To display meaningful data at the browser, the frequency with which the workstation accesses the host must be a numerical value greater than the intervals set at the host. If the refresh intervals are not set correctly, duplicate information is displayed until the host interval values are reached and the counters cleared. To verify that the workstation values are valid, check with your systems administrator for the host refresh interval parameters.
The refresh interval at the workstation controls how often the wnrkstation accesses the host to update the screen display. The workstation interval may be set at any time the real-time graphical display is used. AutoRefresh, Refresh Interval, and Refresh are used to control the timing.
Automatically refreshes the screen with new data from the Host by the Refresh Interval set at the workstation without any user action required. | |
Refresh Interval |
Determines the AutoRefresh Interval for new data being displayed on the workstation screen (hours:minutes:seconds). To change the AutoRefresh Interval, double-click on the current AutoRefresh value, then enter the desired numerical value. The new timer interval begins with the next Refresh. Avoid setting a local interval value less than the Host Monitor interval value. |
Refresh |
If AutoRefresh is not set, the user must execute the Refresh command manually to periodically update the data displayed on the workstation. |
Since the reporting and refresh intervals for a particular workstation may be different than the monitoring interval set on the Host, it is important to set the workstation Refresh Interval to a value that is as large as the largest of the Host sampling intervals set for reporting data and/or Alerts. Otherwise, the most current interval can potentially be missed if the REFRESH parameter in AESTCPIP is less than the sampling intervals.
