5.8.1 Processing Overview

In a business system with a Web 3-tier configuration built using Interstage, this template becomes an operation process definition that is started when an Interstage event is issued. It defines tasks that isolate whether or not an event is a specific event for which a first response action is possible and defines actual examples of first response tasks as operation processes.

If "InterstageAPS" is specified as the message ID character string in the -msgID option of the Systemwalker Runbook Automation event notification command, swrba_notifyevent, this template is started automatically.

The flow of operation processes defined in this template is as follows:

  1. Checking the server type of the server that issued the event, and isolating whether it is a Web server or a server other than a Web server

  2. If a Web server, checking the Interstage Web service status and, if it has stopped, sending a mail notification accompanied by that information

  3. If the Interstage Web service status is running, requesting approval from the operator to execute the server restart operation as a first response

  4. When the server restart operation is approved, restarting the server. Then, checking whether or not the Interstage Web service has started and notifying the operator of the result by mail.

  5. If the server was judged to be a server other than a Web server in Step 1 above, sending the operator mail notifying that the server that issued the event is a server other than a Web server

  6. Outputting an instruction prompting the operator to make an entry in the problem management register

  7. After Step 6 above is completed, sending a request to the person responsible for system operations for task completion approval
