Information Technology Reference
In-Depth Information
•
An underlying database engine that offers increased performance and data storage without requiring
external administration by network operators
•
Object-oriented technology for interprocess communication between software components and
databases
These background processes are described in Table 24-6. The server processes represent the processes
controlled by the CWSI Campus software; these are the background processes for the client processes.
The client processes require user input.
To verify that these processes are running, you can use the
pdshow
command from any command
prompt. You also can use the Task Manager (on Windows NT) or
ps-
(on UNIX systems).

AniServer
ANI is a multithreaded Java
program. It is installed as a
daemon process and runs in
the background, beginning as
the workstation starts up. ANI
is responsible for the
discovery of the network, and
it does all SNMP
communication.

Database
The database engine is
responsible for checking all
ANI information into the
database. For ANI, this is a
checkpoint only. ANI
performs all its operations
from the data stored in
memory. The database stores
user-entered information and
allows ANI to quickly load its
data model into memory upon
a subsequent restart.
