Situation Description

This situation is triggered when the overall status of the workload is not satisfactory. Valid values for workload status are SATISFACTORY or UNSATISFACTORY. The Workload Status attribute is the aggregate of the workload status as reported by the Multi-site Workload Lifeline product and the workload status as reported by the replication server associated with the workload.

  • If both reported statuses indicate a satisfactory status, the overall status of the workload is set to SATISFACTORY.
  • If one or both of the reported statuses indicate an unsatisfactory status, the overall status of the workload is set to UNSATISFACTORY.

 

Suggested Actions

The Detected Failure attribute indicates the monitoring component that detected a failure when the Workload Status attribute value is UNSATISFACTORY. The following values are valid:

  • BOTH - This value indicates that both the Multi-site Workload Lifeline product and the replication server associated with the workload reported an unsatisfactory workload status.
  • NONE - This value indicates that neither the Multi-site Workload Lifeline product nor the replication server associated with the workload are reporting an unsatisfactory workload status. The overall workload status is satisfactory.
  • REPLICATION - This value indicates that the replication server associated with the workload reported an unsatisfactory workload status.
  • ROUTING - This value indicates that the Multi-site Workload Lifeline product reported an unsatisfactory workload status.

If the workload status as reported by the Multi-site Workload Lifeline product is unsatisfactory, verify the following:

  • Determine the state of the workload as reported by the Multi-site Workload Lifeline product. The Workload Routing State attribute in the Workload Sites workspace indicates the routing state of the workload. If the state is quiesced, ensure that a MODIFY advisor_proc,ACTivate,WORKload=workloadname,Site=sitename command has been issued to allow the workload to be active to the specified site.
  • Determine if the server applications that make up the workload are unresponsive or not available on the site where the workload is currently active. Ensure that the server applications are successfully running on the active site.

If the workload status as reported by the replication server is unsatisfactory, verify the following:

  • Determine the state of the capture workload as reported by the replication server. The Capture Workload State attribute indicates the workload status of the replication server. This attribute is displayed in the Replications Servers Summary table view of either the Replication Servers or Filtered Replication Servers workspace.
    • For a workload type of IMS, when the value of the Capture Workload State attribute is either "REPLICATE CONTINUOUS" or "STARTING", the status is considered to be satisfactory. Any other value indicates an unsatisfactory status.
    • For a workload type of DB2, when the value of the Capture Workload State attribute is "REPLICATE CONTINUOUS", the status is considered to be satisfactory. Any other value indicates an unsatisfactory status.
