ORC

Introduction Copied

The ORC system comprises of a number of processes that interact across a distributed UNIX architecture. This architecture works as follows:

The GENEOS ORC plug-in module monitors ORC users and services, and should be configured for each process running on each box.

The following types of ORC user processes are currently supported:

ORC services are controlled via two processes, the Port Mapper Daemon (PMD) and the Exchange Mapper Daemon (EMD). All ORC services register themselves with one or both of these processes at start-up.

These processes know about ORC services across a distributed system, and act in a similar way to routers.

All ORC messages travel via an EMD or PMD, and when a message is received it is interpreted and forwarded on to the appropriate service by these two daemons.

The following types of ORC service processes are currently supported:

Information retrieved from different types of process varies slightly. See the views section below for a complete set of example views and a legend detailing what each view displays.
