Explorer Master server issue - SDK help

[former_member185603]

We have a known bug in our environment . Explorer master server is stopped state intermittently. We have monitoring setup whenever the master server is stopped state, to send out the email. Sometimes we cannot take immediate action to start the server espicially during off hours.

So we are planning to automate the process using SDK.

We know we get the status of the server using querybuilder. We need help in starting the explorer master server , which one to look in the service area or any other way of finding the master server and start using SDK.

Please suggest options.

Hi Jawahar,

Listening to your issue, the program object can help you in starting the server once it is stopped. The Program Object are the java/VB script/batch file which we can schedule on a recurrence/event based. We can create a Java Program Object through which we can check the status of the Explorer Master Server & if it is stopped, the Program object will start it.

Did you know, how often your explorer master server stopped intermittently? For scheduling the program object you have to decide when it will run. This Program Object can also have the scheduling capabilities just like other objects on the basis of recurrence & event based.

Please refer the SAP KBase: 1682734 - How to Restart Enterprise Server using Enterprise Java SDK, to take a look how to restart the server. You have to provide the SI_ID of the Explorer Master Server to restart it through code. You can also deploy this piece of code on a web-application server to restart the Explorer Server manually. Or you can also create a new program object to automate the process of restarting the server at the downtime using scheduling capabilities.

Following are some of the SAP KBases on how to design a Program Object:-

- 1501932 - How to get started with writing Java Program Objects

- 1199532 - How to publish a Java program object in Business Objects Enterprise.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Shailendra

Thanks Shailendra for useful info.

Explorer master server stops atelast 2-3 times a day.We have 2 node clustered environment. Sometimes we see both master servers were stopped.

We have monitoring setup for master server state, so we will setup throttle to excecute the program object or probe once the watch list reaches danger state.
