Issue/Introduction

While working on a NetMaster 12.1 to 12.2 region migration, certain considerations exist on the location of

NetMaster region timers.

Environment

Release : 12.2

Resolution

1 

Please review the contents of the NetMaster 12.1 initialization members called NMINIT and NMREADY.  It is very likely that the

NetMaster timers to be migrated to the 12.2 region are found inside one or both of these TESTEXEC members.

You could also do a SH TIMER=ALL from Command Entry to see what active TIMERs you currently have active.  Additionally,

remember that you could have implemented Timer Services within EventView.  That can be easily verified--issue the

following commands: 

 

=/ead.s.r

 

=/ead.s.t          ===>  If EventView is active this will show all of the TIMERs.

 

 

If you do have TIMERs in a RULESET you can easily migrate -- EXPORT/IMPORT TIMERS from the RAM utility menu's: 

 

/RAMUTIL.

Another way to determine beyond doing the SH TIMER=ALL is to look at the NetMaster Activity Log, and each time a TIMER

(AT/EV) is set you'll see the N11209 message response.  It follows an example on one of our regions:  Located in NMINIT

we have 5 TIMERS, as seen--each one shows the N11209 message after the AT command was issued.

 

+AT 20.00.00 FSTOP XYZZY                                            
+AT *+10 START $CAPKCAL $DFDBPKG DFDBCLEANUP                        
+AT 19.50.00 START $IAVP02Z                                         
+AT 19.30.00 START $CAPKCAL $IPGTPKG COLLECTSTATISTICS LOG=         
+AT 19.00.00 SYSCMD CANCEL U=<userid>
