In addition to the information available on the Server Status page in the Administrator Console, you can use the mba_mon.pl script from the command prompt to monitor the servers that support M-Business Server.

To use the mba_mon.pl script to monitor supporting servers

1. Make sure you have Perl 5.8.x or later installed on the system where M-Business Server is running.

   Note

   Your Perl installation must include the SOAP Lite PERL and Web User Agent PERL libraries. If you download ActivePerl 5.8.x from  http://www.activestate.com, the required libraries are included. On Windows only, the Win32::Service module is also required.

2. In a Command Prompt window, navigate to <M-Business_Home>\monitor.

3. Enter:

   perl mba_mon.pl <option>

   Where <option> is one of:

   • all – to see information on all of the supporting servers

   • admin – for the Admin Server, which manages the Administrator Console UI.

   • soap – for the SOAP Server, which generates the Administrator Console UI.

   • sync – for the Sync Server, which manages synchronizations between M-Business Server and M-Business Client.

   • sa – for the SQL Anywhere Server, which manages the M-Business Server database.

   When all servers are running, the command output looks like this:

   C:\M-BusinessAnywhereServer\monitor>mba_mon.pl admin admin service is running. successfully connected to admin server.

   If a server is not running, the command output looks like this:

   C:\M-BusinessAnywhereServer\monitor>mba_mon.pl admin admin service is STOPPED
