tcpconnid.ctr file purpose

[tyler tesson]

Can someone explain what the tcpconnid.ctr file is for in the exec directory?

We are adding another site to our  production server and the new site is missing this file, but our other live production site has it in the exec directory. When we manually failed over both sites on the clustered server, the site that was missing  tcpconnid.ctr file, the monitor daemen did not come up as expected. After we deleted the monitorShemFile and rdm.taf and ran HCISITECTL -sm it came up. Even after we brought the GUI back up, the file is still missing. Could this of caused the monitor daemen not to come up on a fail over? And what could be the reason it is missing? Thanks

Tyler,

I don’t recognize that file as something that comes with Cloverleaf and I cannot find any instance of a file with that name in our environment (Cloverleaf 6.0, AIX).

Of course we don’t use EVERY Protocol supported by Cloverleaf and do not have all the add-ins so this may be part of Cloverleaf we either don’t use or do not have.

Perhaps that is a local counter file (local to your installation).

Maybe someone else has some thoughts??

I see that we have a few of these files under a few sites.  I’m wondering if it has something to do with Multi-server connections (i.e. counter file for counting each time a connection is made).

Jim and Tyler,

Jim you got it. I just started a multiserver connection (no one connected) and the file appeared.
