How do I check that the Smarts SAM NL Driver is started and restart it if necessary?
NOTE: The NL drive provides communication between the AGG SAM and the PRES SAM.


 

To check that the Smarts SAM NL Driver is started and restart it if necessary, do the following:

1. Log into the Smarts SAM domain using DMCTL as follows:
   
   /dmctl -s DOMAIN_NAME
    
2. To check the instance of NL Driver, run the following command:
   
   getInstance GA_DaemonDriver
   
   
   The instance of NL drivers will display in this list of drivers.
    
3. To check the status of the NL Driver, run the following command:
   
   get GA_DaemonDriver::PARIS-GLOBAL-CONSOLE_NL-Driver ::isRunning
   
   
   The system will return a TRUE or FALSE response.
    
4. To start the NL Driver (if the preceding "isRunning" command returns FALSE), run the following command:
   
   invoke GA_DaemonDriver::PARIS-GLOBAL-CONSOLE_NL-Driver start
