How to check the status of an AppServer?

GOAL:

What do the status values for an AppServer mean?

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge Server Technology Category: AppServer

FIX:

1. You can check the status of a running AppServer using either the Progress Explorer or the -query option in the asbman command.

2. The returned status includes information on each Application Server process running on the AppServer.
Return status:

. AVAILABLE The process is available to execute application logic.
. BUSY The process is actively executing application logic for an AppServer client. For a state-aware or state-reset AppServer, this status persists until the client disconnects from the AppServer.
. LIMBO The process is in a transitional state. If this status persists, it indicates an error condition.
. LOCKED On a stateless AppServer, the process is in a bound connection with an AppServer client. This status persists until the connection becomes unbound.
. STARTING The AppServer has started the process, but it has not yet completed initialization.
