NAME

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

VERSION

Version 0.07

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 services)
    $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: Ingres may need to be restarted!).

FUNCTIONS

new()

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

    $namu = Ingres::Utility::IINamu->new();
show(;$serverType)

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

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

    print $namu->show('COMSVR'); # show IIGCN servers
getServer()

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

    # getServer()[0]: server type (INGRES, COMSVR, etc.)
    # getServer()[1]: server name (as registered with IINAMU or add() method)
    # getServer()[2]: server GCA address (given by INGSTART)
    # getServer()[3]: extra info
    
    $namu->show('INGRES'); # prepare to show all INGRES (IIDBMS ) servers
    
    while (@svrs = $namu->getServer()) {
        print "Server name: $svrs[1]\t address: $svrs[2]";
        print "\t($svrs[3])" if (defined $svrs[3]);
        print "\n"
    }
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.

    $namu->stop(); # no more connections (local remote, etc...)
add($serverType,$serverName,$serverAddr)

Register another server with IIGCN, so that it can be available to clients.

Parameters:

    # serverType: type of server (INGRES, COMSVR, etc.)
    # serverName: '*' or a name to individualize the server from the others
    # serverAddr: GCA address attributed during ingstart utility
    
    print $namu->add('COMSVR', '*', '123456'); # register IIGCN server
del($serverType,$serverName,$serverAddr)

Unregister another server with IIGCN, so that it will not be available to clients.

A server can be registered later again.

Parameters:

    # serverType: type of server (INGRES, COMSVR, etc.)
    # serverName: '*' or a name to individualize the server from the others
    # serverAddr: GCA address attributed during ingstart utility
    
    print $namu->del('COMSVR', '*', '123456'); # this one is not seen anymore.

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.

Module Expect::Simple cannot be instanciated.

The Expect::Simple module could not be instanciated. The module is reponsible for interections with iinamu utility. Debugging will be required.

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.
