VDPXSRV

CA SRM can start the Application Server using mechanisms that access workload scheduling systems, such as the Workload Management component of Unicenter®, Autosys, or third-party scheduling products. CA SRM uses the VDPXSRV command line utility to interact with these workload-scheduling systems.

VDPXSRV executes in the following two modes, which are controlled by command line parameters:

• Synchronous—VDPXSRV waits until the launched service or procedure stops. The execution of VDPXSRV is successful if the specified service or procedure terminates normally.
• Asynchronous—VDPXSRV terminates immediately after scheduling the service or procedure. The execution of VDPXSRV is successful if the specified service or procedure is found and starts.

If the execution of VDPXSRV fails, CA SRM automatically issues a Result file containing a description of the problem. The default name of the Result file is VDPXSRV.LOG. When the VDPXSRV utility successfully executes, CA SRM deletes or resets the existing VDPXSRV.LOG file.

Note: You can use the command line parameter to overwrite the file name.
