NAME

Ingres::Utility::IINamu - API to IINAMU Ingres RDBMS utility

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

List registered INGRES (IIDBMS) services:

    use Ingres::Utility::IINamu;

    my $foo = Ingres::Utility::IINamu->new();
    
    # list all INGRES-type servers (iidbms)
    print $foo->show('INGRES');
    
    # process each server separately
    while (my @server = $foo->getServer()) {
    	
	print "Server type: $server[0]\tname:$server[1]\tid:$server[2]";

	if (defined($server[3])) {

		print "\t$server[3]";

	}

	print "\n";

    }
    
    # stop IIGCN server (no more connections to all of Ingres)
    $ret = $foo->stop();
    
    ...

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an API to the iinamu utility for Ingres RDBMS, which provides local interaction and control of IIGCN server, in charge of registering all Ingres services.

Through this interface, it is possible to obtain a list of all registered services, for later processing (eg. iimonitor), and also stopping the IIGCN server (extreme caution!).

FUNCTIONS

new

Create a new instance, checking environment prerequisites and preparing for interfacing with iinamu utility.

show($serverType)

Returns the output of SHOW command, and prepares for parsing the servers sequentially with getServer().

Takes one optional argument for the service: 'INGRES'(IIDBS, default), 'COMSVR' (IIGCC), etc.

getServer

Returns sequentially (call-after-call) each server reported by show() as an array of 3~4 elements.

stop

Shuts down the IIGCN daemon, making it no longer possible to stablish new connections to any Ingres service. After this, a total restart of Ingres will most probably be necessary.

DIAGNOSTICS

Ingres environment variable II_SYSTEM not set

Ingres environment variables should be set on the user session running this module. II_SYSTEM provides the root install dir (the one before 'ingres' dir). LD_LIBRARY_PATH also. See Ingres RDBMS docs.

Ingres utility cannot be executed: _COMMAND_FULL_PATH_

The IINAMU command could not be found or does not permits execution for the current user.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Requires Ingres environment variables, such as II_SYSTEM and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

See Ingres RDBMS documentation.

DEPENDENCIES

Expect::Simple

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-ingres-utility-iinamu at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org.
