resetFTA

Generates an updated Sinfonia file and sends it to a fault-tolerant agent on which the Symphony file has corrupted.
Note: Complete removal and replacement of the Symphony file causes some loss of data, for example events on job status, or the contents of the Mailbox.msg message and the tomaster.msg message queues. If state information about a job was contained in those queues, that job is rerun. It is recommended that you apply this command with caution.
In the process, the following files are moved to the TWA_home/TWS/tmp directory:
  • Appserverbox.msg
  • clbox.msg
  • Courier.msg
  • Intercom.msg
  • Mailbox.msg
  • Monbox.msg
  • Moncmd.msg
  • Symphony
  • Sinfonia

Before the command is performed, an information message is displayed to request confirmation and ensure the command is not issued by mistake. If one of the target files cannot be moved because it is being used by another process (for example, the mailman process is still running) the operation is not performed and an error message is displayed.
