Table 11-1. Options for Use When Starting a Server

Option and <Argument>

Description

-server

<server name>

<

server name> is the name to be used for the @aGlance/IT

server. It can have a maximum of 20 characters. If this option is
omitted, default server name aagServer will be used. On a system
licensed for the @aGlance/IT server for Micro-DCI, the number of
servers for which the system is licensed will be started
automatically when the system is booted. (The maximum number
of servers per node is 2).

-nsessions

<number>

<number> determines the maximum number of sessions allowed
for the @aGlance server. The maximum number of sessions
allowed per server is 5, which is the default used if the -nsessions
option is not specified. If an argument with a value less than 1 is
supplied with this option, the number of sessions will be set to 1. If
an argument with a value greater than 5 is supplied, the number of
sessions will be set to 5.

-interval

<seconds>

<seconds> defines the number of seconds in the poll interval. This
argument is an integer. The minimum number of seconds that can
be specified is 1.

-monitor

When this option is used, the monitor feature is enabled.
Monitoring provides the means whereby an @aGlance/IT client is
advised (at a default or specified poll interval) regarding the
values contained in specified data points.

-daemon

When this option is used, the server will run as a background
process.

-clientshutdown

When this option is used, a client which requests a server
shutdown using the AAG_Shutdown method will be able to shut
down the server, provided that the session which is requesting the
shutdown is the only session running.

-evtmessage

Each time a client starts or ends a session, a message is
displayed in the system event display area of the Mini-Alarm
Window, the Event Review display, and is also entered into the
Event Historian. The message contains the following data in the
order shown:
<Time><Date><Node Name><@aGlance Server Name>
(<Micro-DCI login name>:<Remote Host name>:
<Remote User account identification>)<session ID>
When the -evtmessage option is used, these messages will be
suppressed.

-current

When this option is used, the AAG_GetTags method returns only
tags belonging to the Current Tagnames Name space.

-history

When this option is used, the AAG_GetTags method returns only
tags belonging to the History Tagnames Name space.

NOTE: Clients do not need to be aware of which node the server is running on.
