SYS_INFO

Script function: Reads AE system information.

Automation Engine Version

[Automation Engine version] [Workload]

Syntax

SYS_INFO (component, VERSION, [ type ], [component name])

Syntax	Description/Format
component	The component whose version should be retrieved. Format: script literal or script variable Allowed values: "SERVER" and "INITIALDATA"
VERSION	This keyword causes the Automation Engine version of the component to be retrieved.
Type	This specifies the part of the version that should be read. Format: AE name, script variable or script literal Allowed values: "MAJOR" - major version "MINOR" - minor version "PATCH" - Service-Pack number "RELEASE_IDENTIFIER" - Build type and number "ALL" (default) - The complete version.
Component name	The name of the agent whose version should be retrieved. Format: AE name, script variable or script literal

Return Codes
The Automation Engine version of the required component. "20291" - The specified agent could not be found. "20680" - There is an unknown value for this part of the version. "20863" – An invalid value has been used for the component. "20864" – The second parameter is not VERSION.

Return Codes

The Automation Engine version of the required component.

"20291" - The specified agent could not be found.
"20680" - There is an unknown value for this part of the version.
"20863" – An invalid value has been used for the component.
"20864" – The second parameter is not VERSION.

Comments

This script function retrieves the version of the Automation Engine, of an agent or of the AE database's initial data.

To read the version of an agent, set the value "AGENT" in the parameter component and specify the agent's name in the parameter Component name.

An Automation Engine version is composed of various information (major version, minor version etc.). You can use the parameter Type if you want to read only a specific part of a version.

Examples

The following example reads the version of the Automation Engine:

:SET &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(SERVER, VERSION)

The second example retrieves the version of the AE database's initial data.

:SET &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(INITIALDATA, VERSION)

The third example reads the version of the agent WIN01:

:SET &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(AGENT, VERSION,,"WIN01")

The fourth example retrieves the individual parts of the Automation Engine's version such as the major version, minor version, service pack version, and the build number and writes it to the activation report. Finally, the complete version number is output.

:SET  &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(SERVER, VERSION,MAJOR)
:PRINT "Automation Engine - Major Version: &VERSION#"
:SET  &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(SERVER, VERSION,MINOR)
:PRINT "Automation Engine - Minor Version: &VERSION#"
:SET  &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(SERVER, VERSION,PATCH)
:PRINT "Automation Engine - Service Pack: &VERSION#"
:SET  &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(SERVER, VERSION,RELEASE_IDENTIFIER)
:PRINT "Automation Engine - Build: &VERSION#"
:SET  &VERSION# = SYS_INFO(SERVER, VERSION,ALL)
:PRINT "Automation Engine - Version: &VERSION#"

Example of an output in the activation report:

2013-05-07 16:16:52 - U0020408 Automation Engine - Major Version: 10
2013-05-07 16:16:52 - U0020408 Automation Engine - Minor Version: 0
2013-05-07 16:16:52 - U0020408 Automation Engine - Patch: 0
2013-05-07 16:16:52 - U0020408 Automation Engine - Build: -dev+build.954
2013-05-07 16:16:52 - U0020408 Automation Engine - Version: 10.0.0-dev+build.954

Workload

[Automation Engine version] [Workload]

Syntax

SYS_INFO (MQPWP, BUSY, Period)
SYS_INFO (Message queue, COUNT)
SYS_INFO (Message queue, LENGTH, Period)

Syntax	Description/Format
Message queue	The message queue about which information should be retrieved. Format: script literal or script variable Allowed values: "MQPWP", "MQWP", "MQDWP", "MQOWP" and "MQRWP" "MQPWP" - The message queue of the primary work process. "MQWP" - The message queue of work processes. "MQDWP" - The message queue of dialog processes. "MQOWP" - The message queue for outputs. "MQRWP" - The message queue for resource calculations.
BUSY	Supplies the Automation Engine's workload in percent.
COUNT	Supplies the number of queued messages.
LENGTH	Supplies the average time it will take to process the message queue.
Period	The period that is used to calculate the workload or average processing time. Format: script literal or script variable Allowed values: "01", "10" and "60" "01" - The last minute. "10" - The last 10 minutes. "60" - The last hour.

Return Codes
"20876" - The message queue does not exist. "20864" - The second parameter is not valid. "20877" - The period does not comply with the allowed values. BUSY: The Automation Engine's workload in percent. COUNT: The number of queued messages. LENGTH: The average time that it will take to process the message queue.

Return Codes

"20876" - The message queue does not exist.
"20864" - The second parameter is not valid.
"20877" - The period does not comply with the allowed values.

BUSY:
The Automation Engine's workload in percent.

COUNT:
The number of queued messages.

LENGTH:
The average time that it will take to process the message queue.

Comments

This script function retrieves data about message queues.

You can retrieve the Automation Engine's workload in percent by using the keyword BUSY, and also with the script functions SYS_BUSY_01, SYS_BUSY_10 and SYS_BUSY_60.

Examples

The first example retrieves the Automation Engine's workload within the last 10 minutes. A message is sent to a user if 80% is exceeded.

:IF SYS_INFO(MQPWP, BUSY, "10") > 80
: SEND_MSG SMITH,AE,"Workload of Automation Engine is above 80%"
:ENDIF

The second example reads the number of messages found in the dialog-process queue.

:SET &NUMBER# = SYS_INFO(MQDWP, COUNT)

The third example supplies the current processing time of the work processes' message queue during the last hour.

:SET &DURATION# = SYS_INFO(MQWP, LENGTH, "60")
