Monitoring the HCL Compass RPC servers

In addition to monitoring the HCL Compass RPC servers by using the Site Monitoring page of the Site Configuration window, you can validate the startup and functioning of the RPC servers by viewing the HCL Compass Web log files and by using a command-prompt window.

About this task

The following variable is used in this topic:
compassHome
Directory where HCL Compass is installed

Procedure

  1. View the HCL Compass Web log files to validate whether the HCL Compass RPC server process, cqrpc, is running.
  2. You can also verify whether the HCL Compass RPC servers are functioning from the command-prompt window:
    1. Open a command window and navigate to the following directory:
      Windows
      cd compassHome\cqweb\bin
      UNIX Linux
      cd compassHome/cqweb/bin
    2. Enter the following command:
