can set the size of this section with the subparameter LINES.
