NSADMIN
The NSADMIN (Network Services Administrator) utility provides a means
of remotely monitoring and administering an ODXNET process running on
any server, from a Windows client machine.
For a specified ODXNET process, NSAdmin displays information about preconnected
processes, and connected clients including the NSAdmin connection, query
states, Omnidex installation version information, and configuration settings.
NSAdmin also provides the ability to abort a running query, a client process,
or the odxsrvr process.
NSADMIN is installed with Omnidex Client on a Windows client machine.
Settings displayed from the ODXNET configuration file cannot be changed
from within NSAdmin.
Connect
to an ODXNET Listener
To connect NSAdmin to an ODXNET process, the process must have been
started using a properly configured ODXNET configuration file and Omnidex
Network Services.
The NSAdmin executable is located in the Omnidex Client default directory
(odxclnt).
NSAdmin will prompt for the server name or IP address, the ODXNET listener
port id, and the password specified in the listener's configuration file.
Program
Operation
After connecting to an ODXNET listener, the NSADMIN window opens displaying
host name, port #, ODXNET version # and the date and time that the ODXNET
listener was started at the top of the window.
At the bottom of the window are three buttons allowing you to refresh
the information being displayed, shut down the listener or close NSADMIN.
At the center of the window is a tab control with 6 tabs labeled:
ODXNET Clients - Shows connected clients
and available preconnections. To see more information about a particular
connection, double-click the desired connection or select the connection
and click the Client Details button. A new window pops up displaying information
about the client and the last query that processed through this client.
General - Shows current ODXNET listener
properties.
Startup - Shows ODXNET listener start
up properties.
Summary - Shows historical connection
statistics since the listener was started.
Pools - Shows a list of preconnections
and their status.
Versions - Shows ODXNET version information.
