Arguments

-wait number-of-seconds

Specifies the maximum wait period (in seconds) when a command that cannot be executed with this command is running. If the setting to suspend execution of alarm commands (Alarm Command Wait Mode) is enabled in the startup information file (jpccomm.ini) and you want to specify a wait period (in seconds) separately from the wait period specified in the jpccomm.ini file, specify a value in the range from 1 to 3,600 for this option.

If you omit the option, this command runs with the wait period (in seconds) that is specified in the jpccomm.ini file.

For details on the commands that cannot be executed with this command, see Commands that cannot be executed with alarm commands. For details on the jpccomm.ini file and Alarm Command Wait Mode, see Startup information file (jpccomm.ini).

Corrective action for each alarm application status

Alarm application status

Explanation

Corrective action

Waiting

(waiting to be applied)

Alarm information is in the process of being applied.

Wait approximately 5 minutes and then re-execute the command jpctool alarm unapplied.

Failed

(failed to be applied)

Application of the alarm information failed, or the application process timed out.

Execute the command jpctool config alarmsync -target failed, and then re-execute the command jpctool alarm unapplied.#

Uncertain

(status unknown)

The application status of the alarm information is unknown.

Take corrective action according to the cause. For details, see the chapter that explains monitoring operations with alarms in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

Incompatible

(not supported)

Application of the alarm information failed, or the application process timed out, or this version of the service does not support application of alarm information using the command jpctool config alarmsync.

Restart the Action Handler service that is displayed, and then re-execute the command jpctool alarm unapplied.

Inactive

(stopped)

Alarm information cannot be applied because the service is currently stopped.

Start the service. However, if there are no problems associated with the stopped service, no corrective action is required.

#

Applying information to many services at the same time might cause the monitoring manager to work slowly.

In addition, you cannot apply alarm information when the command jpctool config sync is executing, or when information is being applied from the Alarm Application Status window.

If the alarm information is not applied to a service even after these corrective actions, verify that the following problems have not occurred:
