How can I monitor Facsimile/400 and know when it stops sending faxes?
here's my situation:
We are using Facsimile/400 on a IBM System i and sometimes it just stops sending faxes. Everything seems in order but the faxes just pile up with a "Sending" status.
This is an intermittent problem that cannot be provoked manually so I want to come up with a program that checks that the fax is still running开发者_如何学编程.
Here are the problem's symptoms when it happens:
- In
CHKFAXSTS
, all the faxes have the "Sending" status - The
QFFSNDFAX
output queue is empty - The
QFFSNDERR
output queue is filled with the currently sending faxes and the previous faxes in error
Now how can I know that the fax is still sending faxes?
I can get the list of the spooled files in QFFSNDERR
and check if a spooled file is lingering there too long, but how can I know it's status is "Sending"? - I don't want to catch the faxes that have a wrong fax number etc.
If you are still looking for a solution try asking on the MIDRANGE-L mailing list
Here's the approach I used:
I found the table QUSRSYS/QAFQSND
, which contains the complete list of faxes as they can be seen in CHKFAXSTS
.
With a SQL query, I can now check if there are faxes on the "Sending" status for too long.
